Sheffield Festival
AP144.S2.D61
Description:
File documents an unrealized project for the Sheffield Festival which was organized by the University of Sheffield Union of Students, in Sheffield, England, United Kingdom. An early proposal by Feliks Topolski and Cedric Price called for lightweight and movable gem-shaped enclosures of metal tubing, and fibreglass panels to be illustrated by Topolski. Later proposals involved the participation of Richard Hamilton, Robyn Denny, Bernard Cohen, and Joe Tilson. Material in this file includes conceptual sketches, detail sketches of support system, reprographic copies from original drawings, and photographic views of a model. Some material in this file was published in Price, Cedric, with Peter Murray. 'The Second Instalment in the Cedric Price Supplement Series', 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (January 1971), 38. Feliks Topolski and Cedric Price also collaborated on a later project (see Topolski/Waterloo AP144.S2.D88). Material in the file was produced between 1964 and 1968. File contains conceptual drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.

DOE Air Structure
AP144.S2.D91
Description:
File documents work undertaken by the Lightweight Enclosures Unit (LEU) for the Department of the Environment (DOE), to produce a Draft for Development Code of Practice for Air Supported Structures (DD50) for general use by industry. The project was carried out by Frank Newby and Cedric Price, and includes some of the initial research originally carried out for Air Structures (AP144.S2.D63) and Lightweight Enclosures Unit (AP144.S2.D79). They developed and circulated a questionnaire on behalf of DOE, dated August 1973. The Draft for Development was produced on behalf of British Standards Institution (BSI) for PSA (Property Services Agency) of the Department of the Environment (DOE). Material in this file was produced between 1951 and 1993, but predominantly between 1965 and 1975. Group DR2004:0168 contains material by Ant Farm. Groups DR2004:0170 and DR2004:0172 contain materials that relate to Frei Otto. File contains samples, design development drawing, photographic material, and textual records.

Port Eliot
AP144.S2.D66
Description:
File documents an unexecuted proposal for the long-term redevelopment of Lord Eliot's estate in Port Eliot, St Germans, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Cedric Price's objective was "to increase the enjoyment and delight of the total property while in no way reducing its effectiveness as an agricultural unit" (Price with Murray 1971, 27). Drawings include site plans and plans of the existing house, and design development drawings for the estate, which locate woodland areas, a viaduct, a tidal estuary, and important views from the house. Renovations to the existing house are indicated on some of the drawings. Some material from this file was published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 2", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (January 1971), 27. File also contains material for a later executed design for a garden maze. Material in the file was produced between 1903 and 1991, but predominantly between 1966 and 1980 and between 1983 and 1987. File contains a conceptual drawing, design development drawings, reference drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.

AP018.S1.1980.PR09
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of an office building and its signage for Marathon Realty in Toronto at the corner of York and Front Streets from 1980-1984. These materials are arranged under two project subseries based on the project numbers assigned by the creating office. The project numbers assigned were 8009 and 8009-8214A. The first subproject consisted of the design and construction of the office building (see project subseries AP018.S1.1980.PR09.SS1 for more detail) and the second subproject documented the installation of signs to the top of the building (see project subseries AP018.S1.1980.PR09.SS2 for more detail). This building, originally owned by Marathon Realty, became known as University Place and would eventually become the headquarters of CitiBank and be renamed Citigroup Place. The materials refer to the building primarily as University Place. These two subprojects are recorded through drawings, photographic materials, textual records and material samples dating from 1980-1987.
