Architectural projects
AP206.S1
Description:
The Architectural projects series, 1957-2007, records 82 architectural projects of Aditya Prakash throughout his career as an architect in Chandigarh, India. Most of these projects were completed with his daughter, Chetna Prakash, through his private practice, Arcon Architects, from 1982-2007. These projects include private residences, housing complexes, university campuses, schools, factories, theatres, sport and yoga centres, offices and furniture, among others. The projects include built work, competition entries and proposals, though it is not always clear which projects were realized. While many projects were located in Chandigarh, the series documents projects across northern India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The projects in this series were identified based on their unique locations and dates. Some projects, located at the same site, consisted of multiple buildings and were designed and/or constructed over long periods of time. The materials for projects like this are described together in one project series, instead of being separated out by building or time period. These projects are recorded largely through original drawings, which include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details, axonometric views and working drawings. However, materials for each project are sparse, often consisting of only 1-10 drawings. Textual records and photographs are also included in the materials for a few projects. The photographs show completed work, while the textual records primarily consist of client correspondence.

AP148.S1.1969.PR01
Description:
This project series features drawings and text, as well as collages on photographs, for a project entitled "Breve racconto di Architettura" by Poli. An inventory provided by Poli was used to identify the dates of these materials. The drawings and text seem to feature a journey on a highway (autostrada), or by plane, as all of the collaged images seem to be views taken from an airplane. These collages feature images of food and structures glued onto images of both rural and urban landscapes. References are made in the text to the Parco urbano Modena, possibly related to Poli's thesis project (see AP148.S1.1970.PR01), as well as to Roland Barthes, and "architettura invisibile".
