Part of Graeme Thiedeke Papers
Three working drawings (ink line drawing on paper, photocopied). Client: John and Linda Keogh. Brief: Design, documentation and construction of a residence/studio for renowned Canadian puppeteers. This was the first architectural commission Thiedeke did in Mexico. Due to a cement shortages at the time, Thiedeke had to rethink the concrete roof as a semi circular brick vault (Boveda). This was achieved without formwork and finished within one week. Using bovedas revived a tradition that had all but disappeared. Working drawings sequentially numberd WD.1 to WD-3. Dated, 29 Jan 1970.
