Description:
The abbreviation "n.c.", which represents "no client", occasionally appears in the project descriptions. This indicates that the client is unknown for that particular project or that the project was initiated by Van Ginkel Associates. Throughout its practice, Van Ginkel Associates devoted much of its time to research and design projects that were generated and paid for by the firm itself. Several of these projects were initiated by members of the staff. Project drawings, because of the multi-disciplinary nature of the firm's work and the scale of some of its commissions, differ greatly in extent, content, format, and size. The drawings therefore have been kept in their original groupings. The original titles assigned to the material by the creators while stored in tubes was transferred to their present folders.

AP032.S4
Description:
This series contains material on publications and exhibitions concerning Goldsmith work and career. Papers and photographs record the creation of the book Myron Goldsmith: Buildings and Concepts, edited by Swiss architect Werner Blaser and published by Rizzoli Publications in 1987. The updating of Goldsmith's theoretical views are apparent in the manuscript drafts and revisions of his two essays for the book - "The Effects of Scale," reworked from his I.I.T. master's thesis, and the newly composed "Structural Architecture." This series also contains documents concerning retrospective exhibitions on Goldsmith originating at Harvard University (1982), and at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (1991). This material includes papers, correspondence, exhibition panels and wall text panels. The inclusion of periodicals and clippings on the architect's work, and the work of his students, supply a good bibliographic background on the architect.

Projet
AP148.S1.1967.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Poli's contribution to the competition entry for the restoration of a 16th century fort in Florence, the Fortezza da Bassa and its transformation into a National Centre for Arts and Crafts. This competition design was a Superstudio project led by Adolfo Natalini, reflecting the group's interest at the time in architecture on a "monumental' scale" (Lang and Menking, 2003, 100). Project material consists of study sketches in coloured pencil and graphite, many with annotations, and a page of typed notes, also with smaller sketches. Poli's sketches and notes seem to focus on designs for the entrance to the fort -- "ingresso alla Fortezza" -- and the movement of spectators into the fort. The typed notes and some sketches suggest the idea of a pinball machine with flippers and multi coloured lights lighting up a path.
