Domestic Commissions
CI001.S2.D2
Description:
Hubert and Charles Rohault de Fleury received domestic commissions for both urban housing -hôtel particuliers and apartment houses- and rural dwellings -châteaux, country houses and estates. Hubert also executed designs for furniture and garden pavilions. Hubert' work is characterized by restrained classical exteriors and luxurious Empire style interiors; both Charles' exteriors and interiors, especially those for Hôtels Sauvage and Soltykoff, reflect the exuberance of the Second Empire. The CCA albums include drawings from all stages of the design process but with an emphasis on design development drawings. Hubert's albums contain cost calculations and estimates, notes and letters. In general, the drawings by Charles are from a more developed phase of design than Hubert's; Hubert's commissions are more varied than Charles'. Charles' Hôtel Soltykoff (1854)(DR1974:0002:003:001-105) is exemplary of the Second Empire not only in its architectural language, programme and interior decoration, but also its use of mixed stone and iron construction. The album for Hôtel Soltykoff is one of the most comprehensive in the CCA collection. The drawings incorporate several phases of the design process from conceptual ideas to post-construction revisions. Numerous drawings for the structure and exterior ornamentation are included as well as drawings for the embellishment of the interior spaces. The interior drawings are especially interesting for evidence they provide of the palette of colours and ornamental motifs utilized in the Second Empire. Several prints (plates XIX - XXIII) in 'Oeuvre de C. Rohault de Fleury, architecte', which include general plans and elevations (few of which are included in the Hôtel Solytkoff album), are a useful complement to more specific drawings in the album. The Hôtel Sauvage (ca. 1862) album (DR1974:0002:006:001-024) - a set of 24 contract drawings- consists exclusively general plans, sections and elevations. This group of drawings give a good overall sense of both the interior and exterior. Hôtel Sauvage, like Hôtel Soltykoff is also typical of the Second Empire in style and programme. Château de Marcoussis (ca. 1861), for which a group of drawings were acquired in 1986, diverges somewhat in character from the other examples of Charles' domestic works represented in the CCA collection (DR1986:0379 - DR1986:0413). While most of the other houses are strictly classical in planning and design, for Château de Marcoussis, Charles adopted a more romantic asymmetrical château style design. The domestic commissions (1838-1856) in album, DR1974:0002:002:001-094, roughly fall into two categories. The first category consists of single residences - both town and country. The regimentation of plans and façades in the hôtel particular and country houses manifests the continued influence of Durand, yet Charles was also clearly affected by the Second Empire propensity for elaborate façade treatments with decoratively-shaped windows, complex mouldings and extensive rustication. The second category consists of urban apartment building with stores or occasionally offices on the ground floor, apartments, generally two per floor, above and often servants' rooms in the attic. These buildings are articulated in a restrained manner with mouldings, decorative ironwork and some stone ornament.

