Greenbird
AP144.S2.D96
Description:
File documents Greenbird, an aviary for West Green House at Hartley Wintney, in Hampshire, England. Although construction did begin it is unclear whether the project was ever completed. The design for the aviary called for metal poles and a roof grid covered with a wire framework and nylon mesh. Conceptual sketches show various roof designs and a system for providing variable heights. The final design also included an artificial spring, stepped waterfall, rock pool, shallow pool, beach and marsh areas, and perches at various heights. Existing conditions material includes a colour aerial photograph mounted on press board and an existing survey plan. Design development drawings also include axonometric drawings of the structure and proposals for pools and waterfalls. Some material in this file was published in 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 90, 99. Material in this file was produced between1961 and 1979, but predominantly between 1975 and 1979. Several drawings in the file are attributed to McAlpine Design Group and Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons Ltd. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, consultant drawing, photographic material, and textual records.

Description:
- This preparatory drawing shows an oblique bird's-eye view for the north side of Fallingwater, a three-storey single-family dwelling designed as a part masonry, part cantilevered concrete slab construction. Rough quarry stone walls form a series of staggered blind screens which protect the privacy of the family sleeping quarters on the second and third floors. A broad concrete slab (later built as concrete trellis beams) serves doubly as bridge and canopy over the main entrance below.
