Résumé:
The Mark Goulthorpe HypoSurface project records, 1990-2014, document the design development, technical implementation, exhibition, and marketing of various iterations of the HypoSurface wall. The wall has a “skin” divided up into pixel-like metallic facets manipulated by a network of actuating pistons in order to create images, texts and patterns in dynamic relief. Sensors allow people near the wall to influence its movement. The records include approximately 62,700 digital files, 3 folders of textual documents, and 44 prototype pieces, and a working HypoSurface wall module.

DR1987:0866:001-011
Description:
- This group of correspondence, clippings and a copy of a resolution was compiled by the architect, Lloyd Wright, for his own record while he was persuing the commission for the Los Angeles Municipal Airport, Mines Field, California. While Wright received the approval of the Municipal Art Commission, his design was ultimately rejected by the Airport Committee in favour of a Spanish Colonial design. The correspondence is composed of carbon copies and mimeographs of a letter sent to the Municipal Art Commission requesting that the commission consider his design. There are several copies of this letter, probably because it was sent to individual committee members and a copy was made of each letter. Of the newspaper clippings, three relate to the Mines Field project; the most significant is a half-page spread with photographs of both Lloyd Wright's project and the successful Spanish Colonial design. Also on the same page are photographs of four of people involved in the commission, including Lloyd Wright, a councilman, a member of the art commission, and the airport manager. The two other Mines Field clippings announce the completion of an aircraft factory at Mines Field and the completion of the municipal airport within thirty days. The unrelated clipping announces a model airport to be built in Chicago. Also included with these documents are a copy of the resolution made by the Municipal Art Commission recommending Wright's design to the Airport Committee and an envelope addressed to Clifford Henderson, Director of Municipal Airports, City of Los Angeles.

Two Tree Island
Two Tree Island
Numéro de référence:
AP144.S2.D84
Description:
File documents an unexecuted project for Two Tree Island, the last uninhabited island in the Thames Estuary, in Essex, England. Cedric Price collaborated with Yorke Rosenberg Mardall Architects (YMR) on the project for client David Keddie, to develop a 178-hectare site on the island which encompassed both existing and reclaimed land, some of which was reserved under a trust for nature conservation. Early proposals showed residential areas, commercial, as well as, industrial zones, and facilities for recreation and leisure activities, including a marina. The final design proposed a much smaller residential area and harbour and included larger conservation and marshland areas in response to local concerns. The project was rejected and a portion of Two Tree Island was leased to the Nature Conservancy (NERC). An Appeal and Public Enquiry lodged by the client was subsequently indefinitely postponed. The architects produced several versions of a consultant's report, created a 'logbook' for the project, and published a brochure and promotional material for a public meeting. Existing conditions and reference material in the file includes maps of the area showing locations for a photo survey; Port of Authority of London plans showing water depths at various locations; a drawing of Marine Island, Essex; and a collage of photos of the area mounted on a board. Sketches by Cedric Price show development plans for the island and explore alternate "open" and "closed" configurations for the basin. Sketch sections show established maximum flood heights on the proposed schemes (see sketches in Works II, p. 86). A series of schematic drawings by YMR develop preliminary schemes exploring alternate layouts in relation to the primary basin configuration. A perspective drawing shows a view of the site from the main road to the island. Design development drawings include both original drawings and reprographic copies and include bird's-eye view perspective sketches; diagrams showing "domestic development" and projected "typical patterning"; and diagrammatic plans/charts showing existing and reclaimed areas, compatibility of activities, and degrees of accessibility (see typical diagram in Works II, p. 87). Other design development drawings include standard plans, sections and elevations, as well as site plans, land-use plans for the marina, plans showing alternate layouts for the marina dock, plans showing Thames tidal defences, site sections, and breakwater profiles. Working drawings for the marina by consulting engineers Sir Frederick Snow and Partners include survey plans, detailed sections illustrating the reinforcement and stabilization of the marine bed, and task sequencing diagrams and charts. Publication and presentation material includes photographs of rendered perspectives, over 18 watercolour renderings of Two Tree Island by Cedric Price, and a mock-up for a 13-page brochure or report summarizing the project. Many drawings are also included in the textual records, which also include Cedric Price's diary on the project. Some material in this file was published in 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 72, 86-87. Material in this file was produced between 1963 and 1989, but predominantly between 1971 and 1974. Cedric Price's office lists the following firms as the main consultants for this project: Felix J. Samuely & Partners and Sir Frederick Snow & Partners, Consulting Engineers; Baker Wilkins & Smith, Quantity Surveyors; Prof. Peter Cowan, Director, Joint Unit for Planning Research; Prof. Peter Willmott, Director Institute of Community Studies; Prof. G. P. Wibberley, Professor of Countryside Planning, University of London; M. A. B. Boddington, Rural Planning Services. One drawing in DR1995:0255:011-021 is attributed to Costain Civil Engineering Ltd. File contains cartographic materials, conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, consultant drawings, model, and textual records.

