DR1988:0176
Description:
- Design for a tall, irregularly-shaped stove, with varying sizes of tiles. - The subject of this drawing is identified as a tiled stove by the inscription "Ofen" (stove). This inscription, probably by the draughtsman, occurs on several of the drawings in the group DR1988:0155 - DR1988:0209, as does the inscription "Kachelofen" (tiled stove). Henze illustrates examples of "Kachelofen" which are similar to this work, although more rectilinear in shape (fig. 105, p. 98 and fig. 114, p. 103).

Description:
This project series documents the restoration of the Grandes Armazéns do Chiado building in Lisbon, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 58/80 N4. The office assigned the dates 1988-1998 for this project. The Grandes Armazéns do Chiado was part of Bloco C and identified as building 4 in Siza's reconstruction plan. The site of the Grandes Armazéns served several different functions in its history, including a hotel, a palace, and a convent, before becoming a department store in 1894. In the 1920s, a hotel was created at the top floors. After the destructive fire of 1988, the new owners of the building were interested in using the totality of the building for a shopping mall and restaurants. On the other hand, Siza's proposal included the expansion of the hotel in the building to introduce more public activity in the area after the regular work and shopping hours. Several programs were proposed to the owners of the building, and it was decided in 1996 that the hotel space would be reduced to the two top floors to have more room for the shopping center. The new division included 41 hotel rooms and 41 stores. The interior of the shopping mall was designed by Eduardo Souto Moura. Drawings include studies, working drawings, mechanical drawings, and structural drawings. Textual material includes project documentation, studies, meeting reports, and correspondence. Photographic material includes photographs of the building before the fire, ruins, model, and construction work. Documentation for this project can also be found in subseries AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS1 and AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS7 of this project series.

Project
AP164.S1.1999.D6
Description:
The project series documents the commission, design, and construction of the Gordillo studio, neighbouring the client’s house (AP164.S1.1993.D2) on Castilla de Ponferrada Street, in Villanueva de la Cañada, Community of Madrid, Spain. The firm identified this project as number 119. “The Gordillo Studio is a prismatic, serrated volume that occupies the plot’s only available strip of land and minimizes its presence through the use of two materials, translucent polycarbonate and xerophilous plantings, which seek the best adaptation to the site, the program and the client. Using this system, a semi-buried interior is constructed in which the light has been modeled as a solid, expansive material, the aim being to satisfy not only the specific demands of the work space but also the creation of an agreeable atmosphere, as austere as it is sensual.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with Ángel Jaramillo Sanchez, María Auxiliadora Gálvez, Renata Sentkiewicz, Juan Gómez, Fernando Valero and José Torras. In 2002, the project won the COAM 2000 prize. Documenting this project are conceptual, design development and working drawings, photographic and reference materials, correspondence, notes, budgets, reports, studies, forms, project descriptions, invoices, certifications and trade catalogues.
