AP206.S1.1982.PR16
Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for clusters of housing blocks in Navi Mumbai, likely sometime in the 1980s or 1990s. The project, proposed for the Kalamboli region of the city, consisted of the site development of diamond shaped housing blocks, each with a sports field in its centre courtyard. Two circular commerce blocks were also planned for the neighbourhood, as well as spaces for a school, playground, public utilities and community services. The project is recorded through original drawings of site plans and elevations, probably dating from sometime in the 1980s-1990s. It should be noted that the previous name of Navi Mumbai was New Bombay, which is the name used on these materials.

Description:
This project series documents the Piazza San Nazaro, a public square in Milan, Italy. This project was realized. Riva worked on this project from 1989-1993 in collaboration with Giacomo Borella, Paolo Froncillo, Giovanni Drugman, and Franscesca Riva. Umberto Riva also designed the outdoor furnishings of the piazza, including the street lights and the base of a statue. The project was commissioned by the Metropolitana Milanese and was shown in the exhibition "Umberto Riva, sistemazioni urbane" in 1993, at the Pinacoteca civica Franscesco Podesti in Ancona. The project series contains studies and design development drawings, including a site plan, elevations, sections, plans, and details for the street lamps, as well as a small description for the project.

Projet
CI005.S1.1919.PR3
Description:
The post-First World War shortage of affordable housing led the city of Rotterdam to initiate low income dwelling developments to alleviate the crisis in housing for working class residents. Oud's involvement with the Rotterdam Housing Authority -- the Rotterdam Woningdienst -- allowed him to use public housing projects as a platform for his ideas about urban development, including this design for a semi-detached dwelling in reinforced concrete. Oud's plans were never realized as Rotterdam only experimented with concrete building projects later, in 1921 (Taverne et al. 2001,191, 210-212). The project series includes Oud's drawings of plans for the Double Worker's Dwelling in Reinforced Concrete.

River Clyde Competition
AP144.S2.D90
Description:
File documents an unsuccessful competition entry for the River Clyde Study & Ideas Competition, organised by the City of Glasgow, Scotland, for the rehabilitation of sections of the river bank. Cedric Price's entry proposed the conversion of existing coal yards and abandoned docks with a "metropolitan farm" including a food-growing complex, fish and hydroponic farms, and marketing facilities, along with a new public river transportation system. An existing conditions survey and a map show the docks and areas along the River Clyde. Design development drawings of diagrams and charts explore the various activities and the accommodation of each activity within the design limitations associated with it. Components of the plan are organized by activity type, location, and the amount of time required per activity. The activities shown include shopping, observation, gardening, employment, sports, and retraining. Other components of the plan are shown in detail: housing, the city farm, research center, a ferry and ferry stop, and a floating jungle. A diagram plots the travel time from the project area to various locations within Glascow. A public survey card monitors the project. One plan compares the size of this project site with other sites including that of Abu Dhabi Breakwater (AP144.S2.D94). Reprographic copies show regional relevance, and explore "test-bed" areas for activities such as forestry and agriculture. Some material in this file was published in 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 36, 39. Material in this file was produced between 1973 and1988, but predominantly in 1973. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, cartographic materials, and textual records.

Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape design for Schuylkill Falls, a public housing development on Ridge Avenue, in the East Falls neighbourhood of Philadelphia. Oberlander worked on this project from 1952-1955, after she was recruited by architect Oskar Stonorov. Oberlander worked on the landscaping with Dan Kiley. The project was initally divided in six phases and was planned to spread across five city blocks. One of the phases included the construction of two sixteen-storey housing towers, but only one was built. The building was demolished in 1996. The project series contains five landscape plans for all five city blocks project and a set of landscape specifications, the first written by Oberlander.
