Description:
This project series documents the Complexo Desportivo "Ribera - Serrallo" in Cornellà de Llobregat near Barcelona, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 3/00. The office assigned the date 2000 for this project. The sports complex consisted of a multipurpose pavilion, an aquatic centre and gymnasiums. The building also included a foyer, restaurant, terrace, and a VIP area. Of particular interest was the small opening in the building that linked the exterior and interior pool, as well as the 62 circular pool skylights. The project was built and Siza was awarded the Secil prize in 2006 for this building. In 2010, a new customer request called for the creation of a game room and toy library. This is documented in the project series through a study model (see model ARCH281281). Documenting this project are sketches, studies, plans, working drawings, technical drawings and details. Textual materials include correspondence and project documentation. Photographic materials document construction work and the built project.

Description:
This subseries documents Kenneth Frampton’s writing of “Studies in Tectonic Culture: The Poetics of Construction in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Architecture” (1995) as well as his other writings related to tectonics such as course materials for the “Studies in Tectonic Culture” seminar at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) and some research materials on tectonics. Kenneth Frampton's research interest in tectonics began with four lectures he gave at Rice University in Texas in the 1980s. The lectures focused on the work of Louis Kahn, Mies van der Rohe, Auguste Perret, and Jørn Urzon. This research interest later became a book and teaching project in the early 1990s. Textual documentation in this subseries consists of contracts, book reviews, abstracts, correspondence, drafts for various chapters, notes, selected photographic materials for the publication and various articles on tectonics (written by others). Course outlines, course readers, lecture slides, student papers, and midterm exams from the Studies in Tectonic Culture seminar at GSAPP are also included in this subseries.

Description:
This project series documents the Recupero del Palazzo Donnaregina / Museu de Arte Contemporâneo in Napoli, Italy. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 55/00. The office assigned the date 2003 for this project. The Palazzo Donnaregina was built during the 19th century and served multiple functions during his history, including a bank and a school of administration. In 2001, the building was abandoned after a flood. In 2005, the Campania Regional Government bought the building and leased it to the Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporane. Àlvaro Siza and the Studio DAZ-Dumontet Antonini Zaske were selected to renovate and repurpose the builsing into a contemporary art museum. The museum included exhibition halls, a library, a bookshop, and a mediatheque. The project was realized. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, design development drawings, plans, and details. Textual material includes project documentation, catalogs from suppliers, and correspondence. Photographic material documents Siza's visits, project site, and construction work.

Description:
This project series documents the existing Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) buildings in Toronto around 1970. The office identified the project number as 70056. This project consisted of creating drawings of the two existing AGO buildings, before the start of construction on the AGO expansion. Beginning in 1969, Parkin’s firm was hired as the head architects for the AGO’s massive expansion program that would span more than a decade. This is one project relating to the expansion of the art gallery. The work for AGO projects was divided into 4 physical areas of the art gallery (A, B, C and D) and the drawings for this project reflect this division. It should be noted that while AGO project contracts were originally given to John B. Parkin Associates, John C. Parkin continued the project under his new firm, Parkin Architects Planners, after parting ways with partner John B. Parkin in 1971. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of area D drawings dating from around 1970.

This project series document the Biblioteca da Câmara Municipal de Viana do Castelo in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 11/00. The office assigned the dates 2000-2008 to this project. The project site is located between the Alameda 5 de Outubro and the Lima river. The library was part of the waterfront development plan, directed by Fernando Távora. The development plan included a multiuse pavilion designed by Eduardo Souto de Moura, two office buildings, and an auditorium designed by Tàvora. The architects, with the help of José Bernardo Tavora and Adalberto Dias chose together location. The orthogonal two-story library respects the recommendations of the Portuguese Institute of Book and Libraries (IPLB). This project was realized and won the National Contemporary Architecture Award.

Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the Canada Life Assurance building in Toronto in 1990. The office identified the project number as 9007. This project consisted of a proposal to renovate the existing Canada Life Assurance headquarters located in the historic Beaux-Arts style building on the corner of Queen and University Streets. This work would also include the construction of a new, 15 storey mixed-use development with approximately 1,000,000 square feet of commercial office space, retail space and a hotel. The design goal was to create an urban campus while extending the corporate headquarters. This proposal was done in joint-venture with Bregman & Hamann and was headed by Marianne McKenna and Bruce Kuwabara. This was not the winning entry for the competition and the project was eventually realized by Shore Tilbe Henshall Irwin. The project is recorded through drawings, a presentation painting and a model dating from 1988-1990. The drawings are mostly originals and consist of sketches, plans, elevations, perspectives and axonometric drawings.

Weavers' Studio
Reference number:
AP182.S1.2013.D2
Description:
File documents a project for a live-work complex in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. Commissioned by Chiaki Maki, a Japanese textile weaver who spends a portion of each year in northern India, this complex in the Himalayan foothills provides working space for a studio of twenty-five weavers from all over the country. It is conceived as a cyclical, self-sufficient farm system that integrates all aspects of the weaving process, from cultivating indigo and henna for dye to gathering silk from cocoons and spinning wool. The site had been previously cultivated, and the design works with the landscape's existing pathways, terraces, and mango groves. Nearly all construction materials--including the brick, limestone, and phosphorescent river stones used in the foundation and to treat the brick walls--come from within a two-kilometre radius of the studio. The five-sided building occupying the centre of the site is the workshop itself, which frames a courtyard for gatherings (of weavers, children, etc.). A gallery in the complex displays the weavers' work, while the linear buildings accommodate motorcycle parking, a guest house, and residences for Maki and her partner as well as the site caretaker and his family. File contains artefacts and realia, models, photographs, drawings, site reports, and a video recording.
