Castelli House
AP143.S4.D26
Description:
This project series documents an unexecuted project for Castelli House, also known as House El Even Odd, designed for the exhibition "Houses for Sale" displayed at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York, and later at the James Corcoran Gallery in Los Angeles, United States. Material in this file was produced in 1980. There are few drawings by Eisenman for this house; he is most concerned with publication layouts in twelve of the drawings (DR1994:0140:001-012). An original transformation diagram documents the triple axonometric transformation of the "el" (DR1994:0140:051, published in Archer, 24-25). Two texts by Eisenman concerning House El Even Odd explain his intentions (published in Archer, 18-19). These texts, currently grouped with the material for Fin d'Ou T Hou S (DR1994:0141:250-252), are positive prints of the KC5 negative DR1994:0140:079. Fragments of models for House El Even Odd are also included in this project series; finished versions of the models are part of the CCA can be found in file DR1987:0857 and DR1987:0858. Note that model DR1994:0140:080 is in pieces and could not be measured. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, models, photographic material, and textual records. Conceptual drawings include plans and axonometrics - many graphite or black felt-tip pen on wove paper and some coloured felt-tip pen on tracing paper; and reprographic copies - one photocopy one wove paper. Design development drawings include plans, sections, and elevations - some graphite and/or black felt-tip pen on yellow trace. Presentation drawings include plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, and axonometrics - many pen and black ink and translucent adhesive coloured film on mylar and some pen and black ink on tracing vellum; reprographic copies - mostly blueline prints on wove paper; and one photomechanical print - on wove paper. Notes include notes and an invoice - one pen and black ink on wove paper and one graphite on ruled paper.

Naoya Hatakeyama : Échelles
L’œuvre de l’artiste japonais Naoya Hatakeyama interroge en particulier la relation entre ville et nature. Commandées par le CCA, les trois séries de photographies, dont Échelles, captent les maquettes d’architecture existantes de New York et Tokyo sous un angle qui défie les notions d’échelle et la perception de la réalité.

DR1988:0341
Description:
- This reprographic copy shows a storefront for a three storey building, with plate glass windows at the street level. - The style of many of these drawings and reprographic copies by Henry Hyams (DR1988:0332 - DR1988:0414) suggests that they were possibly for periodical illustrations. Hyams contributed articles to the periodicals 'The Builder' and 'The Architect'. Two objects in the CCA collections can be linked to the article "Music in Stone" published prior to 1926 in 'The Architect'; a reprographic copy (DR1988:0357) and a drawing (DR1988:0364) (Who's Who in Architecture, 161).
