Project
AP144.S2.D90
Description:
File documents an unsuccessful competition entry for the River Clyde Study & Ideas Competition, organised by the City of Glasgow, Scotland, for the rehabilitation of sections of the river bank. Cedric Price's entry proposed the conversion of existing coal yards and abandoned docks with a "metropolitan farm" including a food-growing complex, fish and hydroponic farms, and marketing facilities, along with a new public river transportation system. An existing conditions survey and a map show the docks and areas along the River Clyde. Design development drawings of diagrams and charts explore the various activities and the accommodation of each activity within the design limitations associated with it. Components of the plan are organized by activity type, location, and the amount of time required per activity. The activities shown include shopping, observation, gardening, employment, sports, and retraining. Other components of the plan are shown in detail: housing, the city farm, research center, a ferry and ferry stop, and a floating jungle. A diagram plots the travel time from the project area to various locations within Glascow. A public survey card monitors the project. One plan compares the size of this project site with other sites including that of Abu Dhabi Breakwater (AP144.S2.D94). Reprographic copies show regional relevance, and explore "test-bed" areas for activities such as forestry and agriculture. Some material in this file was published in 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 36, 39. Material in this file was produced between 1973 and1988, but predominantly in 1973. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, cartographic materials, and textual records.

Circlorama
AP144.S2.D51
Description:
File documents proposals for a portable circular cinema for Circlorama Theatres Limited, of London, England, United Kingdom. Thumbnail sketches show positioning of concrete bases; erection of the cinema, central tower, and trussed wall frames; and the installation of the radially-trussed roof, interior fixtures, and exterior aluminum cladding. Diagrammatic sections show alternate designs for the structure and structural systems. A flow diagram illustrates projected circulation patterns. Also included in the group are fabrication drawings for the cinema by various consultants which Price may have used for reference purposes. Material in this file was produced between 1962 and 1964. File contains drawings by the following firms: Lawrence Colebrook (Construction Equipment) Co. Ltd, Andrew Smith Harkness Ltd, Cotton Ballard & Blow Architects & Surveyors. File contains design development drawings and textual records.

X PHYLUM
AP176.S1
Description:
This series consists of all material related to the X PHYLUM project. These images offer an overview of the different stages of the project from development of the concept with algorithms and diagrams to conceptual and final drawings. All the images were created with Alias software through a Silicon Graphic Indigo workstation. The series contains mostly TIF files with a small amount of Drawing Exchange Format (DXF) CAD files, PhotoShop and Illustrator files represent the entirety of the digital Karl Chu X PHYLUM records.

McAppy
AP144.S2.D89
Description:
File documents a design programme undertaken for construction company, Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons Ltd., in London, England. The aim was to increase the efficiency of production and improve labour relations by producing enclosures, equipment, material, and information systems that would improve safety, on-site communication, and job satisfaction. Cedric Price's office produced 2 report volumes, a Portable Enclosures Programme (PEP) and used at least one construction site, at Angel Court, as a test site for the proposals. Diagrams and flow charts show preliminary planning and programming design decisions and show the relationship between present and future factors. A flow chart illustrates the scope of the program. Charts and diagrams map the relative time scale of parts of the programme over various development phases. An axonometric and cutaway drawing show the interior construction of a pedestrian walkway. Data showing both the projected and real results of a site test application of McAppy planning and equipment from 1974 to 1975 was collected and presented as a broadside. A large number of original drawings are included within the textual records. Material in this file was produced between 1955 and 1987. Zisman, Bowyer & Partners provided consultation services. File contains design development drawings, model, photographic materials, presentation drawings, and textual records.
