Série(s)
AP032.S2
Description:
This series contains papers and drawings related to Goldsmith's career with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill from 1955-83, and also his later work undertaken after retirement from the firm. The documents include office communications and reports, publicity about SOM, extensive client and project files (which include blueprints of Burnham & Root and Holabird & Roche office buildings), and Goldsmith's documentation files on projects, architects, and a wide range of other topics, some of which have a lot of information (bridges, stadium architecture). The drawings of various SOM projects and other work by Goldsmith include some original sketches and design development drawings, as well as five models of bridge proposals. Many of Goldsmith's later bridge designs (often with T.Y. Lin) are well represented, as well as large-scale projects like Central Place Development in Brisbane, Australia (Peddle, Thorpe & Harvey, architects), and the Hangkang City project (Goldsmith with Mahoub Elnimeiri and Alexander Baumgarten, architects).

Projet
AP164.S1.2003.D10
Description:
The project series documents the commission and built project for an urban development and a public park on the banks of the rivers Torio and Bernesca in the area of La Lastra, León, Spain. The firm identified the project as number 173. “The park of La Lastra is composed by the superpositioning [sic] of four different states of natural space: a fluvial park, an urban park, an agricultural park and a park with common installations. Being next to the urbanization of La Lastra, both public spaces, both adopt a minimum strategy of landscape bubbles and urbanized bubbles respectively in the way that the whole complex becomes a continuum and achieves a scale able to diffuse the traditional limits of either urban fabric or park, confirming a singular complex which responds to the way in which new generations can understand the relation between nature and artificial.” (ARCH270975) Two other projects are related to this one: Alcorque para León (AP164.S1.2004.D5) and Puentes de León (AP164.S1.2004.D6). Documenting the project are presentation documents, notes, a dummy and a proposal.

Projet
AP164.S1.2002.D16
Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the development of the International fair of the South, in the municipality of Getafe, Spain. The firm identified this project as number 159a. “The project puts the emphasis on two esencial [sic] questions: on the one hand a system which allows to resolve the fair’s pavillons simple and elegantly joining criteria of light, structure and water in a system of constructive rationality and average economy. On the other han[d a]n organization of the public and constructed space in phases which allow to understand the technology area of the south as something complete and shaped since the first of them has been developed. The proposed exhibition pavillions [sic] come from a technical reasoning based in the balance of structural width, central light and drainage of the roof, a result of several projects of similar scale which the office has developed in the last years.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros initially grouped this project with the competition Fira 2000 - Barcelona (AP164.S1.2002.D14). Documenting the project are presentation drawings, project descriptions, correspondence, studies, competition documents and specifications.
