Description:
This series documents publications by Ábalos&Herreros and by the firm's publishing house Liga Multimedia Internaciónal (LMI). It includes a doctoral thesis “La Casa de Don Giovanni” by D. José Queglas; a book series titled “Exit”; writings about the firm for an issue of 2G: International Architecture Review, no. 22; “Técnica y architectura en la ciudad contemporánea” by Abalos & Herreros; as well as various publications by Abalos & Herreros and other authors. “La Casa de Don Giovanni” by D. José Queglas was published at the LMI. Documenting the publication are copies of the doctoral thesis, dummies, proofs, correspondence, contracts, reports, and an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) request form. Material was produced between 1972 and 1996. The book series “Exit” was also published by the LMI. Five titles were published and a sixth was in development, when the project was abandoned for unknown reasons. The publications in the series were titled: Exit 1: Exit; Exit 2: Las Afueras : siete visiones de la vida metropolitana; Exit 3: Le Corbusier. Rascacielos; Exit 4: [unknown]; and Exit 5: Natural artificial. Exit 2’s project title was “Madrid Metrópolis” and was changed later to “Las Afueras […]”. However, Abalos & Herreros did publish a book entitled “Madrid Metrópolis”, but there is no relation between the two publications. Documenting the book series are correspondence, a dummy, publications, notes, clippings, plans, invoices, contracts, and reference, digital, graphic and photographic materials. The publication “Abalos & Herreros” featured in the 2G: International architecture review, no 22 includes plans and illustrations. The issue is about Abalos & Herreros’ work from the 1990s. Documenting the publication are design development, presentation, and work drawings, as well as textual records. The publication of “Técnica y architectura en la ciudad contemporánea” by Abalos & Herreros was documented in phases of its creation. This publication was translated in English under the title “Tower and Office: from Modernist Theory to Contemporary Practice”. It was published as Buell Center / Columbia Books of Practice by MIT Press. Documenting the publication are proofs, illustrations, design development drawings, correspondence, reference and photographic materials. Various publications by Abalos & Herreros and titles published by the firm’s publishing house LMI include writings and correspondence, as well as reference, graphic and photographic materials.

AP144.S2.D74
Description:
File documents the unexecuted design for the headquarters of the Birmingham and Midland Institute (BMI), in Birmingham, England. This project is related to the Shantasea Development (AP144.S2.D72) from which Cedric Price resigned as architect to take on the role of architect for BMI, one of the proposed tenants for the Shantasea project. Cedric Price proposed a municipal and regional "nerve centre" to house seminar and study rooms, workshops, galleries, film, television and music studios, a library, a planetarium, and a theatre. A flexible life-cycle plan (expansion, static, contraction) for the building and the activities would allow BMI to expand in the short and medium term, and to shrink in the long term, when it was assumed that many of its roles would be replaced by the UK's Open University plan (Works II, 42). Work on the project came to a stop in 1970 under a new city council (Architectural Design, June 1971, 368). Existing conditions material consists of maps and a survey of Birmingham. Conceptual sketches and drawings include: annotated diagrammatic plans and sections used to develop the building's massing and the horizontal/vertical relationships between functional areas; axonometric views showing the building's general form/functions; plans used for calculating square footage; diagrams showing visual and physical movement through the building; information and movement charts; and flow charts showing the building's organization. Design development drawings consist of graphs showing how functional areas might be used over time. Design development and working drawings include: diagrammatic plans and sections; exploded axonometric views of the functional relationships between areas; exterior axonometric views; sectional perspectives; space allocation plans; circulation drawings; diagrams showing activities throughout the day; furniture equipment schedules; theatre seating and stair studies; and elevations for exterior cladding. Charts show links between activities/actions; activity distribution; activity/capacity; progress of pre-contract work; and the telephone network. File also includes drawings by engineering consultants Felix Samuely and Partners and Zisman, Bowyer and Partners. Presentation material includes: newspaper clippings and text concerning the project; diagrammatic plans, sections, and charts; and a photo collage of the site; and a text by Cedric Price entitled "The Present Position". Some materials in this file were published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 3", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (June 1971), 364-368, and 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 36, 42. Material in this file was produced between 1967 and 1971. Zisman Bowyer and Partners appear as the mechanical and electrical consulting engineers; Silk and Frazier as the quantity surveyors; and Versa-Serve Ltd as the catering consultants on this project. File contains cartographic materials, conceptual drawings, design development drawings, panels, photographic materials, presentation drawings, presentation panels, publication drawings, technical drawings, and textual records.

Description:
File documents a project for designs for 3 mobile market stalls developed for Westminster City Council, to be tested in Berwick Street and Tachbrook Street Markets, London, England. One design was for a fruit and vegetable trolley, one for a clothes stand, and one for a newspaper, magazine and knick-nacks kiosk. Prototypes of the stalls were built by the firm Slingsby for inclusion in their catalogue. The project also included proposals for the planning and layout of stalls in the markets. Eleven photographs of the prototypes and other stalls on Tachbrook street (DR2004:914) were mislabelled by Price's office with the Strate project (AP144.S2.D183). Material in this file was produced between 1982 and 1996, but predominantly between 1986 and 1990. File contains design development drawings, working drawings, presentation panels, models, an artefact, photographic materials, and textual records.

Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for a detached private residence located at Beech Way in Selsdon, Surrey, (now Croydon, part of Greater London), England, for Jean Newlove (Mrs. Jean McColl).
