Description:
Series documents the contribution of architect Hans Scharoun to the correspondence circle of Die gläserne Kette, with Scharoun writing under the pseudonym Hannes. Born in 1893 in Bremen, Germany, Scharoun studied archictecture at the Technische Hochschule at Berlin-Charlottenburg between 1912 and 1914. From 1915 to 1918 he worked on a military commission for the rebuilding of East Prussia. In 1919, he joined the Arbeitsrat für Kunst led by Bruno Taut. From 1919 to 1925 he worked independently, taking on private and public commissions as well as architectural projects for exhibitions. He taught at the Akademie für Kunst und Gewerbe in Breslau from 1925 to 1932, and at the Technische Universität Berlin as a town planning professor from 1946 to 1958. In 1956, he won the first prize of the competition for the Philharmonie concert hall in West Berlin. He died in Berlin in 1972. (Source: Ian Boyd Whyte, Bruno Taut and the Architecture of Activism.

Project
Reference number:
AP178.S1.1983.PR04
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).

São Victor, Porto

Reference number:
CD034.S1.1974.PR04
Description:
This project series contains reproductions of photographs, drawings and panels displayed in the exhibit to document the São Victor neighbourhood, in Porto, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: ... the group of 12 houses built for the São Victor neighbourhood was one of SAAL's most important operations, despite the fact that only a small part of the project was carried out. Maintaining the urban fabric of the 'ilhas' (islands) and their internal community ties, the São Victor design combined the responsiveness inherent in the participatory nature of the project with architectural and technical precision. An important case study, it led Álvaro Siza Vieira, the project architect, being invited to design projects in Berlin and The Hague in the following decade. In many aspects, São Victor represents an ethically and politically-minded architectural practice, with a stress on understanding the link between being responsive to the voice of the people and the permanence of architectural design. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Álvaro Siza worked for SAAL/North with Adalberto Dias, Domingos Tavares, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Francisco Guedes, Graça Nieto, Manuel Borges, Manuela Sambade, Paula Cabral and the residents' association S. Victor, that was founded on April 14th, 1975. The first phase of the project included 32 dwellings and the second, 20 dwellings. The operation began in November 1974, with a construction date in October 1975. This project series contains reproductions of design development drawings, exhibition panels and photographs. The original material was produced around 1974-1975 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.

Description:
This series documents eight projects that Eva Hollo Vecsei worked on while at the firm Affleck, Desbarats, Dimakopoulos, Lebensold & Sise Architect (Arcop). Vecsei worked for the firm from 1959 to 1971 and was made an associate in 1964. She was the designer in charge of several Massey Award winning projects such as: Saint Gerard Magella Church, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec (1960-1963); Place Bonaventure, Montréal, Québec (circa 1963-1969); Student Union building, McGill University, Montréal, Québec (1965); and the Life science building, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia (1971). This series includes documents related to the following projects: Tifereth Jerusalem Synagogue, Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec (circa 1959-1971); Saint Gerard Magella Church, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec (1960-1963); Centre civique Chomedey, Chomedey [now Laval], Québec (1962-1965); Place des Arts, Montréal, Québec (1963); Place Bonaventure, Montréal, Québec (circa 1963-1969); Student Union building, McGill University, Montréal, Québec (1965); and the Life science building, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia (1971). Collection material in this series was produced between 1959 and 2017. Documenting the series are photographs, presentation drawings, slides, publications, clippings, correspondence, and digital material (mainly photographs and versions of a filmed interview). Records are predominantly related to Place Bonaventure, a large multi-functional complex comprised of exhibition and convention halls, an international trade centre, shopping concourses, offices, and a 400-room hotel with rooftop gardens. Mostly constructed of concrete, the building is connected to an underground pedestrian network and the Place Bonaventure metro station.
