George Rohault de Fleury
CI001.S3
Description:
The CCA's Rohault de Fleury collection includes two of Georges' historical and archeological studies of medieval Italian architecture: 'Les Monuments de Pise au Moyen', 1866 (DR1974:028:001:066) and 'La Toscane au Moyen Age Lettres sur L' Architecture Civile et Militaire en 1400' 2 vols.,1874 (DR1974:0002:039 and DR1974:0002:040). 'Monuments de Pise au Moyen Age' is an atlas consisting solely of 66 prints of Pisan architecture, sculpture, and painting. The section on architecture is the largest, and is divided into three sections for the Lombard, Roman, and Gothic periods. The accompanying text, and an identical atlas of prints, is located in the CCA library. 'La Toscane au Moyen Age Lettres...' is a history of Tuscan civil and military architecture to 1400. The text is in the form of a fictitious correspondence between Raimond du Temple, a famous architect of the Louvre under Charles V, and his son Charles who is traveling through Tuscany. The text is accompanied by photomechanical illustrations, mostly sketches of scenes from bas-reliefs and manuscripts, and a few of built structures. The CCA library has two sets of a related publication entitled 'La Toscane au Moyen Age architecture civile et militaire' 2 vols. These earlier and larger publications are probably the source for some of the text and plates of 'La Toscane au Moyen Age Lettres...'. The introductory remarks, to 'La Toscane au Moyen Age Lettres..' and to the text (CCA library) of the 'Monuments de Pise au Moyen Age' are particularly informative as they provide an insight into Georges Rohault de Fleury's interpretation of historical periods of artistic renewal, decline, and decadence, and their didactic relationship to contemporary architectural and religious concerns.

Victor Adegbite fonds
AP231
Description:
This fonds documents the architectural career of Victor Adegbite from around 1949 to 2012. It records his university studies in architecture, teaching career at Howard University, architectural projects in Ghana and the US, his writing, and other personal interests. Beginning in the early 50s, Adegbite’s university studies at Howard University and Centro Interamericano de vivendas (CINVA) in Bogota, Columbia are recorded through drawings, notes, assignments, syllabi, books and ephemera, and some alumni communications from later in his life. His teaching as a professor at Howard University is also evidenced through course assignments, ephemera and course packs. Adegbite’s professional work in both Ghana and the US are also present in the fonds. Adegbite’s work in Ghana with the Tema Development Corporation is well documented in the fonds but the architectural work he completed in Ghana is mostly absent, with the exception of some photos of earlier projects and architectural drawings from projects in the 1980s and 1990s . The Tema materials consist of reports, papers and talks, correspondence, maps and site plans, reference materials on town planning and low-cost housing, ephemera and publications by the corporation. Adegbite’s architectural projects in and around Washington DC are well recorded through drawings. Projects include the Chancery of Ghana, Embassy of Zambia, many residences and housing schemes, restaurants, and storage facilities, among others. The majority of these US projects date from the 1980s and 1990s but a few are from earlier. Adegbite’s writing and professional involvement at conferences are also present in the fonds and there are several manuscripts including one on the development of Tema, a memoir on the development of Accra, and a family memoir by Victor and his wife Jennette. There are also some photos of Victor Adegbite and memorabilia he collected related to his career and accomplishments, as well as personal materials related to hobbies outside of work such as dance, sewing and guitar.
