This project series documents the Centro Cultural de la Defensa in Madrid, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 50/80. The office assigned the date 1988 to this project.
An architectural competition was held for the construction of a cultural center and museum for the Ministry of Defense. Seven architects were invited for the first phase of the competition. Four architects, including Fancisco Javier Sainz de Oiza, Lluis Clotet Ballus, Juan Navarro Baldeweg, and Álvaro Siza were selected for the second and final phase. The L-shaped building proposed by Siza included a museum, library, archives, research center, auditoriums, restaurants and bookstores. Siza won the competition but the building was not realized.
Documenting this project are sketches, presentation drawings and photographs of model. Textual materials include project documentation, correspondence and articles on the competition.
Materials in this project series were arranged by Álvaro Siza’s office and have been kept in this order.
