Description:
This project series documents the Piscina de Marés in Leça da Palmeira, Matosinhos, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 9/60. The office assigned the date 1961. Piscina de Marés was built between 1961 and 1966. The project included two salt water pools, one for adults and another for children, and changing rooms. A restaurant was later added in 1965. The pools were embedded in rock formations situated on the northern coastline of the Atlantic Ocean in Matosinhos. Siza used concrete to build the pools and walls while preserving some of the rock formation. There was also restoration work done for both the pools and the restaurant in the mid 1990s. The project series includes sketches, elevations, plans, and details, as well as correspondence and project documentation. Photographic materials document the project site, the built project, the model, and drawings. Also included are panoramas of the built project and aerial views of the project site. Note that photographic materials related to the 1995 renovation are also found among these materials, however the rest of the materials related to the renovations are in subseries Recuperação da Piscina de Marés (AP178.S1.1995.PR01).

Description:
This project series documents the James Stewart Centre for Mathematics at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario from 2000-2003. The office identified the project number as 2000-22. This project consisted of the complete interior renovation of Hamilton Hall, originally built in 1929, for use as a mathematics school at the University. An insulated envelope was added to the historic building in order to preserve its gothic exteriors, which were juxtaposed against new modern and abstract interior spaces. Transparent blue glass was used throughout the four-storey building for walls, ceilings and railings to draw sunlight deep into its interiors. A mix of enclosed rooms and open, interactive spaces were created and slate chalkboards were added throughout the building to inspire spontaneous thought and collaborative work.[1] This project was awarded a Governor General's Medal in Architecture in 2004. The project is recorded through drawings dating from around 2000 to around 2002, which include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details, presentation drawings and digital renderings. A large part of the sketches are drawings for custom furniture. [1]"James Stewart Centre for Mathematics, McMaster University." KPMB.

Description:
This project series documents the James Stewart Centre for Mathematics at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario from 2000-2003. The office identified the project number as 2000-22. This project consisted of the complete interior renovation of Hamilton Hall, originally built in 1929, for use as a mathematics school at the University. An insulated envelope was added to the historic building in order to preserve its gothic exteriors, which were juxtaposed against new modern and abstract interior spaces. Transparent blue glass was used throughout the four-storey building for walls, ceilings and railings to draw sunlight deep into its interiors. A mix of enclosed rooms and open, interactive spaces were created and slate chalkboards were added throughout the building to inspire spontaneous thought and collaborative work.[1] This project was awarded a Governor General's Medal in Architecture in 2004. The project is recorded through drawings dating from around 2000 to around 2002, which include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details, presentation drawings and digital renderings. A large part of the sketches are drawings for custom furniture. [1]"James Stewart Centre for Mathematics, McMaster University." KPMB.
