Arrangement:
Series is organized in 10 sub-series: AP140.S2.SS1 Architectural projects; AP140.S2.SS2 Dead projects; AP140.S2.SS3 Exhibitions; AP140.S2.SS4 Publications, lectures and writings; AP140.S2.SS5 Awards and honours; AP140.S2.SS6 Professional activities and associations; AP140.S2.SS7 Photographs and films; AP140.S2.SS9 Firms' administration; and AP140.S2.SS9 Office records. Arrangement within each sub-series is roughly chronological.

There is a gap in the numbering between the sub-series AP140.S2.SS7 Photographs and films and AP140.S2.SS9 Firms' administration due to a rearrangement of the fonds to make the classification easier to navigate and understand. The sub-series AP140.S2.SS8 was deleted and its content was merged with AP140.S2.SS7.
Language of material:
  • Documents are in English, German, Italian, Spanish and Japanese, with some French, Persian, Dutch, Chinese, Portuguese, Arabic, Turkish, Czech and Swedish.
