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.

Five architectural drawings (ink line drawing on paper, photocopied). Client: 'Casa Clapp', Retired American tea merchant. Brief: Design, documentation, construction; the brief was given to Thiedeke on the back of an envelope with the words 'Taj Mahal'. The building was never fully built. Working drawings sequentially numbered WD. 1 to WD.5. Dated Feb 1971.

Two architectural drawings (ink line drawings on paper, photocopied). Client: Philip Pittluck, New York accountant. Brief: Design, documentation and construction of a residence for a retired couple; Budget $40k. This was the second commission within the town centre that was designed by Thiedeke. With a cement shortage, Thiedeke used bovedas. The house replaced an adobe ruin. Footings were one metre of deep stone wall to absorb earthquake movement; walls were single brick infill, concrete ring beams top and bottom, concrete columns poured within wall thickness; and roof was brick vaulting.

Two architectural drawings (ink line drawings on paper). Client: New York film producer, Tibetan art collector. Brief: House that fuses cultures. The architecture of neighbouring regional towns often have Asian aesthetics. This experimental design, given a Japanese form, emerged as pure Mexican. Mexican pyramids are the base for temples and there are two 'temples': 1. living areas and 2. master bed, built on a stone pyramidal base, housing 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. The living room 'temple' structure was constructed from 80-year-old telephone poles.
