Présentation du contenu

File documents an unrealized project for a breakwater in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Cedric Price collaborated with civil and structural engineering firm, Harris & Sutherland, to make a floating breakwater into a 'sea garden'. The design integrates the breakwater, which protects the beach, with imaginative leisure activities: moorings for 800 boats, a pontoon composed of a continuous chain of dinghies, an illuminated "time" fountain, a floating grand stand, drifting feature buoys, a coral walk and water garden. Cedric Price describes the breakwater as "effortlessly towing its floating leisure facilities and toys along it" (Cedric Price-Works II, 72). Design development diagrams and charts explore the various components and activities. Many conceptual drawings and perspective sketches are included within the textual records. Some material in this file was published in 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 72, 77. Material in this file was produced between 1971 and 1989, but predominantly between 1973 and 1976.

File contains design development drawings, presentation drawings, and textual records.
