Description:
In 1993, the CCA invited Peter Eisenman to design an installation for the exhibition 'Cities of Artificial Excavation: The Work of Peter Eisenman, 1978-1988'. The exhibition was presented at the CCA from 2 March to 29 May 1994. The drawings and models of this group document the development of Eisenman's installation design from late 1993 through March 1994, as well as the various processes used by the architect in his investigation of the 'Cities of Artificial Excavation'. Material in this file was produced between 1993 and 1994. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, installation drawings, measured drawings, presentation drawings, publication drawings, record drawings, textual records, and models. Documents by Eisenman's office include material for schemes A and B, the first and second proposals for the installation, as well as material for the exhibition installation. Material for scheme A includes conceptual drawings (DR1994:0030:001-005), hardline design development drawings (DR1994:0030:006-011), design development computer-aided drawings (DR1994:0030:012-027), and fully developed drawings (DR1994:0030:028-034). Material for scheme B, a design which is closer to the final project, includes hardline drawings (DR1994:0030:035-044) and computer-aided drawings (DR1994:0030:045-069). Material for the exhibition installation includes: computer-aided drawings (DR1994:0030:070-196), which were generated to construct models for the installation, notably a preliminary model (DR1994:0035) and the final model (DR1994:0036), which was used for planning the exhibition layout; hardline drawings which are the final drawings for the installation (DR1994:0030:262-265); a preliminary exhibition layout (DR1994:0030:280); and Iris colour prints of computer-aided conceptual axonometrics (DR1994:0030:281-282). Three working models show different stages of the design development (DR1994:0031 - DR1994:0034). File contains photographs of the completed installation by Richard Pare (DR1994:0037:001-028), fragments of the installation preserved after its demolition (DR1994:0038:001-0028) and paint samples (DR1994:0038:035-037). File contains Cities of Artificial Excavation exhibition Catalogue Cover Design layouts and trial proofs. This group of material by Eisenman's office includes freehand drawings and collages for early proposals for the cover (DR1994:0029:001-003), ink drawings on Mylar of the floor plans of the four principal projects presented in the exhibition traced from diazotypes (diazotypes: DR1994:0029:014-019; ink drawings: DR1994:0029:004-010), and Iris colour prints of computer-aided drawings which Eisenman's staff used to test different colour schemes (DR1994:0029:020-030). Offset prints for the cover proposing different colour schemes were used to select the cover design used for publication (DR1994:0029:036-039).

Description:
Series 1, Software for collecting, formatting and storing data from the sensors, 2000-2008, is composed of four groups of files. Three of the four groups appear to represent different versions of a module that collects data from the sensors, writes the sensor data to XML format and transmits the data to a Web Server. The remaining group (ARCH275240) is composed of files whose purpose has not been identified. Files in this series were created between 2000 and 2008 but predominantly between 2006 and 2008. ARCH275099 is a group of files that were originally saved to a compact disc following the CCA exhibition. The data on the compact disc was organized and interpreted by the person or persons who compiled it. The original directories have descriptive names and the data is accompanied by instructions in a readme file. This is a selection of the files from the compact disc; other files from the disc can be found in Series 2. Groups ARCH275106 and ARCH275201 are composed of files that were selected from two of the hard drives that were returned to the CCA after the exhibition in Rovereto. The content of the hard drives included the selected files as well as system files and other data that was not retained in the archive. The two groups have some similarities in content and file structure and they both have some content that is similar to that of ARCH275099. Group ARCH275106 additionally includes ZiLOG development software and a "CCA Trident program" copyrighted by Scenethetic Inc. The modules in groups ARCH275099, ARCH275106 and ARCH275201 were developed in part by CCA information technology staff.
