AP075.S1.1952.PR02
Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape design for the Mill Creek Public Housing Complex between 40th Street, Aspen Street, and Fairmount Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Oberlander worked on this project in the early 1950s as Dan Kiley's associate. They both were consulting for Louis Kahn's office, Kahn, McAllister, Braik, & Day. The first phase of the project consisted of a complex of three seventeen-storey apartment towers accomodating 218 units on a four-acre site. The landscape design consisted of a system of pedestrian areas to connect the site with the city, including a central alley linking Fairmount Avenue to a common green space. Trees to provide shade were planted around the parking spaces and the housing towers. The project was completed in 1954, but most of the landscaping by Kiley and Oberlander was never realized. The Mill Creek complex was demolished in 2002 to make space for the new low-rise public housing development. The project series contains only two reprographic copies of landscape plans.

CI005.S1.1914.PR3
Description:
In 1914, the Society for the Advancement of Architecture, with architect H.P. Berlage acting as jury member, held a competition for the design of its public baths. Although Oud did not submit his designs, he created plans for a bathhouse with three round-arch portals. The design was for a fairly simple and functional symmetrical building. He considered his design as indebted to Hendrik Petrus Berlage’s Stock Exchange (Taverne et al. 2001, 109). The project series includes a photograph of Oud's plan for Public Baths.

AP206.S1.1986.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Maharaja Aggarsain Public School in Kurukshetra, India from 1986-1987. The project consisted of a U-shaped building that surrounded a large playground courtyard and included a dormitory block on the west, a classroom block on the east and an auditorium block that joined the other two. In some schemes, a swimming pool block completes the square at the open end. The elevations facing the interior playground were lined with verandas that had large, repeated archway openings. The other elevations followed this style through the use of arched windows and doors. Additional courtyards placed evenly throughout the east and west blocks created communal spaces within the school. The project is recorded through drawings, most of which are originals, consisting of plans, elevations, sections and details dating from 1986-1987.
