Description:
This series contains chronologically-arranged papers, photographs and drawings concerning Goldsmith's life from about the time of his enrollment at the Armour Institute in Chicago, to the mid-1950s when he returned from Europe to America to join Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. These documents are records of Goldsmith's early influences, and his education and training as an architect at the Armour Institute (later the Illinois Institute of Technology) and at the University of Rome. The papers also concern his service as an structural engineer in the U.S. armed forces, work in the office of Mies van der Rohe, and travels in Europe in the early 1950's all of which could be also considered as part of his education. The documents in this series are interesting for the quantity of Goldsmith's student sketches and research notes, including lectures by and observations on Mies van der Rohe and Pier Luigi Nervi. Moreover, correspondence, notes and photographs reveal a variety of other important influences on the young Goldsmith, such as a pilgrimage to visit Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesan East, and letters to Buckminister Fuller. Of particular interest are the papers concerning Mies van der Rohe as teacher, mentor and friend to Goldsmith. The fonds contains various documents from office files, including Goldsmith's notations on projects like the Farnsworth House, and collections of period photographs and blueprints of Mies' buildings and furniture designs. Related documentation on Mies exists in various files throughout the fonds, especially in the Mies van der Rohe Centennial Project located in Series 3: Professional Activities - Teaching. The last section in this series, Papers and Correspondence, which consists of personal and business papers dating from the late 1950's to the mid-1990's. This material includes the Goldsmith-Ferris Portfolio, a collection of 150 mounted photographs (possibly for an exhibition) that presents mostly Goldsmith's collaborative work with architect James Ferris, from the experimental projects in reinforced concrete in Rome to the Kitt Peak Solar Telescope of 1962. Also included are documents concerning Mies van der Rohe's Mansion House Square scheme as revived by architect Peter Carter (1982-84).

Architectural projects
Reference number:
AP166.S1
Description:
Series 1, Architectural Projects (1990-2012, predominant 1990-1996) contains files for seven projects developed by Shoei Yoh and the firm Shoei Yoh + Architects. Six of these projects were developed during the period 1990-1996 in Japan. The Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium in Imizu, Toyama Prefecture, Japan, is the most voluminous project file and is related to two other projects in the series—the Odawara Municipal Sports Complex and the Prospecta Toyama ’92 Observatory Tower. The Odawara Municipal Sports Complex and the Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium were developed at approximately the same time, and, for both projects, digital technology was used to calculate the dimensions of elements in a space frame roof structure. The Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium and the Prospecta Toyama ’92 Observatory Tower were both designed by Shoei Yoh for the 1st Japan Expo Toyama ’92 (JET ‘92) and each of the two project files contains some material related to the other. The Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium project contains CAD files related to the roof design, printouts from computer simulations of the roof, design drawings, presentation material, architectural and structural working drawings, models and textual records. The project file for the Odawara Municipal Sports Complex contains some design drawings--including printouts from computer simulations of the roof, proposal documents and some photographs of the site. The other built projects—the Prospecta Toyama ’92 Observatory Tower, the Glass Station, the Naiju Community Center and Nursery School, and the Uchino Community Center for Seniors and Children—are documented through drawings, models, and photographic material. The final project file in the series--a project for a tower in Taichung, Taiwan—is composed of a few presentation documents. Drawings in the series include hand drawings and printouts or photocopies of images created using digital design software. Apart from the CAD files related to the roof design for the Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium, digital material in the series is composed of still images in .jpg format related to the projects for the Odawara Municipal Sports Complex and the Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium. Some of the documents in .jpg format are duplicates of paper documents in the series.

Description:
Series 2, Software and related documentation, 1990 – 2014, contains unique iterations of the ACDC, Aegis, and HypoSurface software, and contains roughly 45,000 digital files. The bulk of the files date from approximately 2000 – 2001. This series chiefly consists of the materials received from Xavier Robitaille. This includes a virtual machine and DOS emulator for Aegis HypoSurface, as well as ACDC and Aegis Simulator software for Microsoft DOS and Win32 for Hyposurface installations. There is also a small amount of email correspondence in MBOX format between Robitaille, Mark Goulthorpe, and other project members documenting their work on the project. Additionally, there are two computer backups in this series. One is for Goulthorpe’s computer. The files from the disk image were carved out and only unique files were kept. It includes his files for the Aegis HypoSurface project and reflects his working environment. The second backup is a disk image of Paul Steenhuisen’s Mac G5 computer. The Mac G5 computer is a clone of an earlier G4, and is included with the archive to allow demonstration of the interactive logic that was developed through CeBIT, the International Manufacturers Technology Show (IMTS), and the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) conference at the Boston Convention Centre, including an interactive soundscape piece executed by artist Paul Steenhuisen. The G5 has a copy of FIELD, the user interface software developed for HypoSurface 2 and HypoSurface 3. The files from this computer were processed and made available in Series 3: Projects and events, and Series 4: Promotional materials. The disk image of the internal hard drive was retained in case future emulation is necessary. Because much of this series is software, roughly 42,000 files are or relate to executable programs. Formats for these materials are largely Java source code and Java object code, but also include HTML, plain text files, Aegis pattern files, and some unidentified formats. The remaining files in this series are chiefly vector and raster images referenced in the software. Notably, the Steenhuisen disk image is approximately 250 GB, and represents the largest part of this series. This series overlaps significantly with Series 3: Projects and events. This series contains software generally, while Series 3 contains any software related to a specific project or event.

Description:
Series 2, Software and related documentation, 1990 – 2014, contains unique iterations of the ACDC, Aegis, and HypoSurface software, and contains roughly 45,000 digital files. The bulk of the files date from approximately 2000 – 2001. This series chiefly consists of the materials received from Xavier Robitaille. This includes a virtual machine and DOS emulator for Aegis HypoSurface, as well as ACDC and Aegis Simulator software for Microsoft DOS and Win32 for Hyposurface installations. There is also a small amount of email correspondence in MBOX format between Robitaille, Mark Goulthorpe, and other project members documenting their work on the project. Additionally, there are two computer backups in this series. One is for Goulthorpe’s computer. The files from the disk image were carved out and only unique files were kept. It includes his files for the Aegis HypoSurface project and reflects his working environment. The second backup is a disk image of Paul Steenhuisen’s Mac G5 computer. The Mac G5 computer is a clone of an earlier G4, and is included with the archive to allow demonstration of the interactive logic that was developed through CeBIT, the International Manufacturers Technology Show (IMTS), and the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) conference at the Boston Convention Centre, including an interactive soundscape piece executed by artist Paul Steenhuisen. The G5 has a copy of FIELD, the user interface software developed for HypoSurface 2 and HypoSurface 3. The files from this computer were processed and made available in Series 3: Projects and events, and Series 4: Promotional materials.
