Description:
This project series documents buildings for the Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology in Hisar, India around 2000. The project consisted of the design of many new campus buildings, including the Administrative Block, offices, Health Centre, student and employee hostels, professors' houses and VIP houses, the Teaching Block, cafeteria, library, and University Works buildings. The University, previously known as Punjab Agricultural University, was established in 1995 by the Haryana state government and had a campus that sprawled over 372 acres. By 2007, around 200 acres had been developed with buildings and landscaping. Prakash had previously worked on projects for this campus, formerly known as the Punjab Agricultural University, in the 1960s. This project series contains the records for three buildings: the library, the Health Centre, and the Sports Hall. The library was notable for it's round shape, large entrance arch and domed skylight ceiling. The materials also emphasize the development of a large mural in the library depicting the astrological signs. The Health Centre was a diamond shaped building with an outdoor courtyard at its centre. The Sports Hall was a rectangular building with a trussed roof consisting primarily of an open, multipurpose space. This project is recorded through drawings, photographs of the finished buildings, and textual records dating from 2000-2007. The drawings are largely originals and include plans, sections, elevations, perspectives and details. The textual records consist of correspondence and a brochure on the campus construction program.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Di Stefano residence located at 98 Tetherwood Boulevard in London, Ontario from 1987-1990. The office identified the project number as 8720. This project consisted of a V shaped house with a red brick masonry veneer and cedar shingles that was about 3300 square feet in size. From above, the two arms of the V appeared almost as separate structures, connected only at the front of the home by an entrance hall. However, the front facade of the home joined the two arms fluidly using a curved wall that matched the round street court in front of the home. One arm of the house was two storeys with a garage and kitchen on the ground floor and bedrooms on the second. This arm was shorter than the other but opened onto a patio in the backyard. The other arm contained the master bedroom and great hall on the ground floor and in place of a second storey, had a sloped roof with four chimneys. There was also a basement for storage, with future plans for a rec room and workshop. Several design schemes were investigated for this home, with variations on the floor plan layout, the shape of the house, the number of storeys, and the positioning of the garage and patio. The project is recorded through original drawings used for design and construction which date from 1987-1990. The large part of the drawings consist of sketches, plans, elevations, sections, details, isometrics and perspectives.

Description:
File documents Inter-Action Centre, a completed project for a community centre commissioned by Ed Berman and the Inter-Action Trust, for a disused site at Talacre Public Open Space in Kentish Town, Camden, London. The construction was divided into two phases. Foundations, steel frame and trusses were constructed first and could be used for open-air community events while funds were being raised for the second phase. Phase II included cladding, fittings, finishes, services prefabricated units, and log cabins. The building was intended as a flexible short life-span building in which the interior spaces would be independent of the roof and exterior walls. Functional areas suggested by Cedric Price include: assembly halls, classrooms, rehearsal rooms, studios, areas for performance, media resources, lounging and dining, and a gym and a nursery. Cedric Price had been engaged by the concepts of flexible architecture, indeterminacy, impermanence, and the fusion of information technology, entertainment, and educational activities in earlier unrealized projects such as Fun Palace (AP144.S2.D46) and Oxford Corner House (AP144.S2.D59). Existing conditions drawings include photographs of the site; reprographic copies of electrical and drainage systems; ordinance surveys of Kentish Town; and landscape and playground layout. Conceptual drawings include sketches of overall massing; diagrammatic plans; drawings and diagrams of site conditions; notes for the structural framework; rendered interior elevations; plans showing impact of site context on building design; diagrammatic sketches of relationship between functional requirements and structural form. Schematic drawings include diagrammatic plans; sections of structural system and exterior wall; cladding details; and axonometric views of supports. Design development drawings and working drawings include plans, elevations, sections, details and axonometric views. Presentation drawings include watercolours and other renderings; reprographic copies, possibly for publication; and perspectives drawings. Some material from this file was published in "Inter-action Centre." 'RIBA Journal'. (November 1977), 458-465; "Intervista A Cedric Price: London Interaction Centre." 'Domus'. (April 1978), 17-21; "Kentish Town West Amalgam, London." 'Architectural Record'. (January 1973), 19; Lyall, Sutherland. 'The State of British Architecture'. (London: Architectural Press, 1980), 107-109; 130 and 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 54, 62-63. Material in this file was produced between 1964 and 1992, but predominantly between 1970 and 1981. File contains technical drawings that are attributed to the following consultants, contractors, and manufacturers: Coseley Buildings Ltd; H.G. Deacon Ltd; Kayanson Engineers; H.J. Knights & Co. Ltd; Woodcemair; Metal Sections Ltd; Spaceway; Gascoigne, Gush & Dent (Engineering Ltd); UBM Engineering; J.

Starkie Gardner Ltd; Dibben Structural Engineers; Zisman, Bowyer & Partners; Felix J. Samuely and Partners; Ruberoid Contracts Ltd; Whitbread London Limited; and Portakabin. Paul Hyett and Will Alsop were Cedric Price's main assistants for this project. 'Inter-Action Trust Limited', 'Inter-Action Centre', and 'Talacre Centre Limited' appear as the client(s) at various stages of this project. File contains cartographic materials, conceptual drawings, consultant drawings, design development drawings, models, panels, photographic materials, presentation drawings, an illustration, textual records, and working drawings.
