Project
AP178.S1.1996.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Kolonihaven - Exposição ao ar livre in Copenhagen, Denmark. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 73/90 The office assigned the date 1996 to this project. At the end of the 19th century, there was an important migration of people from the rural areas to the cities in Denmark. Some migrants missed the contact with the soil and decided to built small houses with gardens to help them to adapt to their new urban life. These small Danish houses we're later named Kolonihavehus and became emblematic in Denmark. The exhibition Kolonihaven - The International challenge was held in Copenhagen by the Arken Museum of Modern Art. Fourteen international architects, including Álvaro Siza, Aldo Rossi, Mario Botta, Michael Graves, Arata Isozaki, and Leon Krier were invited to design a 7.5 square meter Danish house. Siza's design was based on his idea of a house as a child mixed with his memories of a trip to Scandinavia. The fourteen architects also participated in the exhibition "Major Projects" at the Køge Museum, in Køge, Danmark. The exhibition focused on the sketches and preliminary drawings of majort projects by each architect. Documenting this project are sketches and documentation.

AP178.S1.1980.PR02.SS1
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. The office assigned the date 1980 for this project. Among materials for the competition phase are conceptual sketches intermingled with sketches of people, design development drawings including drawings for the model, site plans for the competition site, proposed plans, proposed elevations, and plans for the proposed nursery and school extension. Also included are photographs, negatives, and slides for the competition, and general photographs and negatives of Berlin. Textual documentation includes correspondence from IBA officials, such as Hämer, Kleihues, and Dagmar Tanuschev, as well as letters from Brigitte Cassirer (later Brigitte Fleck). Fleck was responsible for national and international competitions for the Senate of Berlin (1971-1985) and first invited Siza to participate in the IBA competition by entering a design for the Görlitzer Bad swimming pool. Other correspondence included in this project series are letters from Peter Brinkert, Siza’s contact architect in Berlin, in which they discuss the Kita and the Seniors Club Anziani. Furthermore, there is textual documentation from the IBA, as well as historical documentation on the project site and notes.

Dead projects
AP140.S2.SS2
Description:
Sub-series documents "dead projects", by the successive firms of Stirling and Gowan; James Stirling and Partner; James Stirling, Michael Wilford, and Associates; and Michael Wilford and Partners. These projects are those which did not lead to commissions, or the production of drawings, but were preliminary contacts or negotiations between clients and competition organizers and the architectural firms. Most of these projects were for locations in the United States, but also include locations in the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Iran, France, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, the Soviet Union, Canada, Austria and Switzerland. Material in this sub-series was produced between 1963 and probably 2002. Sub-series contains textual records, such as notes, proposals, correspondence with clients or consultants, reports, building programs, contracts or agreements. It also contains maps of sites and cadastral plans used as reference, and site plans.

Project
AP164.S1.1997.D4
Description:
The project series documents the design of the “Green House” for Mariano Maqueda and Olga Montón, in Pozuelo de Alarcón, in the Community of Madrid, Spain. The firm identified this project as number 103. “The project is located in a typical bit of middle-class suburbia, in which low-density housing, wasteland, amenities and clumps of pine trees intermingle, giving form to the idea of an urban existence that is in contact with nature. [Abalos & Herreros] decided to be extremely direct and to stress this aspiration by using gardening techniques. In fact, the house as a whole can be understood as an example of a giant ars-topiaria, an idea that is not at odds with the fact that it will be lived in by a landscape architect. The sloping topography is taken advantage of to build a house that has continuity with the natural environment, avoiding differentiation between the house and the terrain: the whole house is garden and the whole garden is house. The project is, then, a topological mechanism for arranging and modeling the land so as to increase and to obtain maximum enjoyment from the landscape’s weaker stimuli: the pine trees, the near-by stream, the setting of the sun over the skyline of Madrid from the house’s highest point… Natural views and artificial views: a green machine.” (ARCH270971) Documenting the project are conceptual, design development and working drawings, forms, invoices and contracts.
