AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS6
Description:
This project series documents the restoration of the Leonel building in Lisbon, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 58/80 N19. The office assigned the date 1988-1998 for this project. The construction work includes restorations of windows, doors, façades, painting, stonework, as well as work on the structure and mechanical systems. The Leonel building was part of Bloco A and identified as building 19 in Siza reconstruction plan. Located between the lower and upper part of town, Siza used the building to create a path and an public elevator to link the two parts of Lisbon. Documenting this project subseries are sketches, studies, floor plans, elevations, mechanical drawings, technical drawings, and working drawings. Textual material includes correspondence, minutes of meeting and project documentation. It is important to note that documentation about this project can also be found in subseries Master plans and exterior spaces (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS1) and Bloco B (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS5).

AP167.S1.SS3.009
Description:
This directory contains chiefly Virtools files and CAD files, including 3DS and Maya. The Virtools files in this directory include player files and supporting files for two objects. The first is titled "keep at contant distance thing," which allows the user to interact with two objects that are constantly kept at a constant distance from one another. The other player file has several versions, all titled "Virtools," which allow the user to experiment with the volume of a Muscle-like structure by moving different vertices within the structure. The Maya files contain various 3D wireframe models, and the 3DS files largely come back as "not found." Original directory name: "75 virtools muscle simulation". Most common file formats: Unidentified, Maya Binary File Format, Plain Text File, 3D Studio, Hypertext Markup Language.

AP148.S1.1969.PR01
Description:
This project series features drawings and text, as well as collages on photographs, for a project entitled "Breve racconto di Architettura" by Poli. An inventory provided by Poli was used to identify the dates of these materials. The drawings and text seem to feature a journey on a highway (autostrada), or by plane, as all of the collaged images seem to be views taken from an airplane. These collages feature images of food and structures glued onto images of both rural and urban landscapes. References are made in the text to the Parco urbano Modena, possibly related to Poli's thesis project (see AP148.S1.1970.PR01), as well as to Roland Barthes, and "architettura invisibile".

Description:
File documents a consultancy project related to the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) running from London to Folkestone, England. Price was commissioned to work in conjunction with engineering and environmental teams to provide input to the aesthetic design of major structures located along the CTRL route. A significant part of the work done on the project relates to a proposal to use a bridge rather than a tunnel on the section of the link crossing the Thames. The bridge would have been built between Gravesend, Kent and Tilbury, Thurrock. Material in this file was produced between 1986 and 1997, but predominantly in 1992. File contains conceptual drawings and textual records.
