On New Year’s Eve 1987, the people of Gonaïves, an impoverished port town on Haiti’s west coast, awoke to 4,000 tons of toxic ash. Amidst political turmoil in Haiti, officials had approved the import of toxic waste from the United States classified as “fertilizer.” In this case, the ash came from Philadelphia, which was facing a waste management crisis brought on by the(...)

Architect James Frazer Stirling’s work has resisted characterization because of its radical shifts in influence, named by others as prewar modernism to Neoclassicism, Rationalism and Brutalism to Postmodernism.

Sub-series
AP154.S1.1973.PR01.SS2
Description:
Sub-series AP154.S1.1973.PR01.SS2 Addition from Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg (2007) contains records donated by Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg in 2007. The sub-series documents interior design and renovation projects by Pasanella + Klein or Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg dating from approximately 1978 to 2007. Some of the projects in this subseries have been identified by Tom Stetz as being related to Article 26 of the 1980 lease agreement between the landlord Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America and the tenant Joseph E. Seagram and Sons. A copy of the lease agreement is present among the textual records of this subseries. Renovation projects documented in this sub-series include interior design projects for the 5th and 6th floors, proposed modifications for the "Picasso Alley" area, and unrealized schemes for an elevator and wheelchair ramp for the plaza. There are also some original drawings for furniture designs. The sub-series also inlcudes digital files containing font typefaces for the building's display alphabet. A substantial part of the subseries is composed of documents from the 1950 and 1960s that are related to the original design and construction of the Seagram Building. These documents include twelve rolls containing approximately 500 copies of working drawings from the period 1955-1963. The original design is further documented by a 1955 outline of specifications for work and materials.

AP181.S1.006
Description:
Original directory name: "05_Konsulenten". File contains records created and shared by COOP HIMMELB(L)AU and the various consultants on the project. These include PRO-Elektroplan GmbH, Bollinger+Grohmann, Dr. Pfeiler GmbH, Kersken + Kirchner GmbH., KBP Beratende Ingenieure GmbH, pbb planungsbüro balke, Ingenieurgemeinschaft BDP, a.g Licht, Realgruen Landschaftsarchitekten ,Lang + Burkhardt Verkehrsplanung und Städtebau, Emmer Pfenninger Partner AG, IB Rüdiger Schönenberg, Thomas A. Weisse + Partner. Bulk dates run from 2003-2006. Consultant expertise ranges from electricity, (electrical conveyor technology, Foerdertechnik) to structural physics (bauphysik), including open space planning (Freiflächenplanung), interior design (Inneneinrichtung), fire protection (Brandschutz), stage technology (Buehnentechnik), kitchen planning (Küchenplanung), facade engineering (Fassadentechnik), light design and planning (Lichtplaner), and solar panels for the roof. The records, largely plans, show the specific parts on which each of these consultants was working. The bulk of the records may be found under the “k_SSF_Ausführungsplanung/G_Pläne” directory which contains close to half of the records in this file. These are plans and views of the different areas and components of the BMW Welt building. These often include a CAD and a PDF version, some of which are annotated digitally or by hand prior to being digitized. CAD files include 2D drawings or 3D models, wireframes, screen captures, renderings, and plotter files. Records also include project management files, lists of the components of each room, engineering and analyses reports, many of which were digitized. Related to electrical and building engineering, there are a few databases in "c_PRO_Elektro_Foerdertechnik" and "b_KBP_Haustechnik". These contain information on the rooms and their technical requirements, such as equipment for plumbing, heat and ventilation, refrigeration systems, building automation, etc. Some database reports are also part of the records. Various sub-directories are named “quelldaten” (source data), which are typically zipped archives and often contain duplicate files. Duplicates were kept due to possible dependencies. Finally, the more than 7,000 plotter files across most directories suggest that printing physical copies of digital drawings for consultation was common practice. Early files (1997-2000) are AutoCAD Compiled Shape/Font File, AutoCAD Font Mapping Table, TrueType Font, and AutoCAD Colour-Dependant Plot Style Table. CAD files may depend on these to display drawings accurately. Most common file formats: Hewlett Packard Vector Graphic Plotter File, AutoCAD Drawing, Acrobat PDF 1.3 - Portable Document Format, Acrobat PDF 1.4 - Portable Document Format, ZIP Format
