Project
AP178.S1.1965.PR06
Description:
This project series documents the Plano Urbanistico para a Marginal de Leça e Zona da Boa Nova in Matosinhos, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 22/60. In the past the office identified the project as number 113. The office assigned the dates 1965-1974 for this project. This project was part of an urban renewal program of Matosinhos. Originally, the Avenida Marginal de Leça da Palmeira was a ring road mainly used to access the beaches but it later became a central road to access north and east parts of the city. Traffic and lack of parking spaces became problematic. The project consisted of an urbanization plan for Leça da Palmeira and Boa Nova, a new design for the layout of the pipelines between the Port of Leixões and SACOR Refinery, and a new design for da Marginal street that improve access to the Ocean swimming pool and others facilities of the area. Drawings include topographic surveys, studies, sketches, plans and profiles. Textual materials include a building program, notes and correspondence between Siza, the city of Matosinhos, and SACOR. Photographic materials and slides document the project site and model. It is also important to note that several Siza's projects were built in this area and are present in some sketches of this project, including the Casa de Chá, Restaurante da Boa Nova, Ocean swimming pool, and Monumento ao poeta António Nobre.

Description:
This project series documents the Edifício Zaida Habitação e Comércio in Granada, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 98/90. The office assigned the dates 1998-2006 to this project. The project was divided in three components, each represented in the following project subseries: the Zaida building (AP178.S1.1998.PR03.SS1), the Caja Rural de Granada (AP178.S1.1998.PR03.SS2) and the Casa Pátio (AP178.S1.1998.PR03.SS3). The project, realized with local architect Juan Domingo Santos, redeveloped three ajacent parcels of land that faced the Plaza Puerta Real. This included the demolition of the nineteenth century Zaida Hotel that existed on the site and the incorporation of an existing nineteenth century courtyard style home (Casa Pátio). The project was built in two phases, beginning with the Zaida building in phase 1 and continuing with the Casa Pátio in phase 2. The Zaida building was six-storeys with commerical and office spaces on the first three levels and residential dwellings on the upper three. The two bottom floors of the building's exterior were constructed from grey stone, while the top four storeys were white stucco. The bank branch Caja Rural de Granada was located on the ground level of the building. While the architect sought to save and preserve the Casa Pátio, eventually it had to be reinterpretted and attached to the main volume. It was integrated with the main building using the same white stucco exterior.

Description:
This project subseries documents student housing for Victoria University in Toronto from 1987-1992. The office identified the project number as 18723. This project, headed by Bruce Kuwabara, consisted of an 8 floor building, with 57 apartments, designed to house 220 students. Located next to Victoria University, part of the University of Toronto, the housing was comprised of units ranging from 1-4 bedrooms. The L-shaped building was 8,646 square metres in size and had two levels of parking that could hold 155 vehicles. The top storeys of the building were gradually set back at each successive level, creating a pyramid-style top, clad in aluminum panelling. The lower levels had facades of red brick, banded with darker red brick, and intermittent with grey brick in a similar pattern. Limestone banding was also used, as well as limestone panelling around the west entrance which continued skyward to create a limestone chimney. This building is now known as Rowell Jackman Hall. The project is recorded through drawings dating from 1987-1992. These include sketches, elevations, plans, perspectives and isometrics. This project was designed simultaneously with the Victoria University Hotel (see project subseries AP056.S1.1987.PR06.SS1). These two projects have been arranged in two subseries because their project numbers and the site plans and surveys for each project overlap. Some sketches in this project subseries show the Victoria University Hotel building. These two project subseries should be viewed together.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of an office building and planning for additional projects in North York, Ontario from 1976-1983. The office identified the project number as 7626. The project consisted of a ten storey office building located at 1500 Don Mills Road with approximately 250,000 square feet of space. Owned and commissioned by Marathon Realty, the majority of the building's space was designed for rental. The ground floor of the building was to host retail spaces and a connection to local transit. The project was divided into two phases. Phase I was the construction of this office building and Phase II was the construction of an additional office building and a parking structure on the same property. Under this project number, only Phase I was realized, with the additional buildings receiving their own project numbers from the office later on. The project is recorded through drawings, construction progress photographs, textual records and a mounted work of art dating from 1974-1983. The textual records include correspondence, site reports, tests and inspections, meeting minutes and reports, specifications, tenders documents, detail planning records, change orders, supplementary instructions and financial records. Also included is an article written by John C. Parkin for Canadian Architect on the development of the property, which previously hosted his own offices until their demolition before the start of this project (see box AP018.S1.1976.PR19.025). Box AP018.S1.1976.PR19.025 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.
