Project
CI005.S1.1921.PR1
Description:
German architectural critic, Adolf Behne, requested Oud submit a design for a private house that was to be built for private clients in Berlin-Grünewald in 1921. Although Oud's designs never came to fruition, the project promoted his international reputation, with his designs circulating in lectures and publications. Behn, who maintained a correspondence with Oud, helped introduce Oud to the international scene with a positive review of his designs, including one for Villa Kallenbach. Oud's design was in stark contrast to the prevailing contemporary German aesthetic of Expressionism. Oud created a functional symmetric design for a detached, spacious country dwelling; he placed the building toward the anterior of the site and angled the front away from the street to take advantage of the sunlight and garden space (Taverne et al. 2001, 312-317). Oud made some modifications based on the client's desire to enlarge the ground floor in February, 1922. Project series includes drawings of plans and elevations.

Sub-series
AP197.S1.SS3
Description:
This subseries documents Frampton's activities as Graham Foundation Fellow at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS), including the development and design of IAUS’s only built project, the Low-Rise High-Density (LRHD) housing project in Brooklyn, New York. Also documented in this series are some of Frampton's other activities for IAUS. Frampton was not only co-founding editor of IAUS's magazine, "Oppositions" (1973), but also served as an editor for all of IAUS's publications; their journal, book series, and catalogue series. IAUS also served as a cultural space that held lectures for highschool and undergraduate students. Materials in this subseries consist of elevation and site drawings for the LRHD housing project and photographic materials for MoMA’s exhibition on the LRHD. Textual documentation is comprised of IAUS’s original application to the Ford Foundation and drafts of Frampton’s writings on the LRHD as well as IAUS meeting minutes, IAUS by-laws, announcement pamphlets, booklets, IAUS research programs and outlines of seminar sessions, correspondence, postcards, and posters. The subseries also includes an IAUS watch.
