Summary:

The project records consist of drawings and project documentation created by architect Peter Yeadon for the Prix de Rome in Architecture, which he received in 1999. The designs were inspired by his trip to Rome and depict the life of a fictional character, Karl, who immigrates to Rome from Canada. While in Rome, this character records, designs, and builds new Roman monuments. The complete works were entitled "Karl: An Architectural Narrative."

Biographical note:

Peter Yeadon was born in 1965 in Truro, Nova Scotia. He studied engineering (1987) at Dalhousie University, as well as environmental design (BEDS, 1987) and architecture (M.ARCH, 1989) at the Technical University of Nova Scotia (TUNS), now part of Dalhousie. Yeadon’s work has focused on advanced materials research and how those materials can drive innovation. These include studies in smart materials, nanomaterials and other programmable substances. In 2008, Yeadon founded the practice Decker Yeadon with Martina Decker in New York City. The practice experimented with nanotechnologies and their potential application in architecture, including a new type of building brise-soleil that moved like a muscle using nanotubes to control solar heat gain. The practice has since dissolved. Peter Yeadon is currently a professor of industrial design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he has worked since 2002. He previously taught at Cornell University and the University of Toronto. He currently lives and works in New York City, where he runs a practice called Yeadon Space Agency. Yeadon was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1999 and has received numerous other awards throughout his career.