Cedric Price collaborated with Yorke Rosenberg Mardall Architects (YMR) on the project for client David Keddie, to develop a 178-hectare site on the island which encompassed both existing and reclaimed land, some of which was reserved under a trust for nature conservation. Early proposals showed residential areas, commercial, as well as, industrial zones, and facilities for recreation and leisure activities, including a marina. The final design proposed a much smaller residential area and harbour and included larger conservation and marshland areas in response to local concerns. The project was rejected and a portion of Two Tree Island was leased to the Nature Conservancy (NERC). An Appeal and Public Enquiry lodged by the client was subsequently indefinitely postponed. The architects produced several versions of a consultant's report, created a 'logbook' for the project, and published a brochure and promotional material for a public meeting. Existing conditions and reference material in the file includes maps of the area showing locations for a photo survey; Port of Authority of London plans showing water depths at various locations; a drawing of Marine Island, Essex; and a collage of photos of the area mounted on a board. Sketches by Cedric Price show development plans for the island and explore alternate "open" and "closed" configurations for the basin. Sketch sections show established maximum flood heights on the proposed schemes (see sketches in Works II, p. 86). A series of schematic drawings by YMR develop preliminary schemes exploring alternate layouts in relation to the primary basin configuration. A perspective drawing shows a view of the site from the main road to the island. Design development drawings include both original drawings and reprographic copies and include bird's-eye view perspective sketches; diagrams showing "domestic development" and projected "typical patterning"; and diagrammatic plans/charts showing existing and reclaimed areas, compatibility of activities, and degrees of accessibility (see typical diagram in Works II, p. 87). Other design development drawings include standard plans, sections and elevations, as well as site plans, land-use plans for the marina, plans showing alternate layouts for the marina dock, plans showing Thames tidal defences, site sections, and breakwater profiles. Working drawings for the marina by consulting engineers Sir Frederick Snow and Partners include survey plans, detailed sections illustrating the reinforcement and stabilization of the marine bed, and task sequencing diagrams and charts. Publication and presentation material includes photographs of rendered perspectives, over 18 watercolour renderings of Two Tree Island by Cedric Price, and a mock-up for a 13-page brochure or report summarizing the project. Many drawings are also included in the textual records, which also include Cedric Price's diary on the project. Some material in this file was published in 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 72, 86-87. Material in this file was produced between 1963 and 1989, but predominantly between 1971 and 1974. Cedric Price's office lists the following firms as the main consultants for this project: Felix J. Samuely & Partners and Sir Frederick Snow & Partners, Consulting Engineers; Baker Wilkins & Smith, Quantity Surveyors; Prof. Peter Cowan, Director, Joint Unit for Planning Research; Prof. Peter Willmott, Director Institute of Community Studies; Prof. G. P. Wibberley, Professor of Countryside Planning, University of London; M. A. B. Boddington, Rural Planning Services. One drawing in DR1995:0255:011-021 is attributed to Costain Civil Engineering Ltd. File contains cartographic materials, conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, consultant drawings, model, and textual records.
