Shantasea Development
1967-1970
File 72
File documents an unexecuted project for a multiple use building in Birmingham, England, for Shantasea Limited. Cedric Price resigned as the architect for the project and took on the role of architect for Birmingham and Midland Institute (BMI), one of the proposed tenants for the Shantasea project. The multi-functional centre was to include a theatre, TV studios, an audio-visual exhibition area, retail stores, offices, a meeting hall, a gallery, a seminar area, a library, and parking within an approx. 3,500,000 square-foot area. Drawings include sections showing preliminary circulation patterns, and design development drawings for seven alternate schemes, each with different total square footage. Volumetric studies compare functions and areas for each design. Diagrammatic plans and sections explore vertical and horizontal circulation patterns, alternate layouts for parking, and the relationship between areas of the building for BMI and those shared by BMI and other tenants. Material in this file was produced between 1967 and 1970.
File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, and textual records.
