Description:
- This etching of a fireworks construction or macchina represents a public celebration of the making of a poison antidote "che si fà nella Città di Venezia" (as it is done in Venice). The macchina consists of a pavilion raised on a base. The pavilion appears to be square, with a central opening a large smoking vat of theriaca. The top storey appears to be octagonal and is crowned by a tent. The relief on the front of the octagon shows a view of the Piazza San Marco and the Doge's Palace from the Molo.

AP178.S1.2001.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the Casa em Palma de Maiorca in Palma de Maiorca, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 28/00. The office assigned the date 2001 to this project. The project site is located in Palma, a Spanish island in the Mediterranean sea. The summer house is divided into three blocks, each divided into smaller parts. The two-story house was built on sloping land and completed in 2008. Collaborators on this project were Atsushi Ueno, Fafel Moranta, and Miquel Capllonch. The eastern wing includes the master bedroom and guest bedroom. The western wing has three bedrooms and a living room. The western block connects the northeast and eastern wings. The northeast block, with two rooms and a living room, hosts the housekeeper. The private spaces are all located on the upper section and the public sections are on the ground level. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, preliminary drawings, plans, working drawings, and technical drawings. Textual material includes project documentation and correspondence.

Résumé:
The Ulrich Königs Chemnitz Stadium project records, 1995-1996, document the competition entry and design for an innovative stadium in Chemnitz, Germany. The project was a collaboration between Peter Kulka, Ulrich Königs, Cecil Balmond, and Arup Group, Ltd. The design was primarily driven by the theoretical and methodological processes made possible by computer-aided design, rather than aesthetics. The project records have both digital and physical components, which chiefly include renderings, wireframe drawings, digital 3D models, photographs, slides, video, and a booklet.

Description:
The Projects series, 1911-1973, consists of Oud's work on 67 projects, mainly within The Netherlands, as well as within Germany, Czechoslovakia and the United States. The Projects Series includes Oud's early conceptual drawings, such as sketches, as well as design development drawings, such as elevations and plans. The series includes photographs of Oud’s realized buildings as well as photographs of Oud's designs. The Projects Series is particularly strong in Oud's work on social housing projects while he served as municipal architect for the Rotterdam Housing Authority from 1918-1933, including his works on standardization and mass produced housing estates for low income residents. The series is also strong in Oud's designs for major public buildings and post-World War Two reconstruction, such as the Hofplein design. The series includes Oud's designs for private residences, World War Two memorials and competitions. The series also includes photographs taken of Oud exhibit models and his interior designs.
