Projet
AP144.S2.D93
Description:
File documents studies for temporary, moveable transportation exchanges. Three site-independent proposals are outlined for sea, land and air transportation: 'Dock Ahoy', a proposal for docks; 'Trucksafe', a truck park; and 'Air Portable', a limited-life airport. "The projects are concerned with finding flexible solutions to problems which occur when conditions change within a transportation network [...] the projects should be a further physical recognition of the value of short term toys." (Cedric Price, textual records). Preliminary design development drawings show plans for parking lot layouts for 'Air Portable'. Charts and graphs include aircraft and boat capacity studies, runway and cargo studies, and value/weight import graphs. Textual records contain correspondence regarding a possible exhibition of this material at the Walker Art Center in 1980. Some material from this file was published in 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 18, 31. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, and textual records.

Water Wall
AP144.S2.D94
Description:
File documents an unrealized project for a breakwater in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Cedric Price collaborated with civil and structural engineering firm, Harris & Sutherland, to make a floating breakwater into a 'sea garden'. The design integrates the breakwater, which protects the beach, with imaginative leisure activities: moorings for 800 boats, a pontoon composed of a continuous chain of dinghies, an illuminated "time" fountain, a floating grand stand, drifting feature buoys, a coral walk and water garden. Cedric Price describes the breakwater as "effortlessly towing its floating leisure facilities and toys along it" (Cedric Price-Works II, 72). Design development diagrams and charts explore the various components and activities. Many conceptual drawings and perspective sketches are included within the textual records. Some material in this file was published in 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 72, 77. Material in this file was produced between 1971 and 1989, but predominantly between 1973 and 1976. File contains design development drawings, presentation drawings, and textual records.

Description:
Sub-series documents competition entries and projects by James Stirling, and by the successive firms of James Stirling; Stirling and Gowan; James Stirling and Partner; James Stirling, Michael Wilford, and Associates; Michael Wilford and Partners; and Michael Wilford GmbH. Several projects were carried out in association with other architects, including Léon Krier, Walter Nägeli, and the firms of Giancarlo de Carlo and of Marlies Hentrup Norbert Heyer. A majority of projects were designed for London, England and other locations in England and Scotland, Germany and the United States. Other projects were designed for Italy, Iran, Japan, France, Algeria, Spain, Netherlands, Kenya, Qatar, Canada, Singapore and Switzerland. Material in this sub-series was produced between 1951 and probably 2004. The publication drawings for Stirling's projects were often drawn by Leon Krier, Russell Bevington, or Ulrich Schaad ('British Architecture Today', 1991). Sub-series contains reference drawings, conceptual and design development drawings, publication and presentation drawings and panels, and working drawings. It also contains photographic materials, textual records, models and artefacts.
