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.

AP197.S1.SS3
Description:
This subseries documents Frampton's activities as Graham Foundation Fellow at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS), including the development and design of IAUS’s only built project, the Low-Rise High-Density (LRHD) housing project in Brooklyn, New York. Also documented in this series are some of Frampton's other activities for IAUS. Frampton was not only co-founding editor of IAUS's magazine, "Oppositions" (1973), but also served as an editor for all of IAUS's publications; their journal, book series, and catalogue series. IAUS also served as a cultural space that held lectures for highschool and undergraduate students. Materials in this subseries consist of elevation and site drawings for the LRHD housing project and photographic materials for MoMA’s exhibition on the LRHD. Textual documentation is comprised of IAUS’s original application to the Ford Foundation and drafts of Frampton’s writings on the LRHD as well as IAUS meeting minutes, IAUS by-laws, announcement pamphlets, booklets, IAUS research programs and outlines of seminar sessions, correspondence, postcards, and posters. The subseries also includes an IAUS watch.

Description:
This subseries documents Kenneth Frampton’s writing of “Studies in Tectonic Culture: The Poetics of Construction in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Architecture” (1995) as well as his other writings related to tectonics such as course materials for the “Studies in Tectonic Culture” seminar at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) and some research materials on tectonics. Kenneth Frampton's research interest in tectonics began with four lectures he gave at Rice University in Texas in the 1980s. The lectures focused on the work of Louis Kahn, Mies van der Rohe, Auguste Perret, and Jørn Urzon. This research interest later became a book and teaching project in the early 1990s. Textual documentation in this subseries consists of contracts, book reviews, abstracts, correspondence, drafts for various chapters, notes, selected photographic materials for the publication and various articles on tectonics (written by others). Course outlines, course readers, lecture slides, student papers, and midterm exams from the Studies in Tectonic Culture seminar at GSAPP are also included in this subseries.

The Triumph of Hannibal
DR1984:1641
Description:
- The turbaned figure being carried into the theatre seated on a litter certainly refers to a non-Roman figure, possibly Hannibal. Behind this figure is a theatre and an imaginary town on a hill. The town buildings recall the Sicilian monuments in the 'Voyage pittoresque ou description des royaumes de Naples et de Sicile' published by the Abbé de Saint-Non in Paris between 1781 and 1786. Desprez interrupted his studies at the French Academy in Rome from December 1777 to January 1779 to accompany Dominique Vivant Denon and several other artists to Naples and Sicily in order to make drawings for this publication. The town buildings also recall several buildings Desprez planned in Stockholm while stage designer and architect to Gustavus III of Sweden from 1784 to 1792.

Projet
House X
AP143.S4.D20
Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for House X, designed for Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Aronoff for a 40-acre site on Lahser Road, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The ground floor consists of a kitchen, dining room, breakfast room, laundry room, two powder rooms and two garages. The second floor consists of a master suite with study, two bedrooms, bathroom, family and living rooms, bar, bathhouse and deck. The third floor consists of a solarium, terrace, bedroom and maid's room with bathroom. A swimming pool, tennis court and gatehouse are situated on the grounds. Thirteen schemes were developed for this project: A, A1, B, C, C1, C2, D, E, E1, E2, F, G, H. Only schemes G and H were developed into detailed floor plans. The drawings have been organized by drawing type, because of the subtle variations which characterize each scheme. Eisenman manipulates the four "els" (fragmentary forms - the three-sided portion of a hollow cube - that he introduced in House X to replace the cube, the preferred generating volume of his first five houses) in over 200 conceptual drawings (DR1994:0138:001-0219). There are numerous design development and complete sets of working drawings (design development drawings: DR1994:0138:239-541; working drawings: DR1994:0138:1182-1457). The project was extensively published, and the file includes a number of drawings and models created for exhibition and publication, including photographs of models (DR1994:0138:1481-1501), pieces of the "axonometric model" constructed after the project had been abandoned (DR1994:0138:1458-1476), and coloured paper cut-outs for collages (cut-outs, DR1994:0138:0929-0933 and DR1994:0138:1477-1480; collage: DR1994:0138:0928). The file also includes drawings and reprographic copies for the following projects: a residence for Mr. and Mrs. Aronoff,designed by Irving E. Palmquist, (DR1994:0138:1512-1521); Bernstein House, Mamaroneck, New York, designed by John Hejduk (DR1994:0138:1524-1531); Maison Domino by Le Corbusier (DR1994:0138:0944-0965); and land subdivision and houses for Arnold Aronoff, designed by Eisenman (DR1994:0138:0434-0441). Material in this file was produced between 1960 and 1977. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, photographic materials, presentation drawings, presentation panels, publication drawings, record drawings, schematic drawings, a study model, textual records, and working drawings.
