Simmons Hall est une résidence universitaire primée, conçue par l’architecte Steven Holl, sur le campus du Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) à Cambridge. Inspiré d’une éponge de mer et de son concept de porosité, l’immeuble se distingue autant par sa structure audacieuse que par son objectif de favoriser l’interaction sociale.

Projet
Applausi [Applause] (1968)
AP207.S1.1968.PR05
Description:
This project series documents Pettena's design for "Applausi", a suitcase split in half to create two flashing signs with the word "Applausi". The signs were designed for the music performance by Vittorio Gelmetti, "La descrittione del gran paese" a post-pop opera for which Pettena was also in charge of the scene direction. The performance was presented at the 6th Festival of Avant-Garde Music at the Teatro Biondo, in Palermo, in December 1968. The signs were placed on each side of the stage, toward the audience. "The text, together with others that indicated the piano, the singer and the cello, reminded the audience of the habits of an illiterate public participating in a televised show." [1] The "Applausi" signs were also presented in the exhibition "The living currency" in Varsaw, at the Teatr Dramatyczny in 2010, and at the 6th Berlin Biennale at the Hau1, Die lebende Münze, in 2010. The project series contains photographs of the 'Applausi' signs, a drawing of the sign, and a draft poster showing the display of the stage for Vittorio Gelmetti performance at the 6th Festival of Avant-Garde Music. The project series also includes photographs of the music performance, a video of Pettena and the sign at the Berlin Biennale in 2010, and project descriptions in English and Italian.

Projet
AP056.S1.1988.PR08
Description:
This project series documents the Dome Productions offices and studio in Toronto from 1988-1989. The office identified the project number as 8804. This project consisted of a two-level office and studio area inside Toronto's SkyDome for the production company that was owned by The Sports Network (TSN). The main purpose of this space was to broadcast sports live from the stadium, but offices for producing, accounting, and marketing were also included. The two floors followed the curved shape of the stadium and were connected to one another by staircases. Visitors entered via large, glass doors into the reception area on the lower level, where they could move to the main lounge with its curved cappuccino bar, integrated into the main staircase. The lower level also held equipment rooms, fan rooms, editing areas, storage and offices. The upper level included two announcing booths, video editing suites, production spaces and conference rooms. The walls were composed of painted gypsum board but granite touches throughout stayed true to the concrete look of the stadium. Aluminum, steel, wood and sandblasted glass were also featured heavily throughout. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1988-1989. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, details, elevations, sections, axonometric drawings, and structural drawings. The photographs show the finished interiors of the project.
