Description:
Project series documents Cedric Price's early work (before 1960), some of it undertaken on behalf of other architects (Drew Drake & Lasdun), smaller projects, and miscellaneous project records, including unrealized project proposals, architectural competitions, self-financed research, and consultation. Material includes mostly conceptual and presentation drawings, some design development drawings and photographic material, as well as, a few detail and construction drawings. Many of the smaller projects include only a few drawings or photographs and some only contain textual records. Early projects include: renovations to the premises of Balding & Mansell; a model titled 'Projural at Cadogan Place/for N. Fraser Esq'; Oldham Pub; Corby Civic Centre and Small Jobs; Department Store display; Bradwell Lodge (Essex); Pearson House; Bachelors' quarters, Nigeria; Guest house Gachsaran, Iran; display and service table for the Architectural Association dining room (London); Decorative panel for the School of Engineering, University of Liverpool; basement extension for Sheila Delaney; shop conversion at 25 Pembridge Road (London); proposed exhibition stand for Granwood Flooring Co. Ltd; Ardyne Point; Trocadero; material on fish farming (see also DR2004:1298 in Series 3); renovation at 41 Newport Street (Oldham); and renovations at 27 Witley Court on Coram Street (Bloomsbury). Project series also contains material for the following minor projects: Theatre Project, New York; Competition Vaux Brewery; Competition Liverpool University; Cinema Picadilly; Cap Benat Villa (Cote d'Azur, France); U.S. Trade Centre (St James's Street, London); Tunisia (Report on Tourism); design for Kasmin Gallery, for the Anthony Hill Exhibit; Trog; Anti-University (London); Army; Ellis Hillman Extension; Chelsea FC Sports; Picstate; C.S.P.; J.R.D.; Seaside; R.H.D.R.; Glubble; Crucifix; Oil; Cardington; Commin; Trust; Jubilee; SS '91; USIT; FRIAR; Sensor; Trak; Pruda; Yorskhire, AA 150th Competition; Viaduct; Island; ECH; Plaspot; GEE; Donew; INIVA; Treehouse; and Stuttgart Competition. The project National School Plan (1964-1966) contains a proposal by Cedric Price for restructuring architectural education in the United Kingdom. Project series also contains material for Almshouses, at Lindow Lodge in Lancaster, England, and Parish Hall, in Middleton, Lancaster by C. B. Pearson & Son, Architects, for which Price's involvement is unclear. Miscellaneous record files include an unidentified interior perspective drawing; office instructions for pre-planning considerations for large festival sites; drawings that illustrate the office working method; a summary of Australian work; a summary of current ideas, as well as, various unidentified projects. 'TRDG' appears as a variant title for Trog (DR1995:0234). 'Comstutt' and 'Stuttgart' appear as variants titles for 'Stuttgart Competition' (DR1995:0258). 'Placemark' appears as a variant title for 'Plaspot' (DR2004:1286). 'Boys House, Stowe School', 'Stowe Buckingham', and 'New Boys House, Stowe School', appear as variant titles for 'Treehouse' (DR2004:1293). 'New Aviary, Cap Benat' and 'Aviary Project - Cap Benat, France' appear as variant titles for 'Cap Benat Villa'. 'Platou - Oil Platforms' appears as a variant title for 'Oil' (DR2004:1299 and DR2004:1300). DR1995:0168:001-003 and DR1995:0169:001-008 are attributed to Fry Drew Drake & Lasdun, although Cedric Price appears as the draughtsman. Group DR1995:0173 contains drawings attributed to C. B. Pearson & Son, Architects. Group DR2004:1354 contains a site plan attributed to SAG Cook, RIBA, Borough Architect. Photographs in DR2006:0086 and DR2004:1276 in Early Work and Miscellaneous Records (AP144.S2.D1) are attributed to Charles B. Pearson & Son Architects. Simister and Sutcliffe are associate architects for the renovations at 41 Newport Street, Oldham (DR2006:0080).

Description:
Series 2, Software for producing the projection and narration, 2007-2008, is composed of ten different versions of the module that generates the projection and narration in the open gallery. Seven of the versions were among the files saved to a compact disc following the CCA exhibition and have been kept together as group ARCH275207. Three of the versions were on a hard drive that was used in Rovereto and comprise group ARCH275212. The core elements of each module are two application files. One of these, whose name begins with "VE1" uses parameters contained in a file called "config.txt". The other application file, called "VECalibration" displays the entire volume of the projected architectural space. The geometric parameters for a room are recorded in a separate image file called "ecan-angles.jpg". A readme file in each module explains how the different files interact with one another. It also identifies the version of the "VE1" application files and any issues that may be related to the version. Each module includes hundreds of Shockwave Flash files (.swf), each containing an animated or still image of a person or persons and/or one or more pieces of furniture. Some of the .swf files contain an image of one or more furnished rooms inhabited by one or more persons. In most versions, the config.txt file contains a URL that accesses the database containing the sensor data. The URL references the file "captorsxml.aspx". As mentioned earlier, the config.txt file also contains parameters for the projected image, including scene geometry, colors and space occupation, and lists of the .swf files for persons and objects. Most versions of the module also include twenty-one .mp3 files, one of which is "empty". The other twenty each contain an audio recording of a female voice that states values for temperature, illumination and relative humidity and narrates a scenario written by Alain Robbe-Grillet. There is a French- and English-language version of each scenario

