Description:
The Netherlands Congress Centre owed its genesis to architect-town planner, W.M. Dudok, who suggested creating a cultural centre for international conferences. In 1956 an ad hoc committee proposed the creation of a congress centre and invited Oud, in 1956, to design a centre that would incorporate a 3000 seat conference hall as well as other rooms for functions and events. Oud created a detailed design in 1958 that featured a seventeen-storey tower with hotel rooms. Oud amended his plans somewhat, creating an oval-shaped conference hall. In 1960 Oud further revised his design to reduce the main hall seating to 1500, and also designated it for use of theatrical events. Oud died in 1963 before the completion of construction. He was replaced by his son, Hans Oud, until the congress centre was erected in 1969 (Taverne et al. 2001, 544-546). Project series includes plans for the Congress Hall Complex.

Description:
Villa Allegonda was originally built by architect, H.J. Jesse, in the early 20th century before being remodelled by Menso Kamerlingh in 1916-1917. The villa was further renovated in 1927. The villa was one of three summer houses that Jesse built in the dunes of Katwijk aan Zee: Oud assisted with drafting and providing technical advice for the third villa, Villa Sigrid, in 1916-17. Oud worked in partnership with Menso Kamerlingh Onnes. Oud also coordinated the contribution of artist friends and chose the colours. In the second phase of design, Oud contributed to remodelling the villa windows and pillars and designing furniture. Exhaustion caused him to resign in 1928 (Taverne et al. 2001, 127-132). The project series features drawings for different phases of the project, including drawings of the 1917 design and 1931 furniture designs. The series also includes photographs of exterior and interior views of Villa Allegonda and furniture items.

CI005.S1.1921.PR1
Description:
German architectural critic, Adolf Behne, requested Oud submit a design for a private house that was to be built for private clients in Berlin-Grünewald in 1921. Although Oud's designs never came to fruition, the project promoted his international reputation, with his designs circulating in lectures and publications. Behn, who maintained a correspondence with Oud, helped introduce Oud to the international scene with a positive review of his designs, including one for Villa Kallenbach. Oud's design was in stark contrast to the prevailing contemporary German aesthetic of Expressionism. Oud created a functional symmetric design for a detached, spacious country dwelling; he placed the building toward the anterior of the site and angled the front away from the street to take advantage of the sunlight and garden space (Taverne et al. 2001, 312-317). Oud made some modifications based on the client's desire to enlarge the ground floor in February, 1922. Project series includes drawings of plans and elevations.

Description:
Construction for the transatlantic ocean liner, S.S. Nieuw Amsterdam – an initiative of the Holland-America Line – began in 1936 and was completed by May 1938. After the death of a leading figure of the Brinkman & Van der Vlugt architectural firm, the director of the Holland-American Line contracted the interior design to several architects, each working in partnership with artists. Oud was responsible for designing the First Class Swimming Pool and Second Class Tourist Lounge and Smoking Room. Oud outfitted the Second Class lounge with a rug, wooden furniture and a parquet dance floor; at one end of the room he set a stage, grand piano, and projection booth. The Smoking Room featured cork floors, panelled walls and a long reading table. The Smoking Room featured club chairs in brown leather and wooden chairs (Taverne et al. 2001, 389-392). Project series includes plans for the Tourist Lounge, and photographs of its interior.

Description:
In 1937, the Bataafsche Import Maatschappij (The Batavian Import Company), established a building programme for new headquarters within The Hague. The company wished to create office space for 600 employees. The company invited competition entries from four architects, including Oud. Oud's design was approved in 1939 and included a rectangular block of rooms oriented around a central corridor with office spaces separated by partitions. The building was surrounded by a garden. Oud also created designs for a possible future expansion and later designed office furnishings. While construction was interrupted by the war, the company proceeded with minimum construction until its restoration and continued expansion. Oud assisted with restoration after its bombing by Allied forces in 1945. The erected building was criticised for its traditional decorative patterns (Taverne et al. 2001, 411-414). Project series includes plans for the Shell Building, as well as a photograph of the building facades and one of the furniture.

Description:
In the early 1900s, Hofplein became problematic for its traffic gridlock. In 1942 Allied bombing demolished some of the area's surrounding buildings and paved the way for re-planning. Architect W.G. Witteveen proposed a reconstruction plan, as did J.A. Ringers, but Oud subsequently was delegated as supervisor of the Hofplein reconstruction plan with Jos Klijnen as architect. Oud's proposal was drawn up by 1943. Oud planned to divide Hofplein into three parts, including a circular traffic loop, an oval entertainment plaza, and an outdoor space with a café. He also proposed replacing an older tower building with a new town hall. Witteveen proposed an entirely different design and was unable to reconcile Oud to his plan; however, the city adopted an entirely new plan that was favoured by influential Rotterdam businessmen, one designed by Witteveen's assistant (Taverne et al. 2001, 429-432). Project series includes drawings of site plans for Hofplein as well as photographs of perspective drawings.

This project series documents the Recupero del Palazzo Donnaregina / Museu de Arte Contemporâneo in Napoli, Italy. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 55/00. The office assigned the date 2003 for this project. The Palazzo Donnaregina was built during the 19th century and served multiple functions during his history, including a bank and a school of administration. In 2001, the building was abandoned after a flood. In 2005, the Campania Regional Government bought the building and leased it to the Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporane. Àlvaro Siza and the Studio DAZ-Dumontet Antonini Zaske were selected to renovate and repurpose the builsing into a contemporary art museum. The museum included exhibition halls, a library, a bookshop, and a mediatheque. The project was realized. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, design development drawings, plans, and details. Textual material includes project documentation, catalogs from suppliers, and correspondence. Photographic material documents Siza's visits, project site, and construction work.

The project series documents the design for a residential tower for youth in the district of Sant Andreu, Barcelona. The design was for the account of the City Council and the Patronat Municipal de l'Habitatge. The promoter REGESA, Societat Urbanística Metropolitana Rehabilitació i Gestió, worked with Abalos & Herreros for this project that was never built. The project site was located between the streets Ferran Junoy, Tucuman and Borredà, nearby the shopping center La Maquinista. The firm identified this project as number 152. Records document first and second iterations of the design for the tower, primarily differentiated by the base of the building. The first design includes a rectangular base. The firm identified this iteration of the project as number 152-1. The second design of the tower includes a triangular base for the building. The firm identified this iteration as number 152-2. Documenting the project are conceptual, design development, presentation and working drawings, cartographic, digital and reference materials, project descriptions, correspondence, proposals, budgets, notes, agendas, contracts, invoices, trade catalogues, and paper models. Records predominantly date from 2001 to 2007.
