Description:
This project series documents the Instalação na Exposição "Entrez Lentement" per il Salone del Mobile in Milan. While the records were held in the office’s archives this installation was assigned the label "outro" in place of the usual project number, to designate that it was work done for an exhibition. The office assigned the date 2005 for this installation. This project consisted of an exhibition installation at the 2005 edition of the famed Salone del Mobile Milano (Milan Furniture Fair). The Salone del Mobile exhibition, entitled "Entrez Lentement," invited eight architects to build installations related to famous architectural projects. Siza's work spoke to Oscar Neimeyer's personal home, Casa das Canoas in Rio de Janeiro. He designed two organic white forms and a curved yellow chaise lounge that related to the curved forms present in the original home. Documenting this project are sketches, a plan, and the exhibition space layout of the Salone. These materials date from 2004.

This project series documents the design for the Instituto de Biofísica in Hombroich, Germany. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 69/90. The office assigned the dates 1995-1996 to this project. The project was commissioned by the Insel Hombroich Foundation. Construction started in 1995, but was delayed until 2006. The project site was located on an old military camp and was used by the Foundation as part of a program for architects to build different types of building. The program for the Institute of Biophysics included office spaces, conference rooms, a meditation center, a music center and five guest apartments. Siza's design was kept and used later with a different interior layout for a new Pavilion for the Insel Hombroich Foundation (see project series AP178.S1.2001.PR02 in this fonds). The project was a collaboration with Rudolf Finsterwalder. Documenting this project are studies and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, correspondence and a development plan.

This project series documents the Vitra International project in Weil am Rhein, Germany. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 18/90. The office assigned the dates 1991-1994 to this project. The building included a factory, offices, and loading docks. The brick was chosen as a reference to the production hall that burned down in 1981 on the project site. The curved bridge roof that connected Siza's building to Nicholas Grimshaw's building was conceived to not obstruct the view of Zaha Hadid's Fire Station. Siza also designed a 500 metre promenade that passed by the Vitra building and connected the Fire Station to the VitraHaus designed by Herzog & de Meuron. The project was realized. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, design development drawings, plans and details. Textual material includes project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the project site, models, construction work and the built project. There is also a study model for this project.
