Projet
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.

Projet
CI005.S1.1937.PR1
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.

Projet
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.
