Scope and Content

This project series documents the Mercado da Ribeira in Porto, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 33/70. The office assigned the date 1976 to this project.

The Comissariado para a Renovação Urbana da Área de Ribeira/Barredo was an organization responsible for the rehabilitation of the historic district of Porto. The guidelines outlined improvements to the environment of the area and the living conditions of the people. Alvaro Siza was selected to find solutions to the Mercado da Ribeira, Parcelas 191 e 192 (see project series AP178.S1.1976.PR02 in this fonds), and Largo da Lada (see project series AP178.S1.1976.PR03 in this fonds). Siza was asked to conceive market stalls for the Mercado da Ribeira to improve working conditions and sanitation, as well as creating more storage space. This project was not realized.

The project series contains sketches, studies and plans. Textual material includes project documentation.
