Les résines à base de formol qui composent le bois pressé sont un agent ignoré, mais pourtant fondamental, du foyer nord-américain et de son imaginaire au milieu du XXe siècle.

Projet
CI005.S1.1936.PR2
Description:
The competition for the design of the new Amsterdam Town Hall was held in 1936 and overseen by several jurists. Oud's submission was disappointing as his entry was criticized by a fellow jurist and he was not among the four finalist who were selected to modify their plans. Oud's entry in 1937 featured a court surrounded by three office wings, another office wing for the council chamber and a formal main entrance, as well as a tower in the courtyard (Taverne et al. 2001, 409-410). Project series includes photographs of plans for Oud's competition entry for the Amsterdam Town Hall.

Projet
CI005.S1.1950.PR1
Description:
The mediaeval Sint Laurenskerk was damaged in the May 1940 bombardment of Rotterdam. At the time, Oud sat on a committee that was dedicated to the preservation of historic buildings. His fellow committee members included A. van der Steur and J.C. Meischke, who proposed a design for the restoration of Sint Laurenskerk in 1948. Because of the high costs involved, Oud was opposed to the restoration effort; he instead proposed restoring the church tower and creating a different nave building with a green space in between the two. Although his plans met with some positive reviews, a modified restoration plan by Van der Steur and Meischke was ultimately implemented (Taverne et al. 2001, 453-456). Project series contains one plan by Oud.

Maison de Verre (1965, 1969)
AP197.S1.SS1
Description:
Located on 31 Rue St Guillaume in Paris, France, Maison de Verre was designed between 1928 and 1931 by furniture designer and architect Pierre Chareau, architect Bernard Bijvoet, and metal craftsman Louis Dalbet. Although the home was built, no original drawings exist for this project. In 1965, as Hodder Fellow at Princeton University, Kenneth Frampton along with Robert Vickery and Michael Carapetian measured the home and its details. Originally, their intention was that this research lead to a book project, but they later published their work as an article entitled "Maison de Verre" in a 1969 issue of Perspecta. This subseries includes measurement sketches and sixteen axonometric representations on vellum that were produced from this research. Photographs document Maison de Verre and provide various interior and exterior views of the house. Photographs by Michael Carapetian, published in the Perspecta article, “Maison de Verre (1969),” are also included in this subseries. Textual documentation includes drafts of the publication on Maison de Verre, as well as notes, correspondence, and various research files on Paul Nelson, Pierre Chareau, and Maison de Verre.
