Scope and Content

This project series documents the Casa Guardiola in Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 56/80. The office assigned the date 1988 to this project.

The project consisted of a house located on the Bay of Cadiz in Santa Maria del Mar in Spain. The holiday house was comissioned by a bull breeder. The client asked for four different architects to propose a design. These architects were Álvaro Siza, Peter Eisenman, John Hejduk, and Frank Gehry. Siza's design included a structure of reinforced concrete and a series of courtyards. None of the architects' proposals were built.

Documenting this project are sketches, studies and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, competition documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the model.
