Description:
This project series documents the Remodelação do Cinema Condes in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 22/90. The office assigned the dates 1991-1992 to this project. The Cinema Condes was built between 1949 and 1951. At the beginning of the 1990s, the owners of the building wanted to add offices and stores while maintaining the cinema.

Dead projects
AP140.S2.SS2
Description:
Sub-series documents "dead projects", by the successive firms of Stirling and Gowan; James Stirling and Partner; James Stirling, Michael Wilford, and Associates; and Michael Wilford and Partners. These projects are those which did not lead to commissions, or the production of drawings, but were preliminary contacts or negotiations between clients and competition organizers and the architectural firms. Most of these projects were for locations in the United States, but also include locations in the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Iran, France, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, the Soviet Union, Canada, Austria and Switzerland. Material in this sub-series was produced between 1963 and probably 2002. Sub-series contains textual records, such as notes, proposals, correspondence with clients or consultants, reports, building programs, contracts or agreements. It also contains maps of sites and cadastral plans used as reference, and site plans.
