Projet
CI005.S1.1937.PR1
Description:
In 1937, the Bataafsche Import Maatschappij (The Batavian Import Company), established a building programme for new headquarters within The Hague. The company wished to create office space for 600 employees. The company invited competition entries from four architects, including Oud. Oud's design was approved in 1939 and included a rectangular block of rooms oriented around a central corridor with office spaces separated by partitions. The building was surrounded by a garden. Oud also created designs for a possible future expansion and later designed office furnishings. While construction was interrupted by the war, the company proceeded with minimum construction until its restoration and continued expansion. Oud assisted with restoration after its bombing by Allied forces in 1945. The erected building was criticised for its traditional decorative patterns (Taverne et al. 2001, 411-414). Project series includes plans for the Shell Building, as well as a photograph of the building facades and one of the furniture.

AP196.S2
Description:
Series 2, Project files for full-term design, 2007-2011, documents the design phase after the firm won the project. During this phase, the firm refined the design, which included deciding on the pattern for the bird screen. The firm also produced the construction drawings and was in contact with potential subcontractors for the project. However, due to cuts in the city budget, the Ford Calumet Environmental Center was never built. The records consist largely of AutoCAD drawings and original sketches documenting the final design development phase, as well as related AutoCAD drawings for construction details. The records also include email correspondence with project subcontractors and City of Chicago’s Department of Environment and programming documents submitted to the City for different commissions and departments. The records also include marketing documents used for different publications about the project. Additionally, there is one study model for the entire building, two sectional models for façade roof and deck, and one terrazzo flooring sample.

Projet
AP018.S1.1980.PR09
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of an office building and its signage for Marathon Realty in Toronto at the corner of York and Front Streets from 1980-1984. These materials are arranged under two project subseries based on the project numbers assigned by the creating office. The project numbers assigned were 8009 and 8009-8214A. The first subproject consisted of the design and construction of the office building (see project subseries AP018.S1.1980.PR09.SS1 for more detail) and the second subproject documented the installation of signs to the top of the building (see project subseries AP018.S1.1980.PR09.SS2 for more detail). This building, originally owned by Marathon Realty, became known as University Place and would eventually become the headquarters of CitiBank and be renamed Citigroup Place. The materials refer to the building primarily as University Place. These two subprojects are recorded through drawings, photographic materials, textual records and material samples dating from 1980-1987.
