The series is composed of materials Neumann may have used over the course of his researches on space packing, for his various articles, his book L'Humanisation de L'Espace: Le Système M-Phi, or for lectures. It contains architecture periodicals, newspaper and magazine clippings on architectural topics, photographs of Brno interiors, academic papers and articles, and the contents of seven slide boxes, which may have been used for Neumann's lectures. The first three slide boxes primarily contain photographs of Neumann's projects. The latter boxes contain personal photographs, images taken from published sources, and diagrams pertaining to Neumann's researches on polyhedral geometry, morphological architecture, and proportion.
