OA+D Archives Honoring the past, celebrating the present, encouraging the future of Organic Architecture. But it's just the beginning.
(3)

The mission of the OAD Archives, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, is to honor the past, celebrate the present, and encourage the future of creative organic architecture and design through education, endorsement, and promotion. Our primary means of achieving this goal is through the publication of the Journal of Organic Architecture + Design and to actively advocate for the acquisition, retentio

n, preservation and conservation of the archives of design professionals whose work is/was based upon the philosophy of organic architecture and design. Our shared passion for furthering the education, appreciation, and preservation of archival materials associated with organic architecture and design was the impetus behind forming OAD Archives, Inc. Our combined archival collections have saved thousands of pieces related to a wide range of organic architects and designers. Every year, more and more materials are lost due to neglect or the lack of institutional interest for taking them on. In order to save these works, we need your help. Purchases of the Journal of Organic Architecture + Design help to support the ongoing acquisition of organic architecture and design-related archival materials and their preservation. If you have any drawings, artwork, blueprints, photographs, slides, publications, ephemera, correspondence, project files, or any other materials related to organic architecture and design, please contact us for our help in securing them for future study and appreciation for generations to come.

Brandoch Peters collection – OAD Archives

Svetlana’s slide box - probably made by Wes, her husband, but possibly by Gene Masselink. It features Wes’s logo. You can see how delicate the condition of the slides are, some were glass, mounted by OAD, to save the images. Svetlana’s notations can be seen in the index, mostly nature. We will share slides in a later post.

The OAD Archives were gifted the estate of Iovanna Lloyd Wright by her daughter Eve.

This is a small collection of her Hair Combs. Many have been customized to fit her style. Also, a small bracelet, that apparently matched the Hair comb.
