River Clyde Competition
AP144.S2.D90
Description:
File documents an unsuccessful competition entry for the River Clyde Study & Ideas Competition, organised by the City of Glasgow, Scotland, for the rehabilitation of sections of the river bank. Cedric Price's entry proposed the conversion of existing coal yards and abandoned docks with a "metropolitan farm" including a food-growing complex, fish and hydroponic farms, and marketing facilities, along with a new public river transportation system. An existing conditions survey and a map show the docks and areas along the River Clyde. Design development drawings of diagrams and charts explore the various activities and the accommodation of each activity within the design limitations associated with it. Components of the plan are organized by activity type, location, and the amount of time required per activity. The activities shown include shopping, observation, gardening, employment, sports, and retraining. Other components of the plan are shown in detail: housing, the city farm, research center, a ferry and ferry stop, and a floating jungle. A diagram plots the travel time from the project area to various locations within Glascow. A public survey card monitors the project. One plan compares the size of this project site with other sites including that of Abu Dhabi Breakwater (AP144.S2.D94). Reprographic copies show regional relevance, and explore "test-bed" areas for activities such as forestry and agriculture. Some material in this file was published in 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 36, 39. Material in this file was produced between 1973 and1988, but predominantly in 1973. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, cartographic materials, and textual records.

Description:
The CCA collection includes albums of drawings for some of Charles Rohault de Fleury's most important public architectural projects, built and unbuilt. They provide valuable insight into his design development process, construction techniques, and flexibility regarding building types and styles, as well as illuminating the larger issues of urban planning and the complex interaction between architect, contractor, and entrepreneur in mid-19th century France. The neo-Moorish Hippodrome National (DR1974:0002:017:001-060) - an ephemeral structure constructed of a wood frame with canvas sheathing- was built adjacent to the Place de l'Étoile in 1845 and destroyed in 1856. The documents and drawings in the album provide a highly detailed and complete overview of the project from the study of historical models to contract drawings. Written documentation, including cost estimates, a contract, daily accounts of construction, entrepreneur's accounts, and correspondence with the principal contractor, is particularly revealing of the working procedures on a large commercial project. In 1855 Charles and Auguste Joseph Pellechet constructed the Chambre des Notaires on the newly transformed Place du Chatelet - the intended centre point of Haussmann's 'Nouveau Paris' (1). The CCA album contains primarily transfer lithographed working and contract drawings signed by the entrepreneurs and/or contractors (DR1974:0002:022:001-021). The plans reflect Charles' sensitive integration of iron and masonry construction, which allowed for abundant fenestration on the side facades, while maintaining the traditional aspects of character and solidity required in a prominent urban building. Charles' approach to the design of more utilitarian structures is indicated in his album of competition drawings for a municipal slaughterhouse submitted to the city of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, 1846-1847 (DR1974:0002:023:001-012). His interpretation of the written programme (included in the album) and the resulting design, is strongly influenced by his father's previous slaughterhouse projects, as well as his own for La Villete, 1835-1836 (see DR1974:0002:014:001-104 in Hubert Rohault de Fleury's Public and Urban Architecture (file CI001.S3.D1)). The pared down Neoclassical style of the slaughterhouse is typical of both Charles and Hubert's utilitarian structures. Charles' largest public urban project outside of Paris was for an unexecuted Hôtel de Prefecture (Departement de la Vienne) and Hôtel de Ville for the city of Poitiers, 1859-1860 (DR1974:0002:020:001-050). The project for the Louis XIIIth style Hotel de Prefecture is fairly complete and includes many working drawings, while the Francis Ist style Hotel de Ville is much less developed and consists primarily of unbound sketches and finished drawings. A site plan indicates that Charles intended the Hôtel de Prefecture and Hôtel de Ville to be located nearly opposite each other and connected by a major thoroughfare. The placement of both structures in the western quarter of the city probably reflects an earlier urban renewal plan proposed by the architects Morandiere et Compaing in 1849. The Hôtel de Prefecture (1864-1868) and Hotel de Ville (1869-1876) were eventually built after designs by Antoine Guerinot, in the same style, and on sites close to those proposed by Charles. Drawings and engravings of antique and contemporary theatres, fountains, honorific monuments, and large public projects by other architects are collected in album DR1974:0002:010:001-048 for reference purposes (some of these may have been collected by his father Hubert).

Description:
The project series documents the urban planning project under the consortium “Chamartin Operation” for the extension of the avenue Paseo de la Castellana. The firm identified the project as number 153. “Abalos & Herreros developed the architectural consultancy for this ambitious project initiated by R. Bofill and nowadays its in time of adaptation to the urban conditions and the real conditions under the direction of J. M. Ezquiaga. The prime aim of [their] work consists of the establishment of the constructed typologies, the occupation models and the relation between public and housing space for searching a possible compatibility in an environment that soon will be seen as centric in the urban map of Madrid.” (ARCH270975) Documenting the project are conceptual and design development drawings, photographic materials, project descriptions, and notes.

Description:
The village of Hoek van Holland – which had been annexed to Rotterdam in 1914 – successfully appealed to the city council in 1923 to develop public housing to address the city's shortage of affordable housing. Oud was commissioned to sketch 40 dwellings for working class residents. The original plan consisted of three separate rows of housing, which were later amended to two two-storey rows of housing. City council sent back the plans with a request to change the facade, but in 1925 accepted the original design before construction began in 1927. The design comprehended 41 dwellings, a library, four warehouses and four shop fronts with unique curved facades (Taverne et al. 2001, 260-265). Project series includes photographs of facades and exteriors of housing as well as plans.

Description:
The preparation of a comprehensive plan for the socio-economic development of Pahang Tenggara, a region of approximately 4,000 square miles. A master plan for the optimum utilization and development of its human and natural resources over a 20 year period was prepared. A complete inventory of the physical condition and natural resources of the area was required, as well as an assessment of the human and economic capabilities, both in its adjoining regions and the nation as a whole. The plan provides guidelines and a basic framework for future development by public, government-assisted and private investments until 1990. The plan also details the economic feasibility of primary resources and secondary industrial projects, and all related social and physical infrastructure requirements.
