DR1974:0002:014:001-104
Description:
- This album contains drawings by Hubert and Charles Rohault de Fleury for six projects related to horses, with some pertaining to larger issues of urban development. The drawings range from design development drawings to highly finished renderings - mostly plans, elevations and sections. The proposed projects are in a pared-down classical style typical of the Rohault de Fleury's utilitarian structures. The projects include a stud-farm, Haras de Madrid, Bois de Boulogne (1819); a horse auction house (bazaar) and infirmary, Clos St. Charles, nouveau quartier Poissonnière, including studies for the development of the quartier (1823-1825); Clos d'équarrissage, fôret de Bondy (probably 1825-1827); and three projects for horse slaughterhouses: Plaine de Grenelle (1824), an unnamed project (probably between 1825 and 1827), and La Villette (1835-1836). Hubert's project for a stud-farm on the site of the old Château de Madrid consists mostly of highly finished plans, elevations, and sections for the stables (DR1974:0002:014:001 - DR1974:0002:014:013). Hubert's project for a horse auction house (bazaar) and infirmary for the Clos St. Charles area is apparently part of a larger project to develop the nouveau quartier Poissonnière (DR1974:0002:014:014 - DR1974:0002:014:029). The numerous site plans show the horse auction house (bazaar) and infirmary, proposed roads, and properties to be purchased and sold. Included is a property lots plan for the quartier (DR1974:0002:014:014). Hubert's Clos d'équarrissage is the most extensive project in the album. Forty-three finished drawings - including construction drawings and plans showing variant configurations for the disposition of buildings - depict a slaughterhouse, a factory for the preservation of muscles, buildings for the preservation and processing of offal, and workers' housing (DR1974:0002:014:051 - DR1974:0002:014:088, DR1974:0002:014:091 - DR1974:0002:014:093, DR1974:0002:014:095 and DR1974:002:014:096). Hubert's drawings for a horse slaughterhouse, Plaine de Grenelle, range from detailed design development drawings to highly finished site plans (DR1974:0002:014:030 - DR1974:0002:014:048) and a bird's-eye view of the slaughterhouse (DR1974:0002:014:033). The drawings for an unidentified slaughterhouse are possibly for this project (DR1974:0002:014:049 - DR1974:0002:014:051). Charles's project for a slaughterhouse at La Villette consists of variant site plans (DR1974:0002:014:089 - DR1974:00002:014:090, DR1974:0002:014:095, DR1974:0002:014:104).

The projects include a stud-farm, Haras de Madrid, Bois de Boulogne (1819); a horse auction house (bazaar) and infirmary, Clos St. Charles, nouveau quartier Poissonnière, including studies for the development of the quartier (1823-1825); Clos d'équarrissage, fôret de Bondy (probably 1825-1827); and three projects for horse slaughterhouses: Plaine de Grenelle (1824), an unnamed project (probably between 1825 and 1827), and La Villette (1835-1836). Hubert's project for a stud-farm on the site of the old Château de Madrid consists mostly of highly finished plans, elevations, and sections for the stables (DR1974:0002:014:001 - DR1974:0002:014:013). Hubert's project for a horse auction house (bazaar) and infirmary for the Clos St. Charles area is apparently part of a larger project to develop the nouveau quartier Poissonnière (DR1974:0002:014:014 - DR1974:0002:014:029). The numerous site plans show the horse auction house (bazaar) and infirmary, proposed roads, and properties to be purchased and sold. Included is a property lots plan for the quartier (DR1974:0002:014:014). Hubert's Clos d'équarrissage is the most extensive project in the album. Forty-three finished drawings - including construction drawings and plans showing variant configurations for the disposition of buildings - depict a slaughterhouse, a factory for the preservation of muscles, buildings for the preservation and processing of offal, and workers' housing (DR1974:0002:014:051 - DR1974:0002:014:088, DR1974:0002:014:091 - DR1974:0002:014:093, DR1974:0002:014:095 and DR1974:002:014:096). Hubert's drawings for a horse slaughterhouse, Plaine de Grenelle, range from detailed design development drawings to highly finished site plans (DR1974:0002:014:030 - DR1974:0002:014:048) and a bird's-eye view of the slaughterhouse (DR1974:0002:014:033). The drawings for an unidentified slaughterhouse are possibly for this project (DR1974:0002:014:049 - DR1974:0002:014:051). Charles's project for a slaughterhouse at La Villette consists of variant site plans (DR1974:0002:014:089 - DR1974:00002:014:090, DR1974:0002:014:095, DR1974:0002:014:104).

