PH1987:1059
Description:
- The group of 86 photographs PH1987:0996 - PH1987:1081 by Bernd and Hilla Becher show 75 views of steel mill blast furnaces and 11 views of mines. There are 45 views of steel mill blast furnaces in Germany, 15 in the United States, and five in each of France, Luxembourg and Belgium. There are five views of mines in Germany, two in Belgium, two in the United States, and one in each of France and Wales. - The group of 86 photographs PH1987:0996 - PH1987:1081 by Bernd and Hilla Becher show 15 views of steel mill blast furnaces in the United States including: three views of the Bethlehem Steel steel mill in Johnstown, Pennsylvania (PH1987:1054 - PH1987:1056); three views of the U.S. Steel steel mill in Youngstown, Ohio (PH1987:1038, PH1987:1057, and PH1987:1059); two views of the Sheet & Tube Co. steel mill in Youngstown, Ohio (PH1987:1060 - PH1987:1061); and one view each of the Republic Steel steel mill in Youngstown, Ohio (PH1987:1047), the Central Furnaces of the U.S. Steel steel mill in Cleveland, Ohio (PH1987:1039), the U.S. Steel Duquesne Plant in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PH1987:1040), the U.S. Steel Edgar Thompson Plant in Braddock, Pennsylvania (PH1987:1041), the Jones & Laughlin Steel Co. steel mill in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PH1987:1062), the U.S. Steel steel mill in Gary, Indiana (PH1987:1058), and the Bethlehem Steel steel mill in Sparrows Point, Baltimore, Maryland (PH1987:1037). - The photographers indicate that the group of six photographs PH1987:1054 - PH1987:1059 of views of blast furnaces should be exhibited in two rows arranged from left to right and top to bottom in numerical according to the photographers' inscriptions "N 1" through "N 6". Photograph PH1987:1054 would therefore be at the far left of the upper row, while photograph PH1987:1059 would be at the far right of the bottom row (Kicken Pauseback, 1987).

Project
CI005.S1.1933.PR1
Description:
The director of the Metz & Co interior design firm, Joseph de Leeuw, commissioned furniture designs from several prominent Dutch artists and architects, including Oud, Van der Leck and Rietveld. Oud's four chair designs were featured in the company's exhibition, "Steel Furniture in 1934." The chairs were made of steel frames; the third chair featured angular rear supports with sharp front angles adjoining the front, while in the fourth, the chair front and rear leg supports were crossed. Oud also designed four more chair types in 1934, including the 07 series, which received critical acclaim (Taverne et al. 2001, 375-377). Project series includes drawings of sketch perspectives of chairs, a sketch plan for a house and unidentified details, possibly for Metz & Co, as well as photographs of the chairs.

Project
AP207.S1.1995.PR01
Description:
The project series documents Pettena's research and study for the restoration and conversion of the Tonnara dell’Enfola, the promontory of the Enfola in Portoferraio, Italy. The project, on which Pettena worked from 1995 to 2000, was commissioned by the Parco Nazionale of the Arcipelago Toscano. The project included the restoration and conversion of the 18th century former tuna factory building into a museum and a theme park. The project was not realized as the general plan for the project is yet to be defined. The project series contains a complete set of plans for Pettena's proposal, including site plans, elevations, sections and floor plans, and a report on the project. The project series also includes contracts, cost estimates, project descriptions, handwritten notes (possibly by Pettena), correspondence and a list of work for the project. It also contains research material such as reference photographs and a set of reference plans for the building.
