Description:
This project series documents the Biblioteca Municipal de Albergaria-a-Velha in Albergaria-a-Velha, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 115/90. The office assigned the date 1999 for this project. The project site was located on the top of a hill in the Parque da Vila near a sports center and a school. The program presented by Siza and his team respected the criteria developed by the Instituto do Livro Português e as bibliotecas for a municipal library of a city between 20 000 and 50 000 citizens (BM2). The design for the two-story library includes reading rooms, multimedia rooms, a section for adults, a section for children, and a multipurpose room for conferences and exhibitions, as well as private parking for fifty cars. The project was not built. Documenting this project are sketches, working drawings, structural drawings, and technical drawings. Textual material includes reference documentation, technical documentation, correspondence, and project documentation.

Description:
This project series documents the Complexo Desportivo "Ribera - Serrallo" in Cornellà de Llobregat near Barcelona, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 3/00. The office assigned the date 2000 for this project. The sports complex consisted of a multipurpose pavilion, an aquatic centre and gymnasiums. The building also included a foyer, restaurant, terrace, and a VIP area. Of particular interest was the small opening in the building that linked the exterior and interior pool, as well as the 62 circular pool skylights. The project was built and Siza was awarded the Secil prize in 2006 for this building. In 2010, a new customer request called for the creation of a game room and toy library. This is documented in the project series through a study model (see model ARCH281281). Documenting this project are sketches, studies, plans, working drawings, technical drawings and details. Textual materials include correspondence and project documentation. Photographic materials document construction work and the built project.

Description:
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.

Series
AP189.S1
Description:
Series 1, Software for collecting, formatting and storing data from the sensors, 2000-2008, is composed of four groups of files. Three of the four groups appear to represent different versions of a module that collects data from the sensors, writes the sensor data to XML format and transmits the data to a Web Server. The remaining group (ARCH275240) is composed of files whose purpose has not been identified. Files in this series were created between 2000 and 2008 but predominantly between 2006 and 2008. ARCH275099 is a group of files that were originally saved to a compact disc following the CCA exhibition. The data on the compact disc was organized and interpreted by the person or persons who compiled it. The original directories have descriptive names and the data is accompanied by instructions in a readme file. This is a selection of the files from the compact disc; other files from the disc can be found in Series 2. Groups ARCH275106 and ARCH275201 are composed of files that were selected from two of the hard drives that were returned to the CCA after the exhibition in Rovereto. The content of the hard drives included the selected files as well as system files and other data that was not retained in the archive. The two groups have some similarities in content and file structure and they both have some content that is similar to that of ARCH275099. Group ARCH275106 additionally includes ZiLOG development software and a "CCA Trident program" copyrighted by Scenethetic Inc. The modules in groups ARCH275099, ARCH275106 and ARCH275201 were developed in part by CCA information technology staff.
