DR1988:0437:046
Description:
- This etching for a fireworks construction or macchina is in the form of a temple dedicated to peace. The temple appears to be centrally-planned, consisting of a square lower story crowned by a shallow dome similar to that of the Pantheon except that is roofed with fish-scale shingles. The front façade is in the form of a triumphal arch.

Projet
Antas, Porto
CD034.S1.1974.PR03
Description:
This project series contains reproductions of drawings and photographs displayed in the exhibit to document the Antas neighbourhood, in Porto, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: ... the SAAL Brigade intervened at the heart of an urban area which then became subject to redevelopments after the construction of the first units. The original proposal and the completed phases contrast the scale of later operations and change the perception of the original project. Nonetheless, the architectural design addressed a difficult terrain, and maintained the specificities of the urban 'ilhas' (islands) by incorporating a vernacular character, which the residents appropriated and transformed even further overtime. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) The project architect Pedro Ramalho worked for SAAL/North with Aires Pereira, Augusto Costa, Francisco M. Lima, José Lencastre, Lídia Costa, Pedro B. Araújo, Teresa Fonseca, Vítor Bastos and the residents' association Antas, that was founded on Septermber 1st, 1975. The first phase of the project included 32 dwellings and the second, 50 dwellings. The operation began in October 1974, with a construction date in October 1975. This project series contains reproductions of design development drawings, implementation plans, axonometric views and photographic material. The original drawings and photographs were produced in 1975 and 1976 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.

Album of competition drawings for a municipal slaughterhouse, route Royale, Saint-Germain-en-Laye
DR1974:0002:023:001-012
Description:
- This album contains the complete set of ten presentation drawings that Charles Rohault de Fleury submitted to the competition for a municipal slaughterhouse sponsored by the Conseil Municipal de la Ville de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. The album also includes a pamphlet which describes the official programmes for the slaughterhouse competition as well as a competition for the restoration of the parish church (DR1974:0002:023:001). Rohault de Fleury submitted the following drawings according to programme guidelines: a general site plan at a scale of 2 mm to the meter (DR1974:0002:023:003); sections and elevations showing the project as a whole on all the main façades and axes, at a scale of 5 mm to the meter (DR1974:0002:023:004 - DR1974:0002:023:006); plans, elevations, and sections of the main buildings, at a scale of 1 cm to the meter (DR1974:0002:023:007 - DR1974:0002:023:011); and details for the buildings, machinery, and decoration, at a scale of 2 cm to the meter (DR1974:0002:023:012). The major components of the slaughterhouse - "les étaux des bouchers", "les bouveries", "les porcheries", and the administrative buildings - are composed of two buildings, identical on the exterior, but which vary according to function on the interior. The drawings indicate the proposed construction materials including a facing of rough stone for the walls, squared stone for the quoins, wood for the doors, metal for the gabled roofs, brick for the chimneys, and paved floors for areas coming into contact with the slaughtered animals ("les étaux des bouchers" and parts of the "porcherie").

Projet
McAppy
AP144.S2.D89
Description:
File documents a design programme undertaken for construction company, Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons Ltd., in London, England. The aim was to increase the efficiency of production and improve labour relations by producing enclosures, equipment, material, and information systems that would improve safety, on-site communication, and job satisfaction. Cedric Price's office produced 2 report volumes, a Portable Enclosures Programme (PEP) and used at least one construction site, at Angel Court, as a test site for the proposals. Diagrams and flow charts show preliminary planning and programming design decisions and show the relationship between present and future factors. A flow chart illustrates the scope of the program. Charts and diagrams map the relative time scale of parts of the programme over various development phases. An axonometric and cutaway drawing show the interior construction of a pedestrian walkway. Data showing both the projected and real results of a site test application of McAppy planning and equipment from 1974 to 1975 was collected and presented as a broadside. A large number of original drawings are included within the textual records. Material in this file was produced between 1955 and 1987. Zisman, Bowyer & Partners provided consultation services. File contains design development drawings, model, photographic materials, presentation drawings, and textual records.

CI005.S1.1915.PR2
Description:
Oud designed a traditional West Netherlands farmhouse for his clients, Mr and Mrs Van Essen-Vinckers, in Blaricum, 1915. He revised his original design into the more modest Essen-Vinckers Villa. Oud was challenged to incorporate four bedrooms into the scaled down dwelling. The amended design featured a prominent chimney projecting from the living room through to the balcony and the upstairs bedroom (Taverne et al. 2001, 77-78). The project series includes plans as well as photographs of exterior views of the villa.
