Marea [Thames Tides] (1974)
AP207.S1.1974.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the performance "Marea" presented as a conference given by Pettena to the Architectural Association of London while standing at the mouth of the Thames in London during the rising of the tide. Pettena's idea was to give "conference on the theory of architecture, pure, abstract theory, produced in a limited time, its length determined by the constraints imposed by changes in the physical environment." [1] The project series contains photographs of the performance showing Pettena standing in the water as the tide slowly rises.

Description:
The project series documents the urban planning project under the consortium “Chamartin Operation” for the extension of the avenue Paseo de la Castellana. The firm identified the project as number 153. “Abalos & Herreros developed the architectural consultancy for this ambitious project initiated by R. Bofill and nowadays its in time of adaptation to the urban conditions and the real conditions under the direction of J. M. Ezquiaga. The prime aim of [their] work consists of the establishment of the constructed typologies, the occupation models and the relation between public and housing space for searching a possible compatibility in an environment that soon will be seen as centric in the urban map of Madrid.” (ARCH270975) Documenting the project are conceptual and design development drawings, photographic materials, project descriptions, and notes.

AP027.S1.D68
Description:
Building in the North: A study of responses to the northern environment and of building experiences in northern climates. The study was published in two volumes: Building in the North, a study of building conditions and responses; and Building in the North II, a compendium of experiences in construction buildings and communities in the North. Mackenzie Pipeline: A study of the impact of a proposed pipeline from the Arctic up the Mackenzie River valley on the people and communities of the Mackenzie region. The commission included environmental, social, economic, construction and logistical considerations. An "Atlas of the Communities of the Mackenzie" was prepared and published by van Ginkel Associates and distributed to all communities and groups in the western Northwest Territories at an early stage of the study. The final published report is titled "Communities of the Mackenzie".
