DR1974:0002:013:001-008
Description:
- This album contains large rendered drawings executed by Hubert Rohault de Fleury between 1800 and 1802 for architectural competitions held at the École Spéciale de Peinture, Sculpture et Architecture. These include renderings submitted by him for the 1800 Grand Prix programme for an "École Nationale des Beaux-Arts" (DR1974:0002:013:002 and DR1974:0002:013:008), for which he won a "deuxième Grand Prix", and for the 1801 Grand Prix Programme for "Un forum ou place public dédié à la Paix" (DR1974:0002:013:001 and DR1974:0002:013:007). David Le Roy, professor of architectural theory at the École, has signed and dated all four drawings on the verso, which indicates that the sheets were blank before being completed "en loge" (Levine, 99 and Perouse de Montclos, 11). Drawings DR1974:0002:013:004, DR1974:0002:013:005 (front and rear elevations for the same building), and DR1974:0002:013:006 are probably renderings for either a Grand Prix competition or a "projet rendu". The subject matter depicted in drawings DR1974:0002:013:004 - DR1974:0002:013:006 remains unclear. Bergdoll suggests that the drawings may be for Grand Prix programmes, including a "Ministère des Relations Extérieures" and a warehouse (Bergdoll, "HUBERT ... ", 1985), however, the former is depicted in DR1974:0002:013:007 and is therefore part of the larger 1801 Grand Prix programme for "Un forum ou place dédié à la Paix" (1801). A warehouse complex was never chosen as a Grand Prix programme during 1800-1802, Hubert's student years at the École (Macmillan). A recent Master's thesis suggests that Hubert Rohault de Fleury may have begun his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1798 rather than 1800 (Amouroux, 3), in which case the unidentified drawings could be for the Grand Prix competitions held in 1798 and 1799 for a "Bourse pour une ville maritime" and an "Élysée ou cimetière public". The drawing for a fountain in honour of General Desaix, place Thionville (DR1974:0002:013:003) is possibly an entry for a "Prix d'émulation", in which monuments were a favorite category (Jacques, 61).

Projet
AP164.S1.2002.D11
Description:
The project series documents the public commission for a project of the hotel, clubhouse and golf course ''El Toyo'', in Almería, Spain. The promoter was Alboran Golf U.T.E. The firm identified this project as number 155. The hotel has 90 double rooms including 3 suites, storage room, and a technical space underground. The roof was designed as an ecological green space, including a running path and the club house was arranged as a pavillion. "Making use of the differences in height created by the terraces proposed for the hotels Gran Terrace with the swimming pool, the Club-House will appear as a fold in the terrain, practically a topographic accident since it will be constructed by inclined concrete slabs which generate the interior space. The roof is accessible turning itself into a viewing platform for the whole complex, a strategy which gives the club a strong landscaping character.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with José Maria Ezquiaga, Ángel Jaramillo Esteban, Elena Jaramillo Sánchez, Ángel Jaramillo Sánchez, Ramón Espinosa Garcia-Bermúdez, Leopoldo Espinosa Herraiz and OMA, Agustí Obiol y Luis Moya. The team won first prize for their project. It was not built, but was approved. Documenting the project are design development, presentation and working drawings, digital and reference materials, minutes, clippings, resumes, presentation documents, and project descriptions.

Description:
Series documents the contribution of architect Max Taut to the correspondence circle of Die gläserne Kette, with Max Taut writing under the pseudonym Kein Name. Born in 1884 in Königsberg, Germany, Max Taut trained in carpentry and building before working in an architectural firm in Karlsruhe, Germany. In 1911, he worked independently, and later shared a practice with his brother Bruno Taut and Franz Hoffman (who joined them after 1914). His first architectural projects consisted primarily of schools. After his military service from 1914 to 1918, Max Taut joined the Arbeisrat für Kunst and the Novembersgruppe. After the First World War, he undertook several architectural projects, both private and public commissions such as housing and office buildings (mainly in Berlin), and also worked on projects for exhibitions. Unable to pratice during the Nazi Regime and the Second World War, Max Taut return to his architectural practice after the war and taught as a professor of architecture at the Hochschule für bildende Kunst in Berlin from 1945 to 1954. He undertook mainly housing development projects during this period. He died in Berlin in 1967. (Source: Ian Boyd Whyte, Bruno Taut and the Architecture of Activism. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1982) The series comprises part of the correspondence of Max Taut to the Die gläserne Kette circle and related drawings. The series also includes photographic materials of some of his architectural projects.

Projet
AP178.S1.1993.PR06
Description:
This project series documents the proposed design for the J. Paul Getty Museum. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 40/90. The office assigned the date 1993 to this project. The project was a collaboration between Álvaro Siza and Peter Testa. The proposal included renovations of the Villa and the Ranch House, the reorganization of the site, as well as the addition of new installations. The main change proposed by the architects was the creation of a Terrace Gallery and a natural amphitheater, forming a new entrance west of the Villa. Renovations to the Villa included modifications to the structure and the reorganization of the interior spaces. They proposed to rearrangeme the interior of the Ranch House and the construction of a 6,000 sqaure foot auditorium with a capacity of 200 people. The proposal also included the construction of a 13,000 square foot U-shaped building for the conservation program, the scholar program, and artist residency program. The main public entrance was redirected to the Los Liones Drives and a new parking area was proposed, with a 300 automobile and 6 bus capacity. In 1994, the Machado Silvetti Firm proposal was selected. Documenting this project are sketches and studies. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models and project site.

Description:
- The series "Running Fence 1997" focuses "on the first 14 miles of the border fence that separates the United States and Mexico, beginning at the Pacific Ocean and ending in the Otay Mountains.... [It] analyzes the "idea" of the border and explores its iconography, the border being a subject that is of extreme importance to the public as the world proceeds towards greater globalization. [Geoffrey] James has written of the project: "[The border fence] was built by the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1994, out of recycled metal landing strip - the most visible symbol of what is known as Operation Gatekeeper. Because the steel sheets are placed in the ground so that their ridges run horizontally, a man can hop over the fence with ease; and no Mexican child ever seems to be impeded from retrieving a soccer ball from US territory. The real barrier to illegal immigration from Mexico into the USA is less visible: hundreds of buried sensors linked to a central computer, nightscopes, helicopters and Border Patrol Agents in white Broncos.""
