Résumé:
The Jean-Louis Cohen fonds, 1968 – 2023, documents the projects and activities of historian, curator, professor, and architect Jean-Louis Cohen (1949 – 2023). Cohen’s research focus was largely modern architecture and transnational architectural exchange, particularly between and among the United States, Europe, and the former Soviet Union in the 20th century. Through physical and digital records, this fonds documents his academic, publishing, and curatorial work along with his professional activities within architectural research and heritage organizations, as well as his architectural practice.

Projet
CI005.S1.1915.PR1
Description:
In 1911-1913, the Hostel for Lower Naval Personnel was designed by architect Piet Kramer, a building for which Oud claimed that he created competition designs. Researchers, however, do not support this claim as Oud's designs are dated 1915. Oud's plans feature a lounge and off-centre entrance and staircase, as well as a reading room for a convalescent hospital for soldiers. Oud's designs feature a geometrical composition based on a system of triangles. The designs were considered stylistically significant and displayed in the 1917 Sphinx "International Exhibition" (Taverne et al. 2001,107). The series includes photographs of the competition design floor plans and elevations.

AP041.S1.1967.D2
Description:
This project series documents a submission for a design competition commissioned by the Government of Canada for its pavilion at the 1970 World Exposition in Osaka, Japan. Fashioned from construction cranes and scaffolding, Melvin Charney's submission (in collaboration with Harry Parnass and Janos Barancs) garnered significant interest and media coverage, and served as a turning point away from traditional architecture practice towards public art. The competition was won by architect Arthur Erickson. Material includes presentation drawings, a photograph of the no longer existant model, and competition documents including correspondence and a copy of the competition programme.

CI005.S1.1926.PR1
Description:
In 1925 committee members from trade, shipping and commerce, in partnership with Rotterdam city council, initiated the competition for the design of a new stock exchange building. The jury consisted of three architects, as well as two members of the Exchange committee. Oud's submission to the Rotterdam Exchange competition included designs for the new building and surrounding urban area, although his entry was unsuccessful. Oud created a functional and non-symbolic design based on a three-dimensional grid (Taverne et al. 2001, 350-354). Project series includes drawings of plans for the exchange as well as photographs of the drawings.
