Description:
This project series documents the Casa Manuel Magalhães in Porto, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 29/60; in the past the office identified the project as number 119. The office assigned the dates 1967-1971 for this project. The project consisted of a concrete house located on Avenida dos Combatentes in Porto. There was no direct opening to the street and the building was surrounded by a cement wall. Client Manuel Magalhães commissioned the house as a rental home, but became personally involved during the construction and decided to move in with his family. In 2001, Siza designed an intercom for the house. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, plans, elevations, and details. Photographs, negatives, and slides document the site and building work. Textual documentation includes correspondence with the city of Porto, Manuel Magalhães and Fernando Teixeira Rodrigues.

Description:
The director of the Metz & Co interior design firm, Joseph de Leeuw, commissioned furniture designs from several prominent Dutch artists and architects, including Oud, Van der Leck and Rietveld. Oud's four chair designs were featured in the company's exhibition, "Steel Furniture in 1934." The chairs were made of steel frames; the third chair featured angular rear supports with sharp front angles adjoining the front, while in the fourth, the chair front and rear leg supports were crossed. Oud also designed four more chair types in 1934, including the 07 series, which received critical acclaim (Taverne et al. 2001, 375-377). Project series includes drawings of sketch perspectives of chairs, a sketch plan for a house and unidentified details, possibly for Metz & Co, as well as photographs of the chairs.

Description:
In 1934 and 1937, Oud created the interior designs for the private home of the director of Museum Boymans, Dr D. Hannema. In 1934, Oud designed the study and library of Hannema's home, including a remodelled fireplace and curtained bookcases. Oud also incorporated one of his Metz & Co chairs behind a wooden table, as well as built-in cupboards and another designed chair set before a writing table. In Dr Hannema's new home, in 1937, Oud was responsible for furnishing the entrance and staircase, designing two bookcases in the back room, and incorporating his own designs into the front room. In the front room Oud designed wooden bookcases and a living space that featured two armchairs and a coffee table (Taverne et al. 2001, 387-388). Project series includes photographs of the interior view of Hannema's first and second homes.

Description:
Vredenburg Square – originally designed by H.P. Berlage in 1919 – had become problematic for traffic congestion; the problem was compounded by the erection of the Jaarbeurs Exhibition Complex. Utrecht city council commissioned Oud to design a square with architect C. Wegener Sleeswijk. Oud modified Sleeswijk's original expansion plan to create a design for a twelve-storey tower block that would take up less space and open up the southeast side of the square. In addition to the Jaarbeurs tower, Oud suggested placing more emphasis on the square's entrance. Oud also modified the traffic routes and created a semi-circular facade across from a secretariat. Although the city council approved Oud's plan in 1951, his design was unrealized as the council ultimately commissioned another architectural firm's design (Taverne et al. 2001, 472-473). Project series includes plans for the Vredenburg development.

Description:
Oud was commissioned to design the Tweede Vrijzinnig Christelijk Lyceum. Oud designed the school within the larger parameters of the Reconstruction Plan for Sportlaan; he presented his design to the board in 1950. Oud's design aligned with reconstruction plans, except that he designed a four- rather than a three-storey building. Oud's layout featured three blocks: one for classrooms and an auditorium, another for classrooms, and the last one for a gymnasium – this building connected to the main wing by circular stairs. Each of the three separate blocks was surrounded by a playground. The street side facades were closed in contrast to the open facades facing the playground. Oud's design also featured visual art and sculptures (Taverne et al. 2001, 533-535). Project series includes plans and photographs of facades and aerial views. , 12 drawings 11 photographs

Description:
Oud was commissioned by the Bio Holiday Centre Foundation to create a rehabilitation centre for under-privileged children. While Oud was appointed as the sole project architect, he was advised by a committee of health care workers and a national construction advisory body, Bouwcentrum. Oud used the Bouwcentrum blueprint as a basis for his design. Oud's design featured pavilions, accommodation for 120 patients, staff accommodation, a sports building and a clinic. Ten pavilions were dedicated to children's accommodation. In Oud's revised plan of 1955, the main building, boiler house and sports building were prominently displayed and flanked by the pavilions. The boiler house/caretaker's dwelling were prominently positioned according to the client's wishes. Although Oud designed a chapel, it was not built (Taverne et al. 2001, 511-514). Project series contains a photograph of exterior view of the Bio Convalescent Centre

Description:
In order to better coordinate numerous war memorial committees, the Dutch national government instituted a Central Commission for War and Peace Memorials. The commission initiated a national monument project in 1946 with the direction of J. Henrick Muller, who chose Dam Square, Amsterdam, for its site. The existing plan drew on an existing municipal Amsterdam memorial. Sculptor John Raedecker designed a sculpture group supported by an obelisk and Oud was enlisted by Raedecker to create the memorial's spatial design for the sculptures and urns. Oud chose the memorial site opposite the palace in Dam Square. Despite pressure to change the site position, the committee submitted Oud's design and it was approved in 1950. The sculptures and monument were completed in 1956 with an opening ceremony held in May (Taverne et al. 2001, 457-460). Project series includes partial sections and plans showing sculptures by Raedecker.

Description:
This series contains records relating to Weaver, a software script developed by the Emergent Design Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and written in Maya Embedded Language (MEL) for Alias|Wavefront Maya. Weaver algorithmically generates woven strands and applies these strands to a surface within a 3D design model. The resulting weaves “can be complex, and depend on both the description of the weaver pattern and the topology of any user-defined surface or scaffolding in Maya on which Weaver is applied.”[1] The records in this series date from approximately 2001-2004 and include the script in Maya Executable Language (MEL) and standalone executable formats, annotated source code, tutorials, and file outputs such as images and Maya 3D models. Sources: [1] Testa, Peter and Devyn Weiser. “Material Agency,” in Network Practices: New Strategies in Architecture and Design. New York: Princeton Architectural Press (2007): 128.
