Description:
Construction for the transatlantic ocean liner, S.S. Nieuw Amsterdam – an initiative of the Holland-America Line – began in 1936 and was completed by May 1938. After the death of a leading figure of the Brinkman & Van der Vlugt architectural firm, the director of the Holland-American Line contracted the interior design to several architects, each working in partnership with artists. Oud was responsible for designing the First Class Swimming Pool and Second Class Tourist Lounge and Smoking Room. Oud outfitted the Second Class lounge with a rug, wooden furniture and a parquet dance floor; at one end of the room he set a stage, grand piano, and projection booth. The Smoking Room featured cork floors, panelled walls and a long reading table. The Smoking Room featured club chairs in brown leather and wooden chairs (Taverne et al. 2001, 389-392). Project series includes plans for the Tourist Lounge, and photographs of its interior.

CI005.S1.1937.PR1
Description:
In 1937, the Bataafsche Import Maatschappij (The Batavian Import Company), established a building programme for new headquarters within The Hague. The company wished to create office space for 600 employees. The company invited competition entries from four architects, including Oud. Oud's design was approved in 1939 and included a rectangular block of rooms oriented around a central corridor with office spaces separated by partitions. The building was surrounded by a garden. Oud also created designs for a possible future expansion and later designed office furnishings. While construction was interrupted by the war, the company proceeded with minimum construction until its restoration and continued expansion. Oud assisted with restoration after its bombing by Allied forces in 1945. The erected building was criticised for its traditional decorative patterns (Taverne et al. 2001, 411-414). Project series includes plans for the Shell Building, as well as a photograph of the building facades and one of the furniture.

CI005.S1.1942.PR2
Description:
In the early 1900s, Hofplein became problematic for its traffic gridlock. In 1942 Allied bombing demolished some of the area's surrounding buildings and paved the way for re-planning. Architect W.G. Witteveen proposed a reconstruction plan, as did J.A. Ringers, but Oud subsequently was delegated as supervisor of the Hofplein reconstruction plan with Jos Klijnen as architect. Oud's proposal was drawn up by 1943. Oud planned to divide Hofplein into three parts, including a circular traffic loop, an oval entertainment plaza, and an outdoor space with a café. He also proposed replacing an older tower building with a new town hall. Witteveen proposed an entirely different design and was unable to reconcile Oud to his plan; however, the city adopted an entirely new plan that was favoured by influential Rotterdam businessmen, one designed by Witteveen's assistant (Taverne et al. 2001, 429-432). Project series includes drawings of site plans for Hofplein as well as photographs of perspective drawings.

Description:
The Architectural projects series documents 33 projects that reflect A.D. Thacker's work as an architect. The series primarily consist of drawings depicting structures that Thacker designed after beginning his own practice in 1926 until his death in 1938, but also includes some work from 1913. However, many of the drawings and documentation within the series are not dated. The drawings include elevation, perspective and plan proposals and occasionally occaisionally studies. In addition to the drawings, the series also contains documentation of the drawings - including reprographic copies, photographs, and some textual material. The projects are largely situated in Quebec and include locations such as Hampstead, Westmount, Kanawá:ke, Dundee, Valois, Morin Heights, Chambly, and Halifax, Nova Scotia. *CONTENT WARNING* The united church project in Kanawá:ke (AP004.S1.D4) was associated with the Federal Indian Day School system established by the Canadian government with the aid of various religious organizations. See the project series for additional information. Please take care in consulting these records and seek help when needed.

Description:
Villa Allegonda was originally built by architect, H.J. Jesse, in the early 20th century before being remodelled by Menso Kamerlingh in 1916-1917. The villa was further renovated in 1927. The villa was one of three summer houses that Jesse built in the dunes of Katwijk aan Zee: Oud assisted with drafting and providing technical advice for the third villa, Villa Sigrid, in 1916-17. Oud worked in partnership with Menso Kamerlingh Onnes. Oud also coordinated the contribution of artist friends and chose the colours. In the second phase of design, Oud contributed to remodelling the villa windows and pillars and designing furniture. Exhaustion caused him to resign in 1928 (Taverne et al. 2001, 127-132). The project series features drawings for different phases of the project, including drawings of the 1917 design and 1931 furniture designs. The series also includes photographs of exterior and interior views of Villa Allegonda and furniture items.

AP207.S1.1968.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Diaologo Pettena-Arnolfo, an installation conceived by Pettena in 1968 for the "Premio Masaccio" (the "Masaccio Prize") exhibition in San Giovanni Valdarno. The exhibition was presented at the Palazzo Comunale, attributed to the Renaissance architect Arnolfo di Cambio. The installation closed off all open spaces in the portico of the Palazzo Comunale to create a new exhibition space. The "Premio Masaccio" exhibition was displayed in this new temporary gallery. Pettena "used the color black inside to create an abstract environment for the exhibition works while, on the outside, he drew large, diagonal black and silvers stripes on panels, as a deliberate contrast to the old city monument". [1] The project series contains a project description in Italian, photographs of the installation seen both from the outside and inside, and a perspective drawing showing the front facade of the Palazzo Comunale. Source: [1] Marco Scotini, editor. Non-conscious architecture: Gianni Pettena, Sternberg Press, 2018, 235 pages. p. 106.

This project series documents Pettena's installation "Laundry" realized in the context of the Campo Urbano, a series of artistic events staged during a day at the Piazza del Duomo, in the historic centre of Como, in Italy, on the 21st of September 1969. Pettena was one of the forty artists, musicians, architects and art critics invited to the event [2].

Numéro de référence:
AP207.S1.1972.PR03
Description:
The project series documents "Tumbleweeds Catcher", an installation by Pettena and a group of his students from the University of Utah, in Salt Lake City, in 1972. The installation consisted of a tower-scaffold built on a vacant lot near the city centre and covered with mesh so it could capture the tumbleweeds blown by the wind. Through this installation Pettena's intention was to "highlight the 'work of the land', the tumbleweeds moved by the wind and intercepted by the mesh of the tower, 'naturalize' it, contaminate it, thereby embodying the revenge of nature over urbanized space." [1] A second edition was later presented at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City in 2013. The project series contains photographs of the installation in 1972 and 2013, and drawings and sketches of the tower. Source: [1] Marco Scotini, editor. Non-conscious architecture: Gianni Pettena, Sternberg Press, 2018, 235 pages. p. 162.

AP207.S1.1977.PR01
Description:
The project series documents the performance "Performance Fotofosforescente" carried out at the Palazzo Grassi, in Venice, for the International Festival "The Art of Performance" in 1977. The performance consisted of a phosphorescent figure descending the grand staircase of the main entrance to the courtyard of the Palazzo Grassi, crossing the atrium through the audience, and heading down the steps towards the Grand Canal to finally disappear into the water. The performer is holding in his hands a three-dimensional phosphorescent Escher cube, the only source of light while the courtyard is in almost total darkness. "The evocative setting, the music, the darkness and this moving light produced an effect of “working” of the space, somewhere between the real and the imaginary [...]." [1] The project series contains a draft and a more final storyboard of the performance, Pettena's handwritten notes, and photographs of the performance at the Palazzo Grassi.
