Description:
The Vooruit Working Men's Club was one of many cooperative clubs for working men in the Netherlands. The building, consisting of four dwellings and a club building, was erected in 1911 and occupied by 1912. Oud was responsible for designing the housing block and main (Vooruit) building, which included a meeting hall and two frescos by J. Jongert. The main building also included latticed windows for the living room door that opened to the garden (Taverne et al. 2001, 82-83). The project series includes drawings of Vooruit and adjacent buildings as well as building photographs, including one of a metal grille.

CI005.S1.1915.PR1
Description:
In 1911-1913, the Hostel for Lower Naval Personnel was designed by architect Piet Kramer, a building for which Oud claimed that he created competition designs. Researchers, however, do not support this claim as Oud's designs are dated 1915. Oud's plans feature a lounge and off-centre entrance and staircase, as well as a reading room for a convalescent hospital for soldiers. Oud's designs feature a geometrical composition based on a system of triangles. The designs were considered stylistically significant and displayed in the 1917 Sphinx "International Exhibition" (Taverne et al. 2001,107). The series includes photographs of the competition design floor plans and elevations.

Description:
Oud likely drew plans for the Helder Junior Technical School as an exercise, rather than an as an entry for a building competition. The Den Helder technical school was built in 1907 and it is likely that the school did not initiate a competition for a new Junior Technical School. Oud designed a building complex with an internal courtyard, a gateway building with caretaker's lodge, and two main buildings for classes and workshops (Taverne et al. 2001, 110). The project series includes a drawing of plans and a photograph of an elevation for the Helder Junior Technical School.

Description:
This project series documents a multipurpose hall in Ambala Cantonment (also known as Ambala Cantt), India, most likely sometime in the 1980s or 1990s. This project consisted of an octagon shaped hall with a temporary stage that could be used for dances, weddings, theatre and seminars, among other events. The building had a jagged roofline with a pointed canopy over the entrance and a ramp that extended along its side. The project is recorded through drawings of plans, elevations, sections and perspectives and photographs of the project model, possibly dating from sometime in the 1980s-1990s.
