Description:
The papers in this collection are related to the participation of Barry Campbell in a project to create a 1:50 scale model for the Maison d'Artiste, an unbuilt project designed by architects Theo van Doesburg and Cor van Eesteren in 1923. The model, sponsored by lawyer Piet Sanders and Barry Campbell, was made by Frans Postma and was exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal (2009-2010) and the Tate Modern (2010) as part of the exhibition "Van Doesburg and the International Avant Garde: Constructing a New World". In 2013, Barry Campbell, Frans Postma and Victor Veldhuijzen van Zanten donated the 1:50 model to Het Nieuwe Instituut/The New Institute in Rotterdam, the Netherlands (Piet Sanders, who died in September, 2012, was also named as a donor). A 1:75 scale model was made for each of the donors. Textual records in the collection include correspondence, a copy of the donor agreement, and a text by Bertus Mulder. Drawings include printouts of plans, elevations, sections, and perspectives. There are also photographs of drawings. Digital files consist of a panorama by Postma & Partner.

Publications about Wood
CD046.S2
Description:
Much of this material is concerned with the contributions of British Columbia's wood industry to architectural production. After 1940, demands for B.C. wood grew rapidly due to requirements for war-time ships and aircraft, followed by the post-war housing boom in Canada. In particular, the series contains publications from the 1950s and 1960s by the Plywood Manufacturers Association of British Columbia. The Association developed and promoted successful prefabricated building systems, such as the "Trend House," beginning in 1952, prefab recreational cabins and roof trusses, and a practical post and beam building system for residences. The documents include special publications as well as a number of issues of the quarterly journal Plywood World from 1961-1962. Material in this series was produced between 1951 and 1964. Series contains a book and publications.
