Volumes containing honors designs and theses; an interscholastic competition; and
merit solutions for landscape design, 1912-1922. Also, student projects and drawings,
and photographs of projects, 1903-1967; three banners and one plaque for the Inter

primarily copied from published works; and student projects for the Dept. of City

such as Sage College, Boardman and Cascadilla Halls, Llenroc, the Grant Mansion, Giles
House and student apartments, as well as proposed residential halls and academic buildings.
Also, drawings of historic European and classical structures, and architectural elements.
Among the students and architects whose work is represented are Carráere & Hastings,
Richard C. Murdock (Cornell University Class of 1927), John Wellborn Root (Cornell
University Class of 1909), and Robert J. Eidlitz (Cornell University Class of 1885).
Includes design problems, 1922-1954.
Includes Baird Prize competition "Place Plate" artwork from Design 112, February
1932. The winning design (not included) was used by the Wedgwood Company for a set
of twelve plates depicting Cornell scenes.
Drawing on canvas by Richard Andrews Tissington (written RA Tissington), who graduated
from the College of Architecture in 1900. According to a 1901 publication of Cornell
Alumni News, the drawing, entitled "Design for a Ceiling," was the First Prize Drawing
in the Cornell Traveling Fellowship Competition. It was also featured in a exhibit
for the Convention of the Architectural League of America May 23-25, 1901. The drawing
itself is approximately 48"x60"and is extremely fragile.
Framed rendering of a design for an "Alumni Hall - East Elevation. Cornell University"
created as a student project by Samuel R. DeLong, Class of 1895, Architecture.
A 2000 "Praxis2" booklet compiled as the final report of a collaborative Architecture/Planning
Course working with the Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services on a site design for
a housing development on West Hill in Ithaca, N.Y.

Scope and Contents
Miesuse is a design research project developed in collaboration with a team of architecture
students at Cornell University between January and May 2006. The project is part of
an investigation on techniques of formal production in architecture, and it seeks
to establish lines of continuity and transformation on the basis of spatial concepts
developed by Mies van der Rohe during the period 1920-1945.
