Arizona Architecture from the Archives
Celebrating the Arizona Centennial with an Exhibition of Four Architects from the Archives of the Architecture & Environmental Design Library at the Arizona State University Libraries.
Although the Library’s display area is modest in size, the Architecture and Environmental Design Library was very pleased to be able to display some of its own material from its archival collections about distinctive Arizona-designed architecture in central Arizona. A component of this effort is to celebrate the centennial of Arizona’s statehood. Furthermore, we hoped to provide an opportunity for our researchers to see the types of architecture-related artifacts we have in our archives (e.g., original blueprints, construction photographs, early/late architect-produced renderings, presentation boards, hand-painted images, and the like) and which are available for their potential research.
The exhibit featured the four architects as follows:
| Through February 21, 2012 | Albert Chase McArthur — Architect , Arizona Biltmore Hotel + Cottages (Phoenix)
Albert Chase McArthur is the architect of the Arizona Biltmore Hotel which opened in Phoenix in 1929. The Library’s archives include sets of blueprints, sections, plans, renderings, construction photographs, and the like of both the both the hotel and cottages. |
| February 22 – February 29, 2012: | William P. Bruder — Architect, Burton Barr Phoenix Central Library |
| March 1 – March 8, 2012: | Alfred Newman Beadle — Architect, Case Study Apartment # 1 and other Phoenix mid-century buildings |
