AP207.S1.2017.PR03
Description:
The project series documents the installation "Energy FREE TREE" designed by Pettena and presented at Museion in Bozen, in 2017. The installation consists of a tower measuring eight meters high by four meters wide. The tower is built with parts, including doors, fenders, exhaust pipes, and lights, and is meant to represent a Christmas tree standing next to the museum entrance during Christmas. "The work was, in fact, meant to trigger ‘mental shortcircuits [sic]’ in order to obtain a reaction so as to introduce the subject of environmental awareness and the need of using recycled materials to reduce damages to the environment as much as possible." [1] The project series contains a video, photographs of the installation, and two drawings.

Maisons de carton
Les familles étudient le potentiel créatif d’un matériau recyclé en bâtissant en carton des maisons et des constructions imaginaires. Inspirée par l’exposition 1973 : Désolé, plus d’essence (2007), Maisons de carton propose des façons novatrices de construire qui ont un impact réduit sur l’environnement.

AP154.S1.1979.PR01
Description:
Project series AP154.S1.1979.PR01, George & Annette Murphy Center at Asphalt Green, New York, N.Y. (1979), documents an executed project to recycle a municipal asphalt plant into a youth sports and arts center. Clients for the project were the New York City Department of General Services and the Neighborhood Committee for the Asphalt Green, chaired by Dr. George Murphy. The asphalt plant was a parabolic structure built in the 1940s by the firm Kahn and Jacobs. Pasanella + Klein worked on the adaptive reuse project with HOK, successors to Kahn and Jacobs. The transformed interior includes two gymnasia of different sizes, a running track, art and photography studios, offices, lockers, showers and a theatre. The design includes an on-site total energy plant. The project series consists of presentation drawings. References: Kerr, Laurie.

AP075.S1.1994.PR01
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project of a roof garden for the New Canadian Embassy at Leipziger Platz in Berlin, Germany. Oberlander worked on this project in from 1999-2005 with architectural firm Kuwabara, Payne, McKenna, Blumberg Architects. Oberlander's work for the project included a terrace at the Ambassador's Level (6th floor) with mounded evergreen white flowering groundcover azaleas, cascading roses hanging along the Leipzigerstrasse facade, and a green roof on top of the building. The concept of the landscaping of the green roof was to represente Canada's land of the north in an abstract form, simulating the river system of the MacKenzie River in the Northwest Territories, linking Alberta to the Arctic Ocean. She used black-glass panels to represente the water. The drainage for the green roof was also connected the drainage infrastructure of the building to recycle the water collected from the roof. The project series includes sketches and design development drawings for the green roof landscaping, planting details and irrigation details, presentation drawings from KPMB and drawings of the building used as reference. The project is also documented through research material, concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence, including with architects, consultants, contractors and clients, proposal, specifications, and press clippings about the project. The project series also includes sample of glass tiles used for the landscaping.

Hair Tent
AP144.S2.D76
Description:
File documents the Hair Tent, a temporary theatre structure which was to house performances of the musical 'Hair', in Holland, for David Convyers Productions Ltd. Cedric Price was hired to convert a tent into a theatre venue. The tent structure was designed for an audience of 1,200 and was to be used for a six-month period. Due to cost and time constraints, the materials were recycled: the seating came from a demolished cinema; the steel structure from a field near Hartlepool; and the mobile heating was provided by the Dutch Military (Cedric Price-Works II). Design development drawings show numerous plans and sections of the tent structure and structural components; a plan and section show the seating arrangements; a section through the tent shows various internal stackable structures; and an axonometric view of the site shows the main tent, a tin hut entrance bar, and military mobile heaters. Reprographic copies of construction drawings of a Cinerama and circus structure with details of trussing configurations, mast layout and anchor plans were possibly for reference purposes. Some material in this file was published in "Cedric Price Supplement", 'Architectural Design', vol. 40, (October 1970), 516, and Price, Cedric, 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 72, 76. Material in this file was produced between 1963 and 1971. Reference drawings included with the design development drawings are inscribed with the name L. Stromeyer, engineer, or Leonard Allen, architect. Tom Parkinson and Victor Spinetti are involved in the project. File contains design development drawings, photographic materials, and textual records.
