Description:
The abbreviation "n.c.", which represents "no client", occasionally appears in the project descriptions. This indicates that the client is unknown for that particular project or that the project was initiated by Van Ginkel Associates. Throughout its practice, Van Ginkel Associates devoted much of its time to research and design projects that were generated and paid for by the firm itself. Several of these projects were initiated by members of the staff. Project drawings, because of the multi-disciplinary nature of the firm's work and the scale of some of its commissions, differ greatly in extent, content, format, and size. The drawings therefore have been kept in their original groupings. The original titles assigned to the material by the creators while stored in tubes was transferred to their present folders.

This project series documents Pettena's movie "Intens, Progetto d'Architettura", produced in 1971. The movie consists of a three minutes sequence of Pettena sitting at a drawing board while doing various things except working on a design.

An online version of the "Intens, Progetto d'Architettura" can be found on Gianni Pettena website (see https://www.giannipettena.it/italiano/opere-1/ff-intens-1971-1/).
