Objectile records
AP169.S1
Description:
Series 1, Objectile, 1993 - 2011, relates to the firm’s activities, from the production of decorative panels to the management of daily business. This series includes born-digital material and chiefly dates from 2004-2008. “Objectile” is a term first proposed by philosopher Gilles Deleuze in his book The Fold, published in 1988. It was used to name the research conducted by Bernard Cache and his associate Patrick Beaucé around the development of industrial means to produce “non-standard” objects. In his book Earth Moves (Terre Meuble), Bernard Cache describes non-standard objects as repeatable variations on a theme, such as a family of curves declining the same mathematical model. The randomness of their patterns recalls earth’s forms and curves, the way geography generates nature’s topography. Cache also wanted these folds and curves to express a relationship between the exterior (geography) and the interior (furniture) of architecture. From these ideas, the firm Objectile was founded created to industrially produce and market those non-standard objects mostly taking the form of decorative panels. Those panels and other furniture were among the first objects to be computationally designed with computer-aided design software (CAD) and then industrially built through computer numerical control (CNC). The patterns were designed through unique algorithms that could endlessly be modified and personalized. Materials in this series reflect the work of Objectile. This includes design and execution records for the different wooden panels and other furniture, which are primarily in still image and CAD formats (TopSolid, AutoCAD). There is also a significant body of material for the Objectile website (in HTML and XML formats). The series additionally includes textual documentation reflecting the administration of the firm, including accounting and legal documentation, as well as correspondence. These materials are in typical office formats and include email.

Projet
AP140.S2.SS1.D99
Description:
File documents an executed project for the Lowry Centre in Salford, England, United Kingdom. The office of James Stirling, Michael Wilford, and Associates was appointed in 1991 to design the Lowry Centre and a masterplan for the site on Pier 8 of the Salford Quays. The project initially included a plaza, hotel and parking garage, and a commercial and office development. A National Industrial Centre for Virtual Environments was also planned on the site. The scheme was completed after the death of Stirling in 1992 by the firm of Michael Wilford and Partners. Material in this file was produced between 1985 and 2003. File contains a large number of design development drawings, including a few drawings showing early design proposals, as well as presentation and working drawings. Photographic materials include views of drawings and of presentation models. File also contains textual records, study models and two presentation models.