Description:
- This album contains drawings, prints and manuscripts chiefly related to two projects: the restoration of the Thermes de Julien and the development of the place de la Concorde, then known as place Louis XV. The ruins of the baths are documented in five drawings by Hubert Rohault de Fleury. The portfolio of manuscripts includes letters from the "Préfecture du Départment de la Seine" appointing Hubert Rohault de Fleury and Etienne Goddes to direct the restoration of the baths, a report by Rohault de Fleury and Goddes, and subsequent letters. The report includes a description of the baths, historical research, suggestions for earth removal and the purchase of adjacent buildings to be demolished. Both proposals made by Hubert Rohault de Fleury to the "Ministre de l'interior" for place Louis XV include central fountains and streets bisecting the square into four quadrants, each with fenced lawns and central fountains. One proposal shows the outer corner of each quadrant bordered by colonnades and loggias overlooking the "jardins des Tuileries", while the other proposal shows promenades bordered by a row of sculptures (DR1974:0002:037:004 - DR1974:0002:037:013). Also by Hubert Rohault de Fleury are several sketches for urban squares and five sketches for fountains, probably for place Louis XV (DR1974:0002:037:003, DR1974:0002:037:014 R/V - DR1974:0002:037:018 R/V). Projects by other architects for place Louis XV in the album include: a print by an unknown engraver of a project by Poyet for place Louis XV, including an opera house; engravings by Ollivier and Hibon of plans and fountains for place Louis XVI by Destouches and by Lusson; a lithograph by Roux of an obelisk with a fountain, probably a proposal for the base of the obelisk from Luxor. - Material unrelated to the Thermes de Julien and place Louis XV in this album includes one sheet of sketches of plans and elevations of unidentified buildings (DR1974:0002:037:001:045 R/V) and a plan showing the location of trees on the edge of place du Cirque Olympique, Paris (DR1974:0002:037:025). In addition to place Louis XVI, the engravings by Hibon and Ollivier depict a fountain for the ville de Toulouse designed by either Etienne Jacques or Etienne Jules Tierry and details of the acanthus foliage finial of the "Lanterne de Démosthénes", often known as the Choragic monument of Lysicrates, Greece (DR1974:0002:037:020 and DR1974:0002:037:021).

Description:
File documents Generator, an unexecuted project for the Gilman Paper Company, at the White Oak Plantation, in Yulee, Florida. After an initial investigation Cedric Price proposed a complex that could accommodate company activities, cultural events, and artist residencies and would provide "a menu of items for individual and group demands of space, control, containment and delight. A place to work, create, think, and stare." ('Architectural Review', Jan. 1980, 16). The design called for timber-framed structures with variable infill panels and cladding, along with screens, to be placed on a grid of concrete pads by cranes with the help of computers in response to users' needs. Conceptual, schematic and design development drawings show grid placement, site layout, landscaping, designs for cubes and components, proposed activities, axonometric views, and design notes with sketches. Development sketches, site plans, and charts include site analysis examining future growth, activity charts, shadow study plans, and axonometric details. Drawings of the structures include: plans, elevations, details, and perspective views for cubes, screens, and cladding; shadow studies for cube variations; and axonometric views of cube arrangements. Other drawings include: site plans and sections; landscaping and parking layouts; plans for circulation patterns; drawings for boardwalks; and electrical and drainage plans. Charts study design validity, activities, networks, project feasibility, component life-cycle, and cube and component placement/construction sequencing. Computer generated printouts by John Frazer, et al show perspective views of cubes from various viewpoints. Two sets of annotated reprographic copies show details for a typical cube and the foundation. Presentation and publication materials include: photographs and reprographic copies of design models; coloured reprographic copies of computer parts and facilities; a coloured air-brushed rendering of cubes and screens by "Jeremie '77"; two perspective renderings; and reprographic copies made from published material. Some material in this file was published in 'Building Design', 23 February 1979; 'Building Design', 9 November 1979; 'Architectural Review' (January 1980), 16-17; 'L'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui', December 1980; 'Techniques et Architecture', December 1980; 'Design', January 1981; 'New Scientist', 19 March 1981; 'Schemes: Cedric Price' (ex. cat.; London: Waddington Galleries, 1981); 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 90, 92-97. Material in this file was produced between 1959 and 1995, but predominantly between 1976 and 1980. Main consultants for Generator in the United Kingdom include Felix J. Samuely & Partners, consulting engineers; Baker, Wilkins and Smith, quantity surveyors; John Frazer, computer modelling and systems; Sandy Brown Associates, acoustic consultants.