Description:
Series documents Cedric Price's projects from his early work in the late 1950s to work dating from the time he founded his own practice in 1960 until 2000. Material includes numerous competition entries, planning and building projects, transportation-related projects, exhibitions, conceptual projects, furniture and interior designs, and monuments, follies, and decorations. Some projects also reflect his teaching, research, lecture and publication activities. Price also worked on several competition juries (see projects Musique, Elephant). Many of Cedric Price's projects in the series are unexecuted. Significant unrealized projects from the 1960s and 1970s include Fun Palace (1961-1974), Potteries Thinkbelt (1963-1967), Oxford Corner House (1965-1966), and Generator (1976-1980). Significant built projects from the same period include the New Aviary (1960-1966), his first major realized project (with Lord Snowdon and Frank Newby), and Inter-Action Centre (1971-1979). Other realized projects include an office building (BTDB Computer, 1968-1973) and restaurant (Blackpool Project, 1971-1975). Planning projects from the 1960s and 1970s include Potteries Thinkbelt, Detroit Think Grid (1969-1971) and Rice University's design charette, Atom (1967). In the 1980s and 1990s, Cedric Price worked on several building proposals including greenhouses (Serre, Serre (2)), museums, galleries, and pavilions (Trafalgar, Pertpavs, Snake), a railway station (Strate (2)), a cultural centre (Tiff), houses (Perthut, Castel), a bus station (Walsall), an aviary (CP Aviary) and office buildings (Domain, Berlin). Planning projects from the same time include parks and cultural complexes, (Parc, South Bank), urban areas, (Strate, Stratton, IFPRI, Haven, Mills), university campuses (Frankfurt, Unibad, Bedford), and rural areas (Stark, Arkage). Transportation-related projects include railways (Strate, Control, Rink), roadways (Stratton) and pedestrian links (Magnet, Halmag, South Bank). Only a few of his projects from that period were executed and those include the renovation projects Congress and SAS 29; a mobile market stall design for Westminster City Council (Westal) for which prototypes were built; a coffee cup design (Crowbar); and building conversion projects Gatard and Juke. Exhibition projects in the series include some devoted to Cedric Price's works (AA Exhibition, Aedes, AFX, Afella), some designed by him (Strike, Food for the Future, Topolski/Waterloo, Ashmole, Mean, AFX), as well as projects designed for exhibition (Citlin, Castel). The series also contains self-financed research and client-less projects, which form a significant part of Cedric Price's practice. Undertaken in anticipation of future clients or new planning needs, they include research into air structures and lightweight enclosures as well as integrated construction and transportation solutions (Trucksafe Air Portable Dock Ahoy), and housing research. South Bank, Magnet, and Duck Land represent a few of the client-less projects. The material in this series documents Cedric Price's work in the United Kingdom, in particular England (the Greater London area, and other areas) and Scotland, Germany, France, Austria, Australia, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States and other locations such as Canada, Nigeria, and Norway. Major clients include J. Lyons & Co. (Oxford Corner House), David Keddie (Two Tree Island, Southend Roof), Howard Gilman (Generator), British Railways (Strate and Strate (2), and others), the McAlpine family , particularly Alistair McAlpine, and their company Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons Ltd. (McAppy, Perthut, Trafalgar, Pertpavs, Ashmole, Perth, Obeliq, McVance); Établissement Public du Parc de la Villette (Parc, Serre, Serre (2), Musique) and the Canadian Centre for Architecture (IFPRI, Mean). He collaborated with several architects and engineers during the course of his career, his closest association being with engineer Frank Newby and quantity surveyor Douglas Smith. Some of his other collaborators include engineer Max Fordham (Strate (2), Tiff, Berlin), engineering firms Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick and Partners (Stratton, Rink, Control), and Sir Frederick Snow & Partners (South Bank), cybernetician Gordon Pask (Kawasaki/Japnet), architectural firm YRM/Yorke Rosenberg Mardall (Unibad), and architect Richard Rogers (Marman). He also collaborated with members of Archigram on the Trondheim Competition, (1972-1974), and with John and Julia Frazer who provided the computer modelling for Generator. David Price, Cedric Price's brother was the model maker for several projects. The series contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, reference drawings and maps, presentation drawings (particularly for competitions), and working drawings. A significant amount of textual records are included, especially for projects involving a large amount of research or publicity (Air Structures, Lightweight Enclosures, South Bank, CP Aviary, Stratton), for executed projects, and for the larger unrealized projects like Fun Palace and Generator. Also includes photographic materials of project sites and models. Some models included in the series are made from durable materials (wood, metal, plastic), while others are in-office constructions made out of paper, cardboard and Fome-Cor (TM). Of particular note are the 11 models for Magnet, and a full-size prototype of a market stall for Westal. Series also contains publication layouts, including material for the "Cedric Price Supplement", 'Architectural Design' vols. 40- 42 (1970-1972). Changes in office practice are noted around 1971, evident in the Blackpool Project and later, including the adoption of the metric system, and the creation of working and detail drawings on A4 size paper and filed with textual records (e.g. approximately 300 such drawings are included in the textual records for Blackpool Project). At the same time fewer preamble drawings that relate to site sensing, progress and life-cycle graphs and tables are created for the projects (a common feature from the 1960s), although project progress tables are still used. Of particular interest is material in the Early Work and Miscellaneous Records file (AP144.S2.D1) that relates to office work methods and programmes.

