Ahmedabad House
AP182.S1.2012.D1
Description:
File documents an executed project for a private residence in Ahmedabad, India. The house is constructed of concrete and earthen bricks, which were made on site and pressed from the dry earth excavated to lay the foundation. Courtyards act as semipublic "interior" zones and generate much-needed shade in the hot, dry climate. A pool lined in green marble provides additional passive cooling, and local trees planted around the house will also retain water as they grow. File contains photographs, models, and a video recording.

DR1987:0061
Description:
- This drawing is one of four drawings by Arata Isozaki for the "City in the Air" schemes of 1960-1963. Three of these drawings are studies for the "Clusters in the Air" project of 1960-1962: a sketch showing a general view of the project, DR1987:0117, a more finished version of the same view, DR1987:0062, and a three-stage sketch showing trees becoming a forest, DR1987:0116. The sketch of trees demonstrates the principal idea behind the "Clusters in the Air" project; enormous supports (trunks) support passageways (branches) to which living units (leaves) are gradually added. The trees develope side by side, with branches of different trees joining up, creating a "forest" (Isozaki 1992, 20-23, 29). The subject of this drawing is unclear although it is possibly a conceptual drawing for the Marunouchi Project of 1963, a proposal for a "City in the Air" in the central business district of Tokyo (Isozaki 1992, 27, 29). All four drawings are executed on sheets perforated with square holes for insertion into a spiral notebook.

Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the plan of the Trejo-Guadalporcún riverside, in Setenil de las Bodegas, Spain. The firm identified this project as number 163. The architects described their project as: “[…] a great public entertainment space, a beach which in one bank would accommodate the main tourist and citizen activity, and on the other bank, covering the terraced parking buildings, with bushes, flowers and trees would create an oceanic garden […]” (ARCH270975). Documenting the project are design development and presentation drawings, correspondence, and reference, photographic, digital and cartographic materials.
