Project
Casal das Figueiras, Setubal
CD034.S1.1975.PR02
Description:
This project series contains seven reproductions of drawings displayed in the exhibit to document the Casal das Figueiras neighbourhood, in Setúbal, south of Lisbon, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: ... the Setúbal port-city experienced the political vibrations of the revolutionary year with great intensity. The Casal das Figueiras neighbourhood was designed for a fishing community living in a difficult area to build on due to its steep incline. The challenge that the project architect Gonçalo Byrne faced was to maintain the structure of single-family housing with the outhouse or courtyard, the typology that the local populations requested, while making a large urban gesture. The proposal was based on two types of housing (the square and rectangular plans). This overcame the problem of the 36 percent slope in an architecturally striking manner, while it also managed to fulfil the major requirement inherent in any SAAL operation of minimizing costs. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Gonçalo Byrne worked for SAAL/Lisbon and Central South with Ana Ferreira Rebocho, Berta Sá Caetano and the residents' association Casal das Figueiras, that was founded on October 30th, 1975. The project included 420 dwellings. The operation began in July 1975 , with a construction date in October 1976. This project series contains reproductions of implementation plans and design development drawings. The original drawings were produced in 1978-1979 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.

AP178.S1.1990.PR03
Description:
This project series documents the Urban design for Boulevard Brune, Cité de Jeunesse in Paris, France. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 5/90. The office assigned the date 1990 to this project. This project consisted of a competition entry for the fourth and last phase of a social housing program for the young postmen of Paris. The competition was organized by the Ministère des Postes et des Télécommunications. The proposal for the Boulevard Brune building included four units; a school for mailmen (Edificio A), two housing buildings (Edificio B and C), and a community center (Edificio D). The program also mentioned a parking lot. Alvaro Siza was one of the three finalists selected but was not chosen for the project. Documenting this project are sketches, studies and site plans. Textual material includes project documentation, competition documentation, and correspondence. Photographs, photomontages and negatives document the project site.
