Reference number:
AP206.S1.1982.PR02
Description:
This project series documents an extension and additions to the Milkfed Punjab milk plant in Jalandhar, India from 1982-1985, governed by The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). This project consisted of an extension to the main milk plant, as well as the building of a garage, stores, service block, duty rooms and an addition to the administrative block. An orchard and covered bike area were also proposed. The main plant extension, used for the processing of butter and ghee, was multi-leveled with a primary height of two-storeys but reaching up to four storeys. Different schemes were proposed for the administrative block addition, one which showed a square building and the other showing a round building. The duty rooms, dotted with irregularly placed and sized geometric windows, had a roof that curled up at one end, opening to expose windows. The project is recorded through original drawings dating from 1973, which include plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details.

Description:
Cette série porte sur le travail de documentation photographique de Robert Duchesnay d'un des exemples construit du Dymaxion Dwelling Machine, à Wichita, Kansas, aux États-Unis. Le Dymaxion Dwelling Machine, concept conçu par Buckminster Fuller et considéré comme le précurseur du dôme géodésique, visait a créer un mode d'habitation donnant un maximun d'espace pour un minimum de coût et de matériaux. L'exemple du Wichita House est conçu par Fuller en 1945-1946. "L'apparence de cette machine à habiter ressemble quelque peu à une soucoupe volante. Avec sa peau externe en aluminium et ses fenêtres en plexiglass, elle offre un surface élégante et profilée, tout en renferman un espace au sol de 1100 pieds carrées." [1] Le Dymaxion Dwelling Machine est abandonné en 1970, pour être finalement acquise en 1990 par le Henry Ford Museum à Detroit, au Michigan. La structure est démantelé la même année avec l'aide d'un ancien collaborateur de Buckminster Fuller, Jay Baldwin. Le Dymaxion Dwelling Machine est toujours visible au Ford Museum. La série contient des photographies de la Wichita House avant et durant le démantèlement, brochures et feuillets du Wichita Art Museum présentant l'exposition de Robert Duchesnay sur le bâtiment, correspondance reçue par Duchesnay sur son projet de documentation des dômes géodésiques de Buckminster Fuller, et coupures de presse sur le Dymaxion Dwelling Machine et le démantèlement de la Wichita House.
