Project
AP144.S2.D54
Description:
File documents an exploration of use and circulation of open spaces and natural areas throughout the Borough of Hackney just outside London: Hackney Marsh, Springfield Park, London Fields, and Victoria Park. Price felt that the "[i]ncrease in the amount of leisure time combined with increased personal mobility ma[d]e it essential that available P.O.S. be considered in relation to each other and together with all other urban facilities available." Regional plans include a partially enlarged plan of an unidentified area (DR1995:0206:001, DR1995:0206:003, and DR1995:0206:004). Two marked-up drawings which indicate circulation systems. Material in this file was produced in 1962. File contains conceptual drawings.

Description:
These conceptual design sketches for the RIBA exhibition at the Heinz Gallery show the forms of piles used in coastline development in various configurations. These sketches do not represent a particular project, but rather depict an exploration of ideas which were of interest to Price from 1967 [?] to 1975 (Shubert, with Price).

Housings
AP185.S1
Description:
This project, 1998-2000, documents the conception and design of Housings, mass-customized prefabricated residences, by the architecture firm KOL/MAC. KOL/MAC began by digitally blending a typical 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom colonial house with a range of other objects or use cases. The result was six related houses that explored the relationship between customization and mass prefabrication. Housings relates to KOL/MAC’s exploration of what they call chimerical projects, where form and function are combined to create uniquely hybridized structures. The project records are largely in CAD formats, including Alias Wire, Maya, and IGES files; there are a number of raster image formats, including TIF, Alias pix, Mac Pict images, and JPEG. The materials include renderings, wireframe drawings, and still images of the various Housings structures. There is also a body of material from and related to the concrete manufacturer, YTONG, as well as a small amount of video material, which is only partially accessible due to format obsolescence.

Description:
This project for a guest house, Gachsaran, Iran, was possibly intended for foreign employees of an Iranian oil, exploration, and producing company. The guest house is divided into three sections: a two-storey wing containing the guest rooms; the entrance area where public facilities such as the dining room, lounge, bar, and terraces are located; and a servant's wing with servants' rooms surrounding a service yard. The guest rooms are approximately 200 sq. ft. each and include a full walk-in closet and private bathroom.
