Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Series consists of the architectural drawings and maps of buildings which demonstrated Mr. Strutt's interest in weight-efficiency exploration. One of the more significant projects in the series is the Strutt House, which utilized the first wooden hyperbolic paraboloid roof in Canada. His research into non-orthogonal geometries and computerized design directly led to the twelve connected network design solution of the Rochester House. In addition, his hurricane and earthquake resistant housing solutions were also developed out of weight-efficiency studies of materials and the use of stabilizing geometrics. Photographs exist for the Waring House, Baldock House, Hanlan House, Strutt House, Kemper House, Gerhart House, and Rochester House.