Exhibition projects in the series include some devoted to Cedric Price's works (AA Exhibition, Aedes, AFX, Afella), some designed by him (Strike, Food for the Future, Topolski/Waterloo, Ashmole, Mean, AFX), as well as projects designed for exhibition (Citlin, Castel). The series also contains self-financed research and client-less projects, which form a significant part of Cedric Price's practice. Undertaken in anticipation of future clients or new planning needs, they include research into air structures and lightweight enclosures as well as integrated construction and transportation solutions (Trucksafe Air Portable Dock Ahoy), and housing research. South Bank, Magnet, and Duck Land represent a few of the client-less projects. The material in this series documents Cedric Price's work in the United Kingdom, in particular England (the Greater London area, and other areas) and Scotland, Germany, France, Austria, Australia, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States and other locations such as Canada, Nigeria, and Norway. Major clients include J. Lyons & Co. (Oxford Corner House), David Keddie (Two Tree Island, Southend Roof), Howard Gilman (Generator), British Railways (Strate and Strate (2), and others), the McAlpine family , particularly Alistair McAlpine, and their company Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons Ltd. (McAppy, Perthut, Trafalgar, Pertpavs, Ashmole, Perth, Obeliq, McVance); Établissement Public du Parc de la Villette (Parc, Serre, Serre (2), Musique) and the Canadian Centre for Architecture (IFPRI, Mean). He collaborated with several architects and engineers during the course of his career, his closest association being with engineer Frank Newby and quantity surveyor Douglas Smith. Some of his other collaborators include engineer Max Fordham (Strate (2), Tiff, Berlin), engineering firms Scott Wilson Kirkpatrick and Partners (Stratton, Rink, Control), and Sir Frederick Snow & Partners (South Bank), cybernetician Gordon Pask (Kawasaki/Japnet), architectural firm YRM/Yorke Rosenberg Mardall (Unibad), and architect Richard Rogers (Marman). He also collaborated with members of Archigram on the Trondheim Competition, (1972-1974), and with John and Julia Frazer who provided the computer modelling for Generator. David Price, Cedric Price's brother was the model maker for several projects. The series contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, reference drawings and maps, presentation drawings (particularly for competitions), and working drawings. A significant amount of textual records are included, especially for projects involving a large amount of research or publicity (Air Structures, Lightweight Enclosures, South Bank, CP Aviary, Stratton), for executed projects, and for the larger unrealized projects like Fun Palace and Generator. Also includes photographic materials of project sites and models. Some models included in the series are made from durable materials (wood, metal, plastic), while others are in-office constructions made out of paper, cardboard and Fome-Cor (TM). Of particular note are the 11 models for Magnet, and a full-size prototype of a market stall for Westal. Series also contains publication layouts, including material for the "Cedric Price Supplement", 'Architectural Design' vols. 40- 42 (1970-1972). Changes in office practice are noted around 1971, evident in the Blackpool Project and later, including the adoption of the metric system, and the creation of working and detail drawings on A4 size paper and filed with textual records (e.g. approximately 300 such drawings are included in the textual records for Blackpool Project). At the same time fewer preamble drawings that relate to site sensing, progress and life-cycle graphs and tables are created for the projects (a common feature from the 1960s), although project progress tables are still used. Of particular interest is material in the Early Work and Miscellaneous Records file (AP144.S2.D1) that relates to office work methods and programmes.
