Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the planning of the Orange County Suuokita Memorial Park in California, United States. The project site was previously a military base. The firm identified this project as number 212b “The first action will be to excavate the existing E-W runways and construct in their place a great water channel. The second action will be to plant a large grid of indigenous trees over the entire site in tandem with the installation of irrigation systems. The third main gesture will be to transform the surfaces of the remaining runways into smaller gardens […] Following upon these initial gestures, [Abalos & Herreros] propose a series of vertical structures that will serve to punctuate the great horizontal expanse of the park, providing another scale to the park.” (ARCH270975) Documenting the project are presentation drawings, correspondence, reference materials, notes, project descriptions, presentation documents, publications and a dummy.

Description:
The project series documents Abalos & Herreros’ entry for an open competition for the national library José Vasconcelos, Mexico city, Mexico. The firm identified this project as number 170. “The central library is a county’s visible deposit for its culture, a legacy to the future; contemplating al [sic] periods of a culture in a holistic and integrated way crosses historic earas [sic] and puts human memory in relation to geological time, a substrate which shelters and protects human life. [The] library will establish this dialogue by anchoring in the site, the city and the country by basic gesture putting the geologic substrate, the lagoon and the volcanos which construct and nourish the earth as a relief. A lagoon perforated by seven craters composes the germlike landscape which starts the projects, giving us a first drawing which transforms the space almost into a lake of waterlilies.” (ARCH270975) Documenting the project are conceptual drawings, competition documents, resumes, correspondence and a map.
