AP206.S1.1982.PR16
Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for clusters of housing blocks in Navi Mumbai, likely sometime in the 1980s or 1990s. The project, proposed for the Kalamboli region of the city, consisted of the site development of diamond shaped housing blocks, each with a sports field in its centre courtyard. Two circular commerce blocks were also planned for the neighbourhood, as well as spaces for a school, playground, public utilities and community services. The project is recorded through original drawings of site plans and elevations, probably dating from sometime in the 1980s-1990s. It should be noted that the previous name of Navi Mumbai was New Bombay, which is the name used on these materials.

Description:
The project series documents the 1983 design entry for the Kulturforum. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 21/80. The office assigned the date 1983 for this project. This project was a competition entry for the International Architectural Exhibition Berlin competition (International Bauaustellung, IBA, circa 1979-1987), an urban renewal strategy for West Berlin, Germany. Siza also submitted five other entries to the IBA: Görtlitzer Bad swimming pool; Block 70 and 89 (Fränkelufer residential complex); Bonjour Tristesse (Block 121); Block 11-12; and Monument to Gestapo victims. The Kulturforum was a complex of cultural buildings. The site underwent many changes during Nazi Germany and post-war with the construction of the National Library of Staatsbibliothek, designed by Hans Scharoun. Two examples of features that the IBA asked participants to include in their design proposals were to exclude vehicle traffic between the library and national gallery, and to reinterpret the Forum space. Documenting this project are several sketches and studies. There are also plans, elevations, and axonometric drawings of site plans. Siza’s office has indicated on some of the studies that they were possibly not created by Siza. Where this is the case it has been noted with the physical material. Photographs and negatives document the competition site and model, and there are transparencies and slides of drawings. Also included is textual documentation on the competition site and a few letters from members of the Berlin Senate, two of which are from Brigitte Cassirer (later Brigitte Fleck).
