Subseries 1C: Photographs for Félix Candela: Engineer, Builder, Structural Artist, 1910s-2007 (mostly 1950-1969)
This subseries contains photographs, slides, and negatives that are arranged based on their use as research materials or published images for Félix Candela: Engineer, Builder, Structural Artist, a scholarly book on Candela and his work by Princeton professors Maria Garlock and David Billington, which was published by the Princeton University Art Museum in 2008, in conjunction with an exhibition of the same title that ran from October 10, 2008 through February 22, 2009. While materials in this subseries also depict the construction and completion of many of Candela's major building projects, their arrangement reflects their use in the book rather than their original order in Candela's personal papers. This subseries includes a group of images published in the book, arranged by its authors by chapter and marked with the corresponding figure number. Occasionally, images are accompanied by notes about their location in the original arrangement. Also present are topical photographic files based on major projects or types of structures, which formed focal points for the book.
Series 1: Professional Work, 1910s-2007 (mostly 1935-1997)
This series contains materials related to Félix Candela's professional work as an architect, structural engineer, and master builder, both for his own company and as a technical advisor for other firms. Included are many black-and-white and color photographs, slides, negatives, and transparencies showing Candela's finished structures and works under construction, along with some architectural drawings, sketches, and designs, and a smaller quantity of maps, calculations, and project files pertaining to specific buildings. Rather than serving as traditional architectural project files, the materials in this series document the design, construction, and completed forms of many of Candela's buildings, primarily through photographs, and secondarily, through Candela's architectural drawings and specifications, which provide insight into his design process. This series includes an original run of conceptual files on specific buildings, arranged by architectural feature or theme, that contain both photographic materials and architectural drawings. Also present is a group of slides and negatives of Candela's work, along with microfilms of technical articles related to his projects, that he organized separately by medium, and additionally, a group of Candela's photographic materials, which were later arranged based on their use for research and publication in a book by Maria Garlock and David Billington, Félix Candela: Engineer, Builder, Structural Artist (Princeton University Art Museum, 2008). These divisions were preserved in order to maintain contextual evidence regarding use and original organization. Researchers looking for photographs of a specific building should note that relevant materials may therefore be present in all three subseries.
Félix Candela Book Original Images, 1910s-2007
Contains a set of slides, photographs, and negatives from Candela's collection of personal and professional photographs that were published in Félix Candela: Engineer, Builder, Structural Artist, arranged by chapter in the order in which they appeared in the book, although there may be some minor variations from their layout in the final text.
