Fun Palace Project
AP144.S2.D46
Description:
File documents the various unexecuted proposals for the Fun Palace Project, an interactive and adaptable, educational and cultural complex to be located in London, England. The project was commissioned by Joan Littlewood, to be erected on disused public land slated for redevelopment and intended to be dismantled after 10 years. Conceptual and design development drawings were created for a typical Fun Palace that could be erected on any suitable site, and several sites were considered, some belonging to the Civic Trust. Presentation drawings were elaborated for a Fun Palace in the Lea Valley at Mill Meads and for a later modified Pilot Project in Camden Town. Publication drawings were also created for an article in Price, Cedric. "Fun Palace Project." 'Architectural Review'. (January 1965), 74-75. The Fun Palace Trust was created to oversee the project and the file contains material from related activities of the Trust which was active until the 1970's. Existing conditions drawings begin in 1961 and include regional, zoning, and transportation maps of Greater London and a photocollage of the site. Conceptual and diagrammatic drawings include: perspectives for the structural system; plans for site access; charts for modular systems; axonometrics for modules; preliminary drawings for escalators and service towers; and studies for activity areas. A "Table of Kindred and Affinity" separates modular components physically and visually by means of activity types, circulation, and individual/group accommodations. Design development drawings for the Fun Palace Project include: plans for activity areas, site plans, typical plans, site movement/circulation plans, theatre seating plans, diagrammatic sections, volumetric structural diagrams, perspectives, charts for services for mass activities, typical mass activity enclosure types, charts for required equipment for activities, and "clamp" structural systems and studies for three dimensional versatility and modular feasibility. Design development drawings for the 1963 Camden Town Pilot Project include: site plans; diagrammatic plans showing circulation patterns; drawings showing basic cubes with components and structural panel types; details for component connections; charts for individual activity module requirements; and network analysis charts. Presentation material includes: aerial photographs mounted on board; enlargements of clippings; reprographic copies of photographs of the design models. Material in this file was created between 1961 and 1985 but predominantly between 1961 and 1974. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings and panels, publication drawings, reference drawings, an artefact, a film reel, models, photographic material, and textual records.

Projet
AP143.S4.D8
Description:
File documents an executed project for a private gallery for the display and study of antique toys entitled Barenholtz Pavilion and also known as House I. The project was built as an addition to the existing residence of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Barenholtz on the corner of Rosedale Road and Galbreath Drive, Princeton, New Jersey. The architect of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard's residence is unknown. Material in this file was produced in 1967 and 1968. Eisenman explores the permutations of architectural elements at the basis of House I in over 300 conceptual sketches (DR1994:0129:001-339). Furniture and display layouts for the antique toys are also part of this group (DR1994:0129:276-282). There is an apparently complete set of nineteen working drawings for the addition, which consists of a two-storey gallery with display areas for toys on the first and second floors, and an entertainment area with fireplace, bar and restroom on the first floor (DR1994:0129:405-423). Eleven design development drawings are not by Eisenman; they were perhaps produced by Michael Erdman, whose name appears on the title block of some of the working drawings but whose role in this project has not been determined (DR1994:0129:340-350). File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, working drawings, publication drawings, photographic materials, and textual records. Conceptual drawings include plans, axonometrics, elevations, sections, furniture layouts, and details. Design development drawings include plans, elevations, and site plans. Manuscripts include load calculations with bending moment diagrams. Presentation drawings include elevations, sections, and axonometrics. Publication drawings include axonometrics. Working drawings include site plans, plans, elevations, sections, and details. Textual records include notes, some illustrated. Photographic materials include views of a model and drawing.

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.
