Series
AP082.S1
Description:
The series “Project for a Universal Headquarters Building, Universal City, Los Angeles County, California (1995-1999)” documents an unexecuted project by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) and collaborators for a Headquarters Building for Universal Studios at the Universal City site in Los Angeles County, California. The first two years of the design process (1996-1997) are documented by about 500 drawings, over 150 small-scale study models, 105 presentation panels, two flip-books, and a few proposals—including a book illustrating “a day in the life” of the building. Three proposals in the series were produced by OMA or by the engineering firm Ove Arup & Partners at the end of the schematic design phase of the project (March-December 1997). The design development phase of the project (August 1998-July 1999) is documented by a progress report produced for the “50%” stage and project manuals produced for the “60%” and “100%” stages. The series includes a set of reproductions of architectural, structural and mechanical drawings produced at the 100% design development stage together with concept drawings for interiors. Materials produced for a final design development presentation in July 1999 include a book and a large-scale (1:50) presentation model. The series also includes prospectuses and pre-construction proposals from contractors, some graphic design samples, technical reports-- including a ground motion study and a report on wind tunnel tests, and a preliminary furniture budget.
