AP178.S1.1980.PR01
Description:
This project series document the Sede da Companhia Dom in Cologne, Germany. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 1/80. The office assigned the date 1980 to this project. The project files document Siza's design for DOM company headquarter's architectural competition. Fifty architects were selected by a jury to propose a design. The client underlined the importance of having a striking visual impact while also putting emphasis on precision, security, protection and technological advancement. Requirements for the building included enough space for 250 employees and a covered parking lot for 50 vehicles. Siza's proposed design was a cylindrical inclined building with a cylindrical hole through the center. A circulation system with elevators, stairs and ramps inside and outside the office spaces was designed to create a " complex promenade architecturale"[1] . Siza's entry was not selected. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, design development drawings and competition drawings. Textual materials include competiton documentation. Of particular interest in this project series are the first computer drawings and coordinates used by Siza' office. [1] : Peter Testa "Álvaro Siza, " Birkhäuser Verlag, 1996.

CI005.S1.1936.PR2
Description:
The competition for the design of the new Amsterdam Town Hall was held in 1936 and overseen by several jurists. Oud's submission was disappointing as his entry was criticized by a fellow jurist and he was not among the four finalist who were selected to modify their plans. Oud's entry in 1937 featured a court surrounded by three office wings, another office wing for the council chamber and a formal main entrance, as well as a tower in the courtyard (Taverne et al. 2001, 409-410). Project series includes photographs of plans for Oud's competition entry for the Amsterdam Town Hall.

Description:
File documents a self-supported study by Cedric Price's office to study the feasibility of an information storage/retrieval system. Textual records mention two possible intentions for this project: the feasibility of operating an information storage unit within the office; and to study 'the architectural implications of automated library networks especially with reference to physical location and to the question of developing an architecture which will in no way inhibit the newly developing possibilities'. Material in this file was produced between 1966 and 1972. Roy Landau appears as a research assistant or collaborator for this project. File contains textual records.
