Blood Transfusion Centers

  • CA CAC 58-1-248
  • Subseries
  • between 1977 and 1978
  • Part of Moshe Safdie

This project involved the design of a series of blood transfusion centers for the Government of the Ivory Coast. The design incorporated a common architectural vocabulary so that each center was an identifiable part of a network of centers throughout the country. The outward appearance had a repetitive crystal-like geometry with steeply sloping roofs covered with gold-coloured straw, with large cantilevers and continuous verandas. For the Yamoussoukro prototype, the center facilities were organized around a central court which contained a large pool, surrounded by a cantilevered, column-free arcade.

Atrium On The Plaza

  • CA CAC 58-1-251
  • Subseries
  • between 1978 and 1980
  • Part of Moshe Safdie

The name of this project was derived from its location, adjacent to a "plaza" shopping center outside of downtown Kansas City, and the design of the units which have as their focal point a two-story, 200 square foot glass enclosed atrium. The project is composed of forty luxury condominium units positioned on a steeply sloped site. Because of the slope, uphill units will have spectacular views over the roofs of the buildings below. In addition, the slope helps to enclose internal gardens and outdoor terraces which open directly from the atrium to afford more privacy for its residents. The highlighted enclosed atrium can be used as a green house or garden room extension of the living area, and also serves as a solar collector during the winter months. During the summer it is protected from overheating by a retractable exterior shade.

Callahan Residence

  • CA CAC 58-1-258
  • Subseries
  • between 1978 and 1981
  • Part of Moshe Safdie

Alston and Elivor Callahan owned a piece of property atop Red Mountain overlooking Birmingham, Alabama. The Callahans requested a house that would give them the sense of living in a control tower, similar to the one at Dulles Airport in Washington, DC, to overlook the city. Safdie's proposal comprised of a series of intersected cubes rotated at 45 degrees with the horizontal. The unique geometry with an elongated rectangular plan suited this unusual site. The design approach resulted in an extroverted yet transparent building that commands its surroundings.
