Scope and Contents

The Planning and Urban Desing Project Records series includes project materials from planning projects Karen Alschuler worked on as part of SOM, independently, as part of SMWM, and after the merger with Perkins + Will. These projects include manuscript materials, correspondence, meeting notes, precedent reports, interim and final reports, drawings (including sketches, site analysis, alternatives development, and final plans). The series also contains photogrphs and slides, models, and some notebooks, separated by project. Materials associated with The Planning Game are also included in this series-- the materials could include game pieces, photographs and slides, finished Game workshop panels, introductory materials, and follow up materials. Many of the projects also contain born digital items, which are listed under each project. Access to digital files on original carriers is prohibited; users will be provided with access copies.