Description:
- This group of drawings and prints for Château de Marcoussis (designed by Charles Rohault de Fleury in 1862-1863), and for later additions to the château by Rohault de Fleury and other architects, is composed mostly of design development and presentation drawings and transfer lithographs - mainly plans and elevations. Three wash drawings and 13 transfer lithographs, some coloured with wash, are for the château as constructed and are mostly dated June 1863 (drawings: DR1986:0380, DR1986:0382, DR1986:0383; transfer lithographs: DR1986:0387 - DR1986:0389, DR1986:0397 - DR1986:0407). Drawings for two unexecuted designs for the château are included: the first is dated 3 May 1862, and possibly 23 May 1862 (DR1986:0379, DR1986:0393, DR1986:394), and the second 15 May 1862 (DR1986:0395 and DR1986:0396). Three untitled drawings may also be designs for Château Marcoussis, although the inscription "1er projet" in conjunction with the later date of April 1863, suggests that they are perhaps for a different unidentified project (DR1986:0390 - DR1986:0392). A proposal for a tower addition by Rohault de Fleury is dated 1 April 1864 (DR1986:0381). This tower also appears on a plan of Château Marcoussis by an unknown hand (DR1986:0408). A land survey for part of the château's park is signed and stamped by the landscape architect, L.L. Le Breton, whose stamp also appears on a drainage plan for the château (DR1986:0409 and DR1986:0397 R). Also included are a proposal for a winter garden for Château Marcoussis designed by Geriche (DR1986:0384), an unattributed project for modifications to the winter garden (DR1986:0385), and plans for an unidentified house (DR1986:0412 and DR1986:0413). Folder DR1986:0386 and mounts DR1986:0410 and DR1986:0411 were acquired with this group. All three objects are inscribed with titles, and those on the mounts indicate the existence of two drawings that were not acquired with the group: "Marcoussis / Mr le Mis de la Baume" (DR1986:0410) and "Escalier au tourelle / (projet) / 1900" (DR1986:0411). The inscribed title which figures on the verso of mount DR1986:0410 indicates that it was at one time used as a folder: "Château de Marcoussis / projets d'agrandissement / et de constructions".

Drawings and prints for Château de Marcoussis, France
Actions:
DR1986:0379-0413
Description:
- This group of drawings and prints for Château de Marcoussis (designed by Charles Rohault de Fleury in 1862-1863), and for later additions to the château by Rohault de Fleury and other architects, is composed mostly of design development and presentation drawings and transfer lithographs - mainly plans and elevations. Three wash drawings and 13 transfer lithographs, some coloured with wash, are for the château as constructed and are mostly dated June 1863 (drawings: DR1986:0380, DR1986:0382, DR1986:0383; transfer lithographs: DR1986:0387 - DR1986:0389, DR1986:0397 - DR1986:0407). Drawings for two unexecuted designs for the château are included: the first is dated 3 May 1862, and possibly 23 May 1862 (DR1986:0379, DR1986:0393, DR1986:394), and the second 15 May 1862 (DR1986:0395 and DR1986:0396). Three untitled drawings may also be designs for Château Marcoussis, although the inscription "1er projet" in conjunction with the later date of April 1863, suggests that they are perhaps for a different unidentified project (DR1986:0390 - DR1986:0392). A proposal for a tower addition by Rohault de Fleury is dated 1 April 1864 (DR1986:0381). This tower also appears on a plan of Château Marcoussis by an unknown hand (DR1986:0408). A land survey for part of the château's park is signed and stamped by the landscape architect, L.L. Le Breton, whose stamp also appears on a drainage plan for the château (DR1986:0409 and DR1986:0397 R). Also included are a proposal for a winter garden for Château Marcoussis designed by Geriche (DR1986:0384), an unattributed project for modifications to the winter garden (DR1986:0385), and plans for an unidentified house (DR1986:0412 and DR1986:0413). Folder DR1986:0386 and mounts DR1986:0410 and DR1986:0411 were acquired with this group. All three objects are inscribed with titles, and those on the mounts indicate the existence of two drawings that were not acquired with the group: "Marcoussis / Mr le Mis de la Baume" (DR1986:0410) and "Escalier au tourelle / (projet) / 1900" (DR1986:0411). The inscribed title which figures on the verso of mount DR1986:0410 indicates that it was at one time used as a folder: "Château de Marcoussis / projets d'agrandissement / et de constructions".
