AP206.S1.1985.PR07
Description:
This project series documents a housing study for Dr. Bhimrao Ambedker University in Lucknow, India around 1985. This project consisted of multi-storey buildings arranged in clusters. The buildings had three apartments on each floor and were joined to create common courtyards. Diamond shaped buildings with centre courtyards were also investigated for a different area of the campus, as well as a nursery school, shopping complex, administrative block and information tower. The architect also made recommendations to build facilities near the campus for recycling, waste water, vegetables and livestock, stating that doing so would avoid the natural occurrence of slums that served a similar purpose. The project is recorded through original drawings of site, floor and landscaping plans, as well as elevations and photographic negatives of the project model, likely dating from around 1985.

Projet
AP206.S1.1975.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Aditya Prakash's proposal for an alternative plan for Chandigarh, India, which came to be known as the Linear City. Prakash began developing and advocating for this idea around the early 1970s. The Linear City had two fundamental ideas at its core. The first was to raise the roadways in Chandigarh (or any future city) 10-12 feet from ground level. This, he proposed, would separate vehicular traffic from pedestrians, eliminating all the hazardous impacts of traffic on daily life. The large part of the drawings for this project show sector plans and city blocks with evenly dispersed roundabout roadways as major transit hubs, wrapping around but high above centres of pedestrian activity that included shops, markets and green spaces. The sale of the land below the roadways would pay for the upheaval. He also recommended building this city only a few sectors deep, but endlessly expanding it length-wise, with a raised canal along one side to provide an additional transpiration network and irrigation. The second fundamental idea of this city was the creation of self-sustaining sectors in the city plan, advocating that each neighbourhood should have the infrastructure to provide food and recycling for its residents. He fervently argued for the reimagination of modernist Chandigarh by incorporating sustainable, local traditions - the rural should exist in harmony with the urban. In opposition to Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, he believed areas for recycling, animal husbandry, and growing food should be incorporated into the fabric of the city.[1] This project is recorded largely through original drawings of city plans, perspectives and axonometric views detailing Prakash's new vision for the city. It seems that many of the perspectives were drawn by family friend Sandeep Virmani, after listening to Prakash's ideas.[2] The project is also recorded through photographs, negatives and slides showing plans and the project model. A small amount of notes and an article on the project are also included.

Olzweg
AP193.S3
Description:
Series 3, Olzweg, 2006, relates to a competition proposal conceptualized in 2006 for an extension to the Fond Régional d’Art Contemporain (FRAC) in Orléans, France. The records contain images of plans, elevations, sections, and renderings of the project and the robot. There are also pictures of the model and an animated rendering of different 3D model views. The FRAC competition sought an emblematic extension that would complement the original 18th century building hosting the collection. R&Sie(n)’s project earned second place in the competition. The project takes its name from Holzwege a book from Heidegger inspired by the paths that winds through the forest. It consists of a labyrinth of recycled glass sticks, which appeared to be “glued” to the existing building and courtyard. The glass comes from recycled bottles provided by the neighborhood inhabitants. R&Sie(n) sees this as a form of criticism of France’s relation to wine consumption through its materialization. The labyrinth is progressively constructed and rearranged by a robotic arm and randomized, interactive software continuously reprogramming its parameters during construction.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction vertical structure prototype to install on skyscrapers and communication towers. This design was recycled for other Abalos & Herreros projects, such as for the Residual water treatment plant, “El Chaparral”, Guadarrama (AP164.S1.1986.D5.SD3) and for the Centro de Calculo de Telefónica, Madrid (AP164.S1.1989.D1). It was also transformed into a water tower (Torre de agua) in 1990. The firm identified this project as number 48. Documenting the project are design development drawings and notes.