Description:
The Project records from Mr. Koz series, 1996, consists of records produced by Seiichi Kozu of Studio KOZ, a local architect who managed the physical construction and installation of Denari’s show “Interrupted Projections” at Gallery MA in Tokyo, Japan. The series consists of 20 drawings and/or reprographic copies, 19 layouts, 16 slides, and a small amount of promotional material including three posters and one promotional pamphlet. Records date from 1996. For Interrupted Projections, in collaboration with Tokyo-based architect Seiichi Kozu (Mr. Koz) of Studio KOZ, Denari used traditional construction techniques to build a structure inside the gallery space that blended floor, wall and ceiling into a continuous curved surface. This surface displayed printed logos for fictional corporations, designed specifically for the exhibition. The majority of drawings and reprographic copies in the series relate to the construction of the principal architectural installation built on the third floor of Gallery MA. This includes plans and sections for the third floor, as well as working drawings that detail specifications such as dimensions, materials, layouts, and assembly techniques. The series also contains a set of five drawings that include first and second floor plans and sections of Gallery MA. The majority of writing on the drawings is Japanese, aside from one reprographic copy with third floor plans and sections that contains notes in English about elements of the installation such as lighting and the placement and size of fictional company logos. Photographic materials in the series comprise 16 slides that contain images of the built installation, as well as images of the exhibition open to the public, including slides of visitors interacting with the NaviCam. The series also includes printed layouts of the 3D digital renderings for the Interrupted Projections model alongside a pantone sheet, which were used as a reference during the construction process. Promotional material in the series includes three small posters for the exhibition, as well as a brochure that highlights selected works from the show.

Description:
The Project records from Mr. Koz series, 1996, consists of records produced by Seiichi Kozu of Studio KOZ, a local architect who managed the physical construction and installation of Denari’s show “Interrupted Projections” at Gallery MA in Tokyo, Japan. The series consists of 20 drawings and/or reprographic copies, 19 layouts, 16 slides, and a small amount of promotional material including three posters and one promotional pamphlet. Records date from 1996. For Interrupted Projections, in collaboration with Tokyo-based architect Seiichi Kozu (Mr. Koz) of Studio KOZ, Denari used traditional construction techniques to build a structure inside the gallery space that blended floor, wall and ceiling into a continuous curved surface. This surface displayed printed logos for fictional corporations, designed specifically for the exhibition. The majority of drawings and reprographic copies in the series relate to the construction of the principal architectural installation built on the third floor of Gallery MA. This includes plans and sections for the third floor, as well as working drawings that detail specifications such as dimensions, materials, layouts, and assembly techniques. The series also contains a set of five drawings that include first and second floor plans and sections of Gallery MA. The majority of writing on the drawings is Japanese, aside from one reprographic copy with third floor plans and sections that contains notes in English about elements of the installation such as lighting and the placement and size of fictional company logos. Photographic materials in the series comprise 16 slides that contain images of the built installation, as well as images of the exhibition open to the public, including slides of visitors interacting with the NaviCam. The series also includes printed layouts of the 3D digital renderings for the Interrupted Projections model alongside a pantone sheet, which were used as a reference during the construction process.

Synopsis:
The Mark Goulthorpe HypoSurface project records, 1990-2014, document the design development, technical implementation, exhibition, and marketing of various iterations of the HypoSurface wall. The wall has a “skin” divided up into pixel-like metallic facets manipulated by a network of actuating pistons in order to create images, texts and patterns in dynamic relief. Sensors allow people near the wall to influence its movement. The records include approximately 62,700 digital files, 3 folders of textual documents, and 44 prototype pieces, and a working HypoSurface wall module.

Description:
Series 1, Three Dimensional Trading Floor, 1990 - 2009, relates to Asymptote Architecture’s design of a virtualized NYSE Trading Floor that visualized real-time numerical and statistical data. This series includes textual, born-digital, and audiovisual components, as well as digital artefacts, and chiefly dates from 1997 to 2002. The intent of the New York Stock Exchange Three Dimensional Trading Floor (3DTF) was to detect suspicious trading activity, track the impact of global news events on the market and potentially predict a crash before it happened. In order to achieve this technically, Asymptote worked with Silicon Graphics Incorporated (SGI) RealityEngine hardware which had been built specifically for these visualization-intensive applications. They also worked with Softimage and Alias software for modeling, rendering and animating, and VRML (Virtual Reality Markup Language) and Macromedia Flash in order to integrate real-time data into a navigable three-dimensional environment. The main elements of the virtual environment include posts, containers, and back wall. The two container types, Index Container (IC) and Group Container (GC), allow for visualization and comparison of stock histories and behaviors. The posts display stock information, corresponding heat maps on floors, and alerts. The back wall integrates live news broadcasts. Materials in this series are largely digital and primarily include still raster images and video demonstrating 3DTF functionality. There is also a small body of CAD material in Maya, Alias, Microstation, and Form-Z formats. Other digital materials include Virtual Reality Markup Language (VRML) files, HTML files, Silicon Graphics Images databases, research material, press kits, presentations, and handout files. The textual records are largely materials that were handed out at presentation meetings for each phase of the project. These typically illustrate major virtual components of 3DTF, like the heat maps and posts, and overlap significantly with the related digital files. There is also one VHS tape which compiles nearly twenty minutes of animated renderings. Finally, this series includes 43 CDs. The CDs were processed and are included as part of the digital records; the CDs themselves were kept in instances where they may have artefactual value, especially if they were visually interesting or informationally important.
