Description:
The three portfolios of "Croquis", originally attributed to Hubert Rohault de Fleury, but probably also including work by Charles, are particularly informative of the range of artistic and architectural interests of these architects. While some of the drawings in these portfolios may be travel sketches or based on travel sketches (Charles is known to have visited some of the locations depicted (1)), the majority are probably copied or adapted from books and prints. In some cases, these sources have been identified. The stylistic range of the drawings is eclectic; in addition to the expected Classical material, Gothic, Romanesque, Islamic, Exotic Revival (namely Etruscan and Egyptian), Renaissance and Baroque periods and styles as well as contemporary 19th century architecture are all represented. The subject matter is equally varied. DR1974:0002:032:001-066, two portfolios, includes arabesque ornament (some from Palazzo del Te and Palazzo Ducal in Mantua (2)), Islamic ornament motifs, tile patterns, Sicilian architectural subjects - mainly church interiors, and stonework and woodwork from Romanesque and Gothic structures . DR1974:0002:031:001-055, three portfolios, contains drawings of classical figures, Christian imagery and architectural sculpture from antique, medieval [?] and 19th century sources, sculpture from the 16th century sepulchral monument of Maximillian I, Italian Classical structures and contemporary classically-inspired subject matter including a number of Parisian fountains and monuments, and several English townhouses. DR1974:0002:030:001-065, four portfolios, includes drawings of Classical, Gothic and Exotic Revival buildings and interiors as well as a number of drawings of non-architectural subject matter including military subjects - fortification, armaments, soldiers, and revolutionary battle scenes - and topographic views. A folder of Italian views and buildings in this portfolio may have been intended for publication. The designs for interiors, Empire furniture, garden structures and several of the buildings are probably original designs by Hubert. (1) A description of Charles' travels based on his sketchbooks held by the Académie d'architecture is found in Académie d'architecture, 'Catalogue des collection' (Paris: Académie d'architecture, 1988) 35-36 and 230-241. (2) These drawings were copied from Wilhelm Zahn, 'Gemalte Ornamente von Julio Romano' (s.l., s.n, ca. 1833)., The three portfolios of "Croquis" were originally attributed to Hubert Rohault de Fleury, but probably also including work by Charles. The source and purpose of many of these drawings is unclear; some may be record drawings and travel sketches or based on travel sketches, but the majority are probably copied or adapted from books and prints. The stylistic range and subject matter of the drawings is broad and eclectic: arabesques, Islamic ornament, stonework and woodwork from Romanesque and Gothic structures (DR1974:0002:032:001-066); classical and Christian imagery, architectural sculpture from antique, medieval [?] and 19th century sources, Italian Classical structures, nineteenth century classically-inspired subject matter (DR1974:0002:031:001-055); non-architectural subject matter including military subjects, topographic views, and Italian views and buildings, possibly intended for publication (DR1974:0002:030:001-065). Portfolio, DR1974:0002:030:001-065 also includes interiors, Empire furniture, garden structures and Classical, Gothic and Exotic Revival buildings, some of which are probably original designs by Hubert Rohault de Fleury.

CI005.S1.1943.PR1
Description:
The director of the De Nederlanden van 1845 insurance company, J.G.H. Sauveplanne, commissioned Oud with the design of a memorial for The Hague to celebrate the company's 100-year founding. The planned commemoration was kept secret as a surprise to the inhabitants and ultimately its construction was interrupted by the advent of the Second World War. Oud created a design in 1944, which was then altered to propose the creation of a Memorial in Meer en Bosch Park. His revised plan consisted of a central pillar located at the meeting point of the park's six footpaths. The central pillar is also decorated with groups of sculptures and inscription outlining the history of The Hague (Taverne et al. 2001, 451-452). Project series includes plans and sketches of the memorial.

CI005.S1.1942.PR1
Description:
Dissatisfied with the original plans by architect Van Nieuwenhuyzen for the construction of the Spaarbank, the Rotterdam Town Plan Advisory Bureau commissioned Oud to instead design the bank in 1942 with Van Nieuwenhuyzen acting as adviser. Oud presented his original design in 1942: it featured a five-storey building with a facade of glazed brick, a frosted glass ceiling in the main hall and chromium- and metal- plated window frames. Oud limited his use of decorations in his revised plan, assigning artist, Aart van den IJssel, to create symbolic animal sculptures. Oud also designed some of its furniture (Taverne et al. 2001, 437-439). Project series includes photographs of the furniture for the Spaarbank as well as plans.

Projet
AP178.S1.1990.PR02
Description:
This project series documents the Parque de Santo Domingo de Bonaval in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 3/90. The office assigned the date 1990 to this project. The project was for the Santo Domingo de Bonaval Park, located in the gardens of the Convent of Santo Domingo de Bonaval and an abandoned cementery. The park was part of the construction of the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporânea and was understood as an extension of it. The design was a collaboration between landscape architect Isabel Aguirre and Álvaro Siza. There was also a restoration component to the project which included restoring the pavement, paths, fountains and walls. The park, measuring 37 047 square metres, included an Eduardo Chillida sculpture. Siza and Aguirre decided not to include trash bins in the park and designed fifty-six benches. The project received the Premio Nacional de Arquitectura Manuel de la Dehesa award in 1997. Documenting this project are studies, preliminary drawings, plans and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, notes and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models, project site and built project.
