Projet
CI005.S1.1915.PR3
Description:
As construction stagnated during the First World War, Oud drew plans for various public buildings as an exercise in design and/or as competition entries for public building projects. In response to a 1914 competition for a senior's home, Oud designed a central main building for communal activities, along with two adjoining residence wings. Oud attempted to design a main building that was suggestive of a country house. Although his design was never built, some of Oud's competition entries were published and allowed him to experiment stylistically (Taverne et al. 2001,105). Project series includes Oud's drawings of elevations and floorplans as well as 1 photograph of a drawing.

Marea [Thames Tides] (1974)
AP207.S1.1974.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the performance "Marea" presented as a conference given by Pettena to the Architectural Association of London while standing at the mouth of the Thames in London during the rising of the tide. Pettena's idea was to give "conference on the theory of architecture, pure, abstract theory, produced in a limited time, its length determined by the constraints imposed by changes in the physical environment." [1] The project series contains photographs of the performance showing Pettena standing in the water as the tide slowly rises.

Description:
The project series documents "Architecture in Love" a series of decorative rings designed by Pettena in 1997. "Rather than any decorative intent, this series of rings favors an essentially architectural approach. The object, formed of two halves that are assembled into the completeness of a whole, is in reality a disassembled and reassembled building, investigated in all its possible spatial values." [1] The project series contains sketches and design drawings showing the rings at different angles, photographs and project descriptions in Italian and in English.

The installation consists of covering the walls and the floor of an entire gallery space with branches and dry leaves. "The material is predominant here, and “becomes” architecture. It is a piece of city, or a ghost of it, where nature turns into architecture, or a work of architecture structures itself, describes itself with natural materials."

AP018.S1.1955.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the plant and offices of Ortho Pharmaceutical (Canada) Ltd. on Green Belt Drive in North York, Ontario from 1955-1956. The office identified the project number as 5508. This project consisted of a 36,000 square foot L-shaped building that housed administrative offices, manufacturing areas and laboratories, storage spaces and a cafeteria. The building's exterior was largely composed of windows, with white-painted steal columns and beams framing the forefront. Other parts of the building were white glazed brick. The design won a Silver Massey Medal for Architecture in 1958. The project is recorded through a mounted project photograph dating from around 1956.
