Description:
File documents a project for a private residence in Australia which Price designed to provide unlimited functional options by means of a variable open frame structure with insertable module components. Photographs of various views of the existing site were apparently used for reference purposes by Price during the design development process. Conceptual and design development drawings include both original drawings and reprographic copies: elevations show the timber and corrugated metal construction and preliminary construction details; axonometric drawings explore open/closed and roof on/off options; floor plans show circulation patterns in color; and alternate bathroom and service modules are shown primarily in plan. Two photographs of the model (DR2004:0379) were mislabelled by Price's office with the Pertpavs project (AP144.S2.D124). Material in this file was produced between 1981 and 1984. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, a presentation model, photographic materials and textual records.

Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for a convention centre and an international fair in León, Spain. The competition by invitation only was organised by the León Town Council. Abalos & Herreros finished second. The firm identified this project as number 191. "Leon's Fair tries to give protagonism to old factories witch characterize the site making them up as principal access point and general services for the building, as well as creating a simple constructive space, similar to a tent. [...] Also the Congress Centre fill fair's core, the communication and leisure place with its small group of people's geometry. The project tries to compose these three pieces in a unique coherent group in its differences and resemblances, able to create a place with a clear sense: Leon’s Fair." Documenting the project are presentation drawings, project descriptions, competition documents, cartographic, graphic and reference materials, correspondence, specifications and publications.

Description:
This project subseries documents the residential complex Bonjour Tristesse after Siza won the competition for Block 121. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 2/80 A. Drawings in this subseries show changes between the competition entry for Bonjour Tristesse and the built project. For instance, drawings depict the decision to reduce the number of floors, as well as Siza’s proposal to preserve the ground floor shops that remained from the previous building. Other changes documented include changes in the number of staircases as well the omission of an entrance ramp. Documenting this project subseries are sketches, studies, plans, elevations, and details. There are photographs, negatives, and slides that show the construction site and the building during and after construction. There are also photographs and negatives of the model for Bonjour Tristesse. For correspondence and project documentation see the project series.

This project series documents the Monumento ao poeta António Nobre in Leça de Palmeira, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 27/60; in the past the office identified the project as number 117. The office assigned the date 1967 to this project. The project consisted of a sculpture located near the Boa Nova Tea house. The monument was a collaboration between Álvaro Siza and sculptor Barata Feyo. The bronze sculpture included feminine figures and poet António Nobre. It is important to note that another monument for António Nobre was built by Siza in 1980 (see project series AP178.S1.1980.PR04 in this fonds). Documenting this project are sketches, studies, topographic surveys, plans, drawings of lettering and details. Photographs, negatives, and slides document the site, model, inauguration and sculpture. Textual documentation includes a building program, notes and correspondence with the city of Matosinhos.

Description:
The project series documents Pettena's research and study for the restoration and conversion of the Tonnara dell’Enfola, the promontory of the Enfola in Portoferraio, Italy. The project, on which Pettena worked from 1995 to 2000, was commissioned by the Parco Nazionale of the Arcipelago Toscano. The project included the restoration and conversion of the 18th century former tuna factory building into a museum and a theme park. The project was not realized as the general plan for the project is yet to be defined. The project series contains a complete set of plans for Pettena's proposal, including site plans, elevations, sections and floor plans, and a report on the project. The project series also includes contracts, cost estimates, project descriptions, handwritten notes (possibly by Pettena), correspondence and a list of work for the project. It also contains research material such as reference photographs and a set of reference plans for the building.

This project series documents modifications to the commercial area of terminal one at the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario from 1983-1984. The office identified the project number as 8319. Since the early 1960s, John B. Parkin Associates, and later John C. Parkin's new firm Parkin Architects Planners, had been commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services (now Transport Canada) to complete more than a dozen projects at the Toronto International Airport, including terminals one and two. This project consisted of modifications at the departures level of terminal one, including the removal of asbestos and replacement of the duty free and LCBO areas. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings and textual records dating from 1983-1984. The drawings are arranged within the textual materials. The textual records consist of specifications, change orders, site reports, construction documentation and consultancy records.
