Scope and content:
This subseries documents Frampton's activities as Graham Foundation Fellow at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS), including the development and design of IAUS’s only built project, the Low-Rise High-Density (LRHD) housing project in Brooklyn, New York. Also documented in this series are some of Frampton's other activities for IAUS. Frampton was not only co-founding editor of IAUS's magazine, "Oppositions" (1973), but also served as an editor for all of IAUS's publications; their journal, book series, and catalogue series. IAUS also served as a cultural space that held lectures for highschool and undergraduate students.
Materials in this subseries consist of elevation and site drawings for the LRHD housing project and photographic materials for MoMA’s exhibition on the LRHD. Textual documentation is comprised of IAUS’s original application to the Ford Foundation and drafts of Frampton’s writings on the LRHD as well as IAUS meeting minutes, IAUS by-laws, announcement pamphlets, booklets, IAUS research programs and outlines of seminar sessions, correspondence, postcards, and posters. The subseries also includes an IAUS watch.
