Projet
AP207.S1.1985.PR01
Description:
The project series documents "Integrazioni" an installation by Pettena for the Expo Arte at the Galleria Megapoli in Bari in 1985. The installation consisted of a framed three dimensional 'picture' in which is placed two benches and a table, and perspective is added in with paint to give the impression of depth. "A picture that, for once, has a depth (so that you can enter it) is in fact a place, the place where names change, the place where natures change, the location of a shift between real and imaginary, a door opening onto a reality that is certainly imagined, but that you can pass through." [1] The project series contains sketches and photographs of the installation, and a leaflet from the Galleria Megapoli on the exhibition and the installations presented.

Donmar
AP144.S2.D53
Description:
File documents the unexecuted conversion of the Donmar rehearsal studio in Covent Garden, London, England, United Kingdom into an experimental theatre and late night meeting place. The client was the Fun Palace Trust ("Cedric Price Supplement", 'Architectural Design', vol. 40, (October 1970), 515) and negotiations for the conversion were undertaken with Donald Albery of New Theatre and Donmar Productions Limited. Movable platforms, furniture, and fittings were designed so that various seating and performance areas of different sizes could be created to accommodate a wide range of activities and entertainment of an impromptu nature. Survey drawings show the Donmar rehearsal studio and environs. Drawings for the conversion include plans, sections, axonometric projections, cutaway axonometric drawings showing the interior layout from two points of view, and conceptual sketches and perspectives of interior spaces in use. Axonometric drawings for fittings and furniture show platforms, a small stage, a chair/table, and a "conversation box". A drawing examines the sightlines of the converted interior by showing human figures in relationship with the movable units. Amended floor plans and sections show variations for the interior layout. Material in this file was produced between 1963 and 1964. File contains design development drawings and textual records.

AP179.S1
Description:
Series 1, Casa La Roca, Caracas, Venezuela, 1995 – 2001, documents the development of a project (unrealized) for a residential home situated among the hills at the southern edge of Caracas. The majority of records were produced between 1995 and 1997. The series consists of sketches, drawings and reprographic copies for the conceptual and design development phases of the project, a wood model and model pieces, photographs of the site, and textual records including correspondence and zoning records. The series also contains an oversized banner printed with an image of the model that was featured in the Fabrications exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1998, as well as plans for the show. The digital material in this series consists of an animated rendering of the brick patio wall and photographs of the physical drawings and the model for Casa La Roca. The name of the project, Casa la Roca (in English, “the rock house”), is derived from a large mass of rock that occupies the back of the property. The design utilizes the presence of the rock, in combination with sliding glass doors and windows, to create an “outdoor room” that functions both as a living space and back yard. The design also incorporates the nature of the site through the use of materials such as terracotta block, brick, and tile.
