Projet
AP207.S1.1973.PR04
Description:
The project series documents "Progetto D'Architettura n. 5" a three fold performance carried out at the Milan Triennale in 1973. The first group performing were two musicians, one accordionist, Davide Mosconi, and one cellist, Marino Vismara, playing while walking around the large entrance at the bottom of the grand staircase of the Triennale building. The performers constantly bumped into each other as they tried to get the upper hand on the other. At the same time, a 'fire eater', Nunzio Salvago, spat out flames in the staircase. Finally, on the second floor at the end of the stairs, Pettena, using vibraphone mallets, hit the ceramic tiles of the entrance walls off of which the sound was amplified by contact with microphones installed beforehand. The performance was thought of as "an operation of the “reading” of physical space, of occupation of the whole of the environment, realized through sound [...]." The project series contains video recordings and photographs of the performance.

AP144.S2.D86
Description:
File documents a competition proposal by Cedric Price, in collaboration with Archigram, Per Kartvedt, and Tony Dugdale for a combined university / community centre, in Trondheim, Norway. The programme called for a congress centre, hotel rooms, sauna, and swimming pool. The final design proposal is described in the file: "Due to economy achievable in warming and ventilation through large scale air movements it was found possible to enclose 3 conventional partitions within an enormous 'greenhouse'. Giant snow sweepers on the roof combined with heated central 'open' swimming pools are additional artificial environment manipulators'. Conceptual sketches explore the development of the site in section. Relationships between areas are shown in color: "delight" in blue; "servicing" in yellow; and "escape" in orange. Drawings also include diagrammatic plans and sections. Many original conceptual sketches by both Cedric Price and Archigram are included within the textual records. Material in this file was produced between 1967 and 1974, but predominantly between 1972 and 1974. Some drawings and notes in this file are attributed to Archigram, Per Kartvedt, and Tony Dugdale. File contains design development drawings, presentation drawings, photographic materials, models, and textual records.
