Projet
AP164.S1.1999.D10
Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the mixed-use tower “El Mirador” in the Bay of Algeciras. The firm was invited to submit their design proposal which won second prize. The competition was organised by the Algeciras City Council. The firm identified this project as number 123. “The project attempts to express, with an architectural gesture, the beauty of the geography of Algeciras: the bay, the port, the Rock and the Straits of Gibraltar, the proximity of Ceuta and Africa, the cork-oak forests that surround the town. For this [Abalos & Herreros] propose a building that, from a single body, opens out into two towers from one great public viewing platform. This form has strategic holes giving onto the more notable topographical features, establishing a physical relationship with them, while the section is organized as a gradient of privacy that increases with height. The competition […] proposed a mixed programme in a posture parallel to the great avenue of the harbour of Algeciras. An evanescent building apparently fragile appears to let one being stimulated by the effects of the climate and the atmospheric phenomenons with an appearance changing with the function of the hours of the day or the season. Its layered section attends ascending to the different landscapes of the city: first public space, second the cities skyline and at last the 360° horizon rising above the city.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with Ángel Jaramillo, Renata Sentkiewicz, Jakob Hense. Documenting this project are conceptual, design development and presentation drawings, cartographic and graphic materials, and competition records.

Description:
File documents a consultancy project to increase public access to the Stowe Gardens in Buckinghamshire, England, undertaken for the Stowe School, which owned the gardens. Included are proposals to improve vehicular access routes and parking; to improve and expand walking routes; and to introduce new tourist facilities and improve existing facilities. This project also includes proposals for alterations and additions to existing Stowe School buildings, and an earlier executed project for a new girls' boarding house, for which Price was also consultant. Material in this file was produced between 1978 and 1990, but predominantly between 1983 and 1986. File contains conceptual drawings, photographic materials, and textual records

Projet
AP056.S1.1989.PR08
Description:
This project series documents the winning competition entry and subsequent construction for Kitchener City Hall in Kitchener, Ontario from 1989-1993. The office identified the project number as 8928. This project consisted of a U-shaped civic building comprised of a circular rotunda in the centre, an office tower to the right, the council chambers to the left, and two rectangular arms on either side to create the arms of the U. These elements, which wrapped around a large reflecting pool that doubled as a skating rink, were visually separated but coherent in their design and use of materials. Located on the block between Young, College, Duke and King Streets, the interior and exteriors of the property were designed for city government, but also for the larger public with community, public spaces, and open interaction with local government as key design concepts for the project. After entering the Civic Square outside the building, patrons can pass through the main portico, into the Interior Civic Square were the round Civic Rotunda rests in the centre. The rotunda’s interior was designed for use as a public gathering space, where events and activities could be held. The top of the rotunda had sandblasted glass windows with patinated copper frames, letting natural light shine into the large space below. A staircase from the main Civic Square led to an exterior terrace that wrapped around the top of the rotunda. The Administrative Office Tower was ten-storeys with a mechanical penthouse, and was used for civic offices. The Council Chamber was comprised of limestone with refinished metal panels forming a curved roof on top. The two wings along the sides of the property contained tenant areas, a restaurant, information offices, alderman’s offices and the mayor’s office, among other spaces. The back of the property had landscaped exteriors and outdoor play areas for the building’s daycare. The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials, presentation paintings and models dating from 1989-1993. The drawings consist of concepts for both the competition entry and the subsequent construction of the project. These include sketches, base maps and area surveys produced by the city and contractors, presentation boards and paintings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and axonometric drawings. There are also photographic reproductions of presentation drawings. The photographs show finished interiors and exteriors and the project model.

He taught architecture at the Technische Hochschule at Berlin-Charlottenburg from 1930 to 1932, and undertook a working visit in Russia in 1932 to 1933. After spending time in Japan between 1933 and 1936 due to enforced emigration, he taught at the Academy of Arts in Istanbul. He died in Istanbul in 1938.
