Wohnhaus Schlesisches Tor—also known as Bonjour Tristesse—in Berlin and Punt en Komma in The Hague are Álvaro Siza’s first built works outside his native Portugal. The two projects resemble one another in size, scale, program, and ambition: both were built in the 1980s, both are results of a distinct attitude towards the city, and both were social housing projects(...)

DR1989:0015:030
Description:
- The three drawings on the recto of this sheet relate to the design for the porch on the corridor between the mortuary and chapel of Saint Peter's Home, Woking. The drawings on the two pieces of tracing paper glued to the wove paper have been traced from the earlier porch design, DR1989:0015:035. The drawing on wove paper appears to be an elaboration of the traced drawings. On the verso there is a drawing of an arch, perhaps for the same project. - This work is part of a group of drawings and reprographic prints of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Woking, and St. Peter's Convent, Woking, from the offices of John Loughborough Pearson and Frank Loughborough Pearson (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:085 R/V). Composed of contract and working drawings including plans, site plans, sections, and elevations dated between 1881 and 1936, these drawings were sold at auction by the convent along with those for the older institution of St. Peter's Home, Kilburn (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:010). Both St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, and St. Peter's Home, Woking were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and a lay nursing order which ran it. The institution at Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882 and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255, and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.
