Type the names into the search box at www.library.upenn. edu. You got in here so we don’t need to tell you about Google Scholar.

Most of these will tuck cute little PennText buttons into your search results. Click on the button to see if you can get the article online. Probably not, so try the Franklin link under Penn Library Holdings. This will give you the call number to locate the bound journal collection in the stacks.

Click on “Philadelphia Area” for local non-Penn collections. SIx DEGREES OF PENNDESIGN Market East today is home to a shopping mall and a train station. In 1963, Kevin Bacon, the four-year-old son of City Planning Commission Executive Director Edmund Bacon, had some more inventive ideas: I think we should put a merry-go-round that’s on the level, and the one up in the sky—that one could be great too. And so, we could put a duckling and a little gun, and if you shoot the duck that is floating in the water, just a play duck, and if you shoot that duck, then you get a teddy bear. And if you don’t shoot him, you get a piece of cake…[Y]ou should have a pony stable, a stable with real ponies, and the man could take you around. We should put a big castle there, and the little children go in it and they see all kinds of merry-gorounds and numbers and good knights. Sadly, these ideas did not come to fruition. But we know the star of Footloose and Tremors showed an early PDPRIMER 2011 36
the school passion for urban design thanks to his two-page paean to merry-go-rounds, teddy bears, and cake. Kevin’s proposals were sent by his father to Louis Kahn, who was then working on a redevelopment scheme for Market East. The letter is now in the Louis I. Kahn Collection at PennDesign’s Architectural Archives. The Archives, tucked into the base of the Furness building, attracts a steady stream of scholars from all over the world, but this fantastic source of information, inspiration and celebrity trivia goes scandalously under-utilized by PennDesign students toiling steps away. Besides the Kahn Collection, holdings include original drawings by Robert Adam, Frank Lloyd Wright, and sculptor Henry Moore, and are particularly strong in designers connected to Penn and Philadelphia: Paul Cret, Frank Furness, Robert Le Ricolais, and Robert Venturi. The Archives are a part of the School of Design, not the library system, and its collections are only sparsely represented in the Franklin catalog. Check www.design.upenn.edu/archives and www. philadelphiabuildings.org, but if you’re just looking for mental refreshment, browsing through what’s on display in the Kroiz Gallery or the small collection of books featuring Archives holdings is always worthwhile. 37 PDPRIMER 2011 PDPRIMER 2011 38
