Description:
- This elevation is for the tomb of Benedict XIV. The monument is set in a semi-circular niche and follows the type of papal tomb established by Bernini, with a sculpture of the standing pope raised on a pedestal above a doorway and allegorical sculptures to either side. The two flaps show variant designs for the lower portion of the monument. On flap 1 the putti are placed beside the the virtue on the left. On flap 2 the drapery above the doorway is more pronounced and the virtue on the right is almost nude. The virtues are seated rather than standing.

CI001.S2.D6
Description:
The portfolio 'Oeuvre de C. Rohault de Fleury', published in 1884 (DR1974:0002:029), is introduced by a succinct 'Notice Biographique', the author of which remains unknown. It provides valuable information on his family background and a narrative description of his major works (including unexecuted projects), illustrated by the accompanying unbound prints. The commentary is particulary informative concerning Charles Rohault de Fleury's work at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, the 1859 opera house project for the Théâtre Imperiale de l'Opera, and his innovative use of iron (reinforced) floors and roof trusses in both his public and domestic projects. Another copy of this portfolio is located in the CCA library. Album DR1974:0002:026:001-038 (1854-1858) contains drawings of architectural ornament by Charles and/or Georges Rohault de Fleury. Some of the drawing are possibly studies of ornament for Charles' architectural projects of the 1850's such as Hôtel Soltykoff, although others appear to be typical student drawings of classical architecture and ornament executed by Georges. Included are twelve drawings of architectural ornament and sculpture submitted by Georges to a newly introduced 'dessin' Prix d'emulation at the École des beaux-arts (see series CI001.S1: Architetural Education).
[ca. 1825-1884]

CI005.S1.1949.PR2
Description:
Oud was commissioned to design the Tweede Vrijzinnig Christelijk Lyceum. Oud designed the school within the larger parameters of the Reconstruction Plan for Sportlaan; he presented his design to the board in 1950. Oud's design aligned with reconstruction plans, except that he designed a four- rather than a three-storey building. Oud's layout featured three blocks: one for classrooms and an auditorium, another for classrooms, and the last one for a gymnasium – this building connected to the main wing by circular stairs. Each of the three separate blocks was surrounded by a playground. The street side facades were closed in contrast to the open facades facing the playground. Oud's design also featured visual art and sculptures (Taverne et al. 2001, 533-535). Project series includes plans and photographs of facades and aerial views. , 12 drawings 11 photographs

Projet
AP207.S1.2012.PR04
Description:
The project series documents "Breathing Architecture," an installation initially presented at the Galleria Federico Luger in Milan, in 2012. The installation consists of a square shaped sheet of plaster placed on a wall giving the impression that a portion of the gallery wall has been lifted to create an opening in order to allow it to breathe. This installation has similarities to Pettena's earlier project "Grass Architecture" for Trigon '72 and "Parete "Branchia"" in 1999. "[...] here the work, which on this occasion takes up the whole of a wall all by itself, has more the significance of a gesture, of a sculpture that retains memories of architecture, and at the same time of the school of conceptual art in which Pettena was also formed." [1] This installation was also later presented at the UMOCA in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2013, and at the exhibition "Architetture Naturali/Gianni Pettena" at the Kunst Meran/Merano Arte, in Meran, in 2017. The project series contains photographs of the first and the second editions of the installation and a drawing. It also contains photographs of the 2017 edition that also shows Pettena's other installation "Paper/Midwestern Ocean" presented in the same exhibition.
