Potteries Thinkbelt
AP144.S2.D56
Description:
File documents the unexecuted project, Potteries Thinkbelt, conceived for North Staffordshire, England, United Kingdom. The proposal called for a network of educational facilities for 20,000 students to be located over a 100 square mile area northwest of London. Moveable components, including fold-out lecture/demonstration units, rail-based teaching units, self-teach carrel units, faculty units, and housing units, were to be dispersed along the rail system. Existing conditions materials include regional aerial photographs with overlays of the rail system, and photographs, photo collages and panoramas of the region. Schematic sketches and drawings show the development of Price's design. Regional plans examine links between new and existing rail systems and national transportation networks and their projected use. Diagrammatic plans illustrate the relationships between recommended functions/activities attributed to specific areas. Detailed plans, sections, elevations, and axonometric drawings show housing types (sprawl, capsule, and crate), faculty and transfer areas in Madeley, Pitts Hill, and Meir. Other materials include regional land-use plans, photomontages with drawn perspectives, thumbnail sketches, life-span charts, conceptual sketches, aerial photographs and reprographic copies, some rendered and annotated. Many of the drawings were published in Price, Cedric. "PTB, Potteries Thinkbelt: A Plan for an Advanced Educational Industry in North Staffordshire." 'Architectural Design'. (October, 1966), 483-497; in Price, Cedric and Paul Barker, "The Potteries Thinkbelt", 'New Society' (June 1966) 14-17; and in Price, Cedric "Potteries Thinkbelt: Project for an Education Industry", 'Bauen & Wohnen', no. 9 (1967) 351-360. Material in this file was created between 1939 and 1987 but predominantly between 1963 and 1967. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, publication drawings, reference drawings, photographic material, and textual records.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Phoenix House of London office building from 1971-1973, located at 439 University Avenue in Toronto. The office identified the project number as 7105. This project consisted of a 23 storey office building for the publishing company Phoenix House of London Ltd. The building included a five-storey base, a 17 storey tower whose levels had less square footage than the base levels, and three basement levels. Two of the basements were designated for parking, while the other was rentable space. The ground floor was to be used for commercial space. Phoenix House would occupy the 21st tower floor and two and a half base floors, while the rest of the space was available for tenants. In total, the building was 269,135 square feet. The client for this project was David S. Owen of Warrick Consultants Ltd., and the materials often refer to this project as an Office Building for David S. Owen. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, material samples and textual records dating from around 1971-1978. There are many original sketches of the building design as well as some reprographic copies used for construction. There are also presentation boards of drawings, a project photograph and material samples. The photographs show the construction progress and the completed project. The textual records include correspondence, meeting and site reports, construction documentation, consultancy records, interoffice letters and documentation, contract data, financial records, and documentation on procuring historical artefacts to display inside the building. File AP018.S1.1971.PR03.017 includes an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.
