DR1982:0127 R
Description:
- The drawing apparently depicts a coronation ceremony showing an interior resembling that of St. Peter's, Rome, looking towards the altar. Under the dome there is an elevated throne with a baldachin formed by a huge central crown with swags of red fabric which extend from the crown to the piers at the crossing. The design for a smaller structure which figures below is probably an earlier drawing.

Description:
- The perspective sketches correspond with the rough plan, which shows the two wings of the court house and part of the stone wall enclosing the courtyard. The perspective drawing on the lower half of the sheet appears to have been drawn after the plan, which may reflect the architect's approach to the problem: drawing the plan and then working out the relationship between the structure to the site.

Bloco C, Reconstrução do Chiado [Block C, Reconstruction of the Chiado] Lisbon, Portugal, 1988-1998
AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS7
Description:
This project subseries documents Bloco C of the reconstruction of the Chiado in Lisbon, Portugal. The office's archives identified this project as 58/80. The office assigned the dates 1988-1998 for this project. Bloco C was located between Rua Do Crucifixo, Rua Do Carmo, and Rua Nova Do Almada. Bloco C included buildings 1, 2, 3, 4 (Grandes Armazéns do Chiado), 5 (Grandella building), and 6. The construction work for the buildings of Bloco A included the restoration of windows, doors, façades, painting, stonework, as well as work on the structure and mechanical systems. Drawings include studies and working drawings. Textual material includes project documentation and studies. Photographic materials and slides document the buildings prior to the fire, damaged buildings, project site, and construction work. It is important to note that this subseries includes general details of Bloco C, for more specific details see individual building subseries of the Grandella building (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS8) and Grandes Armazéns do Chiado (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS9).

Project
AP207.S1.2017.PR02
Description:
The project series documents "Architecture Forgiven by Nature", an installation design by Pettena in 2017. The installation consists of an old water tower at the top of a hill in Brufa, covered with a metal grill. The intention is for plants to grow from the grill and hide the tower behind vegetation. The installation also included a staircase hidden behind the metal grill to give access to the top of the tower, so it could be used as a belvedere. "An additional function therefore joins the usual one, as nature helps to integrate a banal architecture into the landscape while also changing it into a place of consciousness and better understanding of both the environment and the art world." [1] The project is also known as "Torre di Brufa". The project series contains a drawing, printouts of digital renderings, plans of the structure surrounding the water tower, and video of Pettena showing the model of the tower.
