DR1995:0179:001-008
Description:
- This group of drawings are for a "truck transportable week-end house to be located on a beach in North Wales, UK" ('Architectural Design', 511). Accordion-shaped extendible boxes with cross bracing are designed to be pulled out by car from a fixed central core onto structural rail sections leveled on jacks. The fixed central core consists of living, dining, kitchen and bathroom facilities. Four extendible boxes house additional sleeping quarters along with a carport and a dock which is shown extended out into the water. Two sketches have apparently been redrawn from originals by Cedric Price in order to clarify ideas for publication in 'Architectural Design', (May 1970) (DR1995:0179:007 - DR1995:0179:008).

DR1967:0010:001
Description:
- The two halves of this drawing show alternate stage sets from which the patron could make his choice. It is unclear whether this design was for a painted trompe-l'oeil stage backdrop and/or a constructed stage set. The deep unified space of the architectural interior and low vanishing point of the central landscape indicates that this part of the drawing is probably intended to be a painted trompe-l'oeil, however, the inscribed scale suggests that some of the architectural elements may have been constructed (Fuhring, 161 and 570). The prickings indicate that the overall design was intended to be executed. A crown above the central cartouche in drawing DR1967:0010:002 which is probably by the same hand, indicates a possible royal connection.
