Content Description
The records consist of project records produced by Joel Sanders Architects (JSA) and the academic and research files and slides of Joel Sanders. There is some overlap between JSA project files and the academic research files. The research interests of Joel Sanders often led to projects and exhibitions carried out by Joel Sanders Architects. Early research notes and writings of a project can be found in the academic files, and project records documenting the realized project or exhibition can be found in the JSA project files.
Series I is comprised of project files for JSA, including sketches, drawings, photographs, audiovisual material, and other project records, including correspondence, contracts, memoranda, notes, proposals, and reports.
Series II is comprised of academic files, including administrative and course files from courses taught by Joel Sanders at the Parsons School of Design, Princeton University, and Yale School of Architecture; notes documenting Sanders’ undergraduate and graduate career; lecture transcripts and notes; grants and proposals; and drafts and research notes for two of Sanders’ major publications and presentations, Curtain Wars and Stud.
Series III is comprised of slides used for lectures and research by Joel Sanders.
