Project
AP164.S1.2000.D9
Description:
The project series documents the competition entry and infrastructure development of the northeast coast park (Parque litoral nord-est, Barcelona Forum 2004, Sant Adrià de Besòs) and adjoining recycling plant (Edificio de oficinas y planta integral de RSU) in Santa Adriá de Besòs, Barcelona, Spain. The firm identified this project as number 133. The competition was organized by the Barcelona City Council and was part of a larger plan to develop new infrastructure for Barcelona, as the Host City for the International Forum of Cultures held in 2004. A number of architects and firms were involved in other projects related to the infrastructure plan, like the South East Coastal Park & Auditoriums by the Foreign Office Architects (See AP171.S1.2000.D6). The park included several other features, like the design of urban furniture (Pep and Xurret benches, and a fence), an artificial mountain, a youth hostel, a small security building and a pier. Only the park, the artificial mountain and the benches were built. The firm arranged work for this project with the following numbers: 133-1, 133-2, 133-6 to 133-8, and 133-10. The CCA did not receive materials classified under numbers 133-9 and 133-11. The recycling plant includes, among other things, office space, an ecomuseum, and a garden. Abalos and Herreros won the competition for design, construction and exploitation of the plant. The firm worked in collaboration with the firm Tersa, S.A. The firm assigned numbers 133-3 to 133-5 to identify this work. Documenting the project are design development and working drawings, correspondence, invoices, minutes, project descriptions, studies, budgets, contracts, reference, photographic and digital materials, and a videocassette.

PH1983:0485
Description:
Portfolio of photographs showing cast-steel muzzle-loading guns and artillery, fortress and siege mortars, coast and landing guns, workshops, machinery and company products, manufactured by the Krupp armament plant in Essen/Ruhr river valley (in Prussia). This portfolio shows different models of guns and canons, locomotive wheels, exterior views of the factory with large chimneys and line-ups of workers, a panorama showing the factory complex and dwellings built for the workers, mines, inside views of the factory with machinery and two maps : one of the layout of the grounds that is colour-coded to indicate growth between 1861 and 1871 - Rhenish Prussia (Rhein provinz), and one of the world distribution of Krupp representatives - District of Essen, Europe, Germany and the World. This portfolio was compiled and probably sent, like many others by the company, to Krupp Cast Steel Works agents throughout Europe or used as a presentation catalogue for international expositions.
