AP207.S2.SS10
Description:
The sub-series documents the exhibition and the related publication "Olmsted: L'origine del parco urbano e del parco naturale contemporaneo" curated by Pettena. The exhibition was presented at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, in 1996. The exhibition, dedicated to American landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, is the result of several years of Pettena's research on landscape architecture and how urban parks symbolized social changes in the second half of the 19th century. This sub-series contains research material such as notes by Pettena, information on Olmsted's landscape projects, publications on Olmsted, and leaflets and ephemera from other exhibitions or events on Olmsted. The research material also contains correspondence of Gianni Pettena with experts on Olmsted or with the Frederick Law Olmsted Association. Also included, are documents related to the planning and the production of the exhibition and the related publication, such as correspondence, exhibition programs, strategic program, summaries of the exhibition's themes, object lists, and budget and draft texts for the publication.

AP144.S2.D108
Description:
File documents an unsuccessful entry in an invited competition for a mid-rise office building for approximately 250 employees in Brühl, near Cologne, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The building was intended to serve as the headquarters for the German lock company DOM Sicherheitstechnik GmbH & Co. KG. Conceptual, schematic and design development sketches and drawings include isometrics and perspectives showing early ideas for the building's massing; schematic floor plans showing horizontal and vertical circulation paths throughout the building; diagrammatic plans indicating how people by car, foot, or bicycle would enter the building; diagrammatic sections showing the relationship between functional areas; and plan obliques of functional areas for square footage calculations. A panel composed of sketches with text and annotations describes Price's concept and the building program. Design development drawings also include floor plans showing circulation patterns, elevations showing the exterior stainless-steel cladding, isometrics showing the relationship between floor levels and functional areas, and perspectives which were possibly used to develop the overall massing of the building. A set of four panels numbered 2 through 5 depict floor plans, elevations, and sections from another project, Steel House (AP144.S2.D60). One presentation board is a collage composed of four coloured photographs of the working design models. Reprographic copies were made from the original design development drawings, and some of them are coloured with markers and annotated. Material in this file was produced in 1980. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation panels, other panels, presentation models, photographic materials, and textual records.

Lehigh Airports Competition Entry: Detail for airport plan showing airplane circulation pattern
DR1987:0348
Description:
- This detail shows the lower right corner of the airport, including the amphibian landing and station complex. The drawing is part of a series of eight drawings in which the architect works out the circulation route of taxiing airplanes, both incoming and outgoing by sea and by air, and particularly how they will pick up and deposit passengers at the station (DR1987:0347 - DR1987:0349, DR1987:0352 - DR1987:0354, DR1987:0358 and DR1987:0390).
