Scope and Content

This project series documents the Centro José Saramago in Granada, Spain, which in the end, was not built by Álvaro Siza. While the records were held in the office's archives, this project was assigned the number 46/00. The office assigned the date 2002 to this project.

This project was assigned to Siza by the Board of Fundação José Saramago, which was formed by the Ayuntamiento de Castril [City Council], Diputacion Provincial de Granada [Provincial Council] and the University of Granada. The documentation informs us that the location of the building was subject to several changes. According to the documentation the City Council commissioned another architect associated with the Diputacion Provincial de Granada.
