Title:
OCEAN reference files
Level of archival description:
Series
Extent and medium:
- 203 digital files (611 MB)
Scope and content:
Series consist of records associated with different projects devised by OCEAN and OCEAN North prior to 1999 and retained as reference material by Johan Bettum, who did not collaborate on every project.
Records occasionally include some photographs, but for the most part are images from work done with CAD software. These include plans, diagrams, renderings and views (sections, perspectives) of buildings, landscapes, exhibition scenography, and exhibited items. The amount and type of materials varies largely between projects.
Files were transferred to CCA on a CD and their timestamps suggests that materials were copied for reference purpose in the first few months of 1998. The CD cover bears the date of June 3rd 1999. Projects date from 1994 to 1998.
Projects included in the reference files are:
Barbican, London (OCEAN Helsinki): likely an exhibition design.
Museum, Buenos Aires (OCEAN U.K., 1997): a building design for a competition.
Finnish Embassy, Canberra (OCEAN Oslo & Helsinki, 1996): an international architectural competition entry.
