Parque de Vidago Moradias Turísticas [Parque de Vidago vacation homes], Vidago, Portugal (2002)
AP178.S1.2002.PR05.SS2
Description:
This project subseries documents the Parque de Vidago Moradias Turísticas. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 49/00. The office assigned the date 2002 to this project. The project consisted of the modification of rural buildings into vacation homes and artist residences. The building program outlined the recovery of 4 rural buildings with the intention to keep the existing stone walls and wooden roofs. The documentation also highlights the use of the homes as a place for visting artists to stay. This may have been proposed in conjunction with the desire to modify the existing garage into an art exhibition space. These residences are refered to as "Nùcleo Rural" in the documentation. The project was not realized. This project subseries is documented through drawings, photographic materials and textual records dating from 2005-2009. The drawings are mostly printed reprographic copies of CAD drawings, many of which have annotations. These include plans, details and structural, electrical and mechanical drawings. The photographic materials, which are printed digital photos, show the existing buildings and surrounding site. The textual records include technical documentation and specifications, supplier catalogues, building permit documentation, building programs and budgets.
