Description:
File documents Cedric Price's participation in the design charette organized by the School of Architecture at Rice University, for Design Fete IV (4 June 1967 - 16 June 1967), in Houston, Texas. Six teams, each composed of one professional architect and six architecture students, were given a hypothetical location and program for a new town along with its educational needs and asked to create an 'educationally integrated' community. The results were published by Rice University in 'New Schools for New Towns'. File contains conceptual sketches showing plans for self-pace learning, intensive learning, large volume social activities, variable volume social activities, and commercial activities. Other drawings show links between diverse activity elements and illustrate a communications network with a central 'town brain'. Material in this group includes network analysis diagrams, diagrammatic plans showing activity nodes, and charts depicting design components ('kit of parts'). Some material in this file was published in: "Total Learning Environment with a Kit of Parts", 'Progressive Architecture' (April 1968), 208-210; 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 18, 26-29; "Atom: Design for New Learning for a New Town", 'Architectural Design' (May 1968), 232-235. Material in this file was produced between 1967 and 1968. Charles Colbert, Paul Kennon, Niklaus Morganthaler, Robert Venturi and Thomas Vreeland appear as professional participants in the design charette. William Cannady appears as the director of Rice University's Design Fete IV. File contains conceptual drawings and textual records.

BTDB Computer
AP144.S2.D70
Description:
File documents the executed project for an office building to house the computer facilities of the British Transport Docks Board (BTDB) at Bulls Bridge and Hayes Road, in Southall, Ealing, England. The building has few doors and no corridors, rooms for computers, data control and preparation, and offices for engineers, programmers, and analysts. The client anticipated a 20% expansion of facilities during the life-cycle of the building and Cedric Price developed designs for "expanding" the building without interrupting computer services which were to run 24 hours a day. Design included interior walls that can be dismounted and reinstalled, a raised flexible floor system, and an exterior cladding system that allowed for an interchange between opaque and transparent panels. Existing conditions material includes an ordinance survey (1963) and floor plans for an unidentified building. Design development and working drawings include site plans, floor plans, sections, elevations, and construction details. The plans show: circulation patterns and relationships between areas; a series of alternate floor plans for computer room expansion; connections between original and expanded services; the computer room and equipment; furniture layout; framing and structure; and plans for acoustic and visual barriers. Also included are axonometric drawings of the phased development/expansion of the structure; design validation charts which measure projected "required" design elements against observation and investigation; environmental control charts exploring alternate proposals for illumination, ventilation, air, temperature, and acoustic control of certain areas, and diagrammatic sections showing environmental controls for air intake, returns and circulation; project requirements charts; project task sequencing diagrams; perspective drawings; elevations and sections for an illuminated sign; and details and wall sections for the exterior cladding. Twenty-nine individual and 60 sets of reprographic copies are stamped "issued contractor". Material for publication includes: details, site plans, floor plans and exterior elevations, b/w post-construction photographs, and a photo collage. Some material from this file was published in: Price, Cedric, "ECHOES: Environment Controlled Human Operational Enclosed Spaces", 'Architectural Design' (October 1969), 547-552; "Cedric Price Supplement No. 2", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (January 1971), 25; Price, Cedric, 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 72, 82-83, 112, 113. Material in this file was produced between 1966 and 1984, but predominantly between 1968 and 1973. Sandy Brown appears as the acoustics consultant and Zisman, Bowyer & Partners appear as the services consultants in this file. File contains design development drawings, working drawings, reference drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.

AP144.S2.D13
Description:
File documents a project for an arts centre at Bennington College, Vermont. It was designed by the Chicago-based firm of Robertson Ward Jr., F.A.I.A. for whom Price was a consultant while he worked on other projects in Detroit (see Detroit Think Grid, 1954-1968, AP144.S2.D73). Design requirements specified that no metal or rubber materials be used, and Price collaborated on the development of custom structural wood connectors. Architectural working drawings show Phase 1 of the project for a two-storey studio (1970). Later structural drawings, created in collaboration with Chicago consulting engineers, The Engineers Collaborative, show both a visual arts building and a performing arts building. Material in this file was produced between 1970 and 1973. All drawings are stamped and signed by Robertson Ward. Jr., registered architect, State of Vermont. Information on attribution based on the content of the file and on notes by Howard Shubert, CCA Curator of Prints and Drawings, in conversation with Cedric Price. File contains working drawings.

AP144.S2.D68
Description:
File documents a self-supported study by Cedric Price's office to study the feasibility of an information storage/retrieval system. Textual records mention two possible intentions for this project: the feasibility of operating an information storage unit within the office; and to study 'the architectural implications of automated library networks especially with reference to physical location and to the question of developing an architecture which will in no way inhibit the newly developing possibilities'. Material in this file was produced between 1966 and 1972. Roy Landau appears as a research assistant or collaborator for this project. File contains textual records.
