Welcome to the Archives of The Paul Rudolph Institute for Modern Architecture. The purpose of this online collection is to function as a tool for scholars, students, architects, preservationists, journalists and other interested parties. The archive consists of photographs, slides, articles and publications from Rudolph’s lifetime; physical drawings and models; personal photos and memorabilia; and contemporary photographs and articles.

Some of the materials are in the public domain, some are offered under Creative Commons, and some  are owned by others, including the Paul Rudolph Estate. Please speak with a representative of The Paul Rudolph Institute for Modern Architecture before using any drawings or photos in the Archives. In all cases, the researcher shall determine how to appropriately publish or otherwise distribute the materials found in this collection, while maintaining appropriate protection of the applicable intellectual property rights.

In his will, Paul Rudolph gave his Architectural Archives (including drawings, plans, renderings, blueprints, models and other materials prepared in connection with his professional practice of architecture) to the Library of Congress Trust Fund following his death in 1997. A Stipulation of Settlement, signed on June 6, 2001 between the Paul Rudolph Estate and the Library of Congress Trust Fund, resulted in the transfer of those items to the Library of Congress among the Architectural Archives, that the Library of Congress determined suitable for its collections.  The intellectual property rights of items transferred to the Library of Congress are in the public domain. The usage of the Paul M. Rudolph Archive at the Library of Congress and any intellectual property rights are governed by the Library of Congress Rights and Permissions.

However, the Library of Congress has not received the entirety of the Paul Rudolph architectural works, and therefore ownership and intellectual property rights of any materials that were not selected by the Library of Congress may not be in the public domain and may belong to the Paul Rudolph Estate.

Cikini Office Building (Dharmala Manulife Building)

  • The project scope is to design an office building to be the headquarters for the Manulife insurance company. Manulife Financial Corporation is a Canadian multinational insurance company and financial services provider headquartered in Toronto, Ontario.

  • A nine story building is erected on the site in 1995.

  • The Manulife company moves out and the building becomes the headquarters of the Energi Baru Terbarukan dan Konservasi Energi (EBTKE) - the Directorate General for New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation under the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

  • The project remains unbuilt.

  • The project is being researched as part of an upcoming book ‘RUDOLPH::RENAISSANCE Evaluating Paul Rudolph’s contributions to architecture through the undiscovered late works in Asia’
