Title:

Summary of current ideas: Charts and conceptual sketches

Date:

1960-1985 ?

Description:

This group of drawings entitled "Summary of current ideas" constitutes a graphic summary of Price's design concepts explored through an analysis of his own projects, although it is unclear which projects are represented. Simplified "iconic" thumbnail sketches of projects are shown loosely organized in chart format (DR1995:0307:003-006). Each thumbnail sketch is keyed to specific "factors" (DR1995:0307:002) such as site dimensions, ease of transportability, type of structure (ie. air structure, pre-fabricated structure), and state of structure (ie. existing or new structure). A doodle of Price, shown both in elevation and plan, is included (DR1995:0307:001).
