AP178.S1.1958.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Casa de Chá, Restaurante da Boa Nova in Leça de Palmeira, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 9/50. In the past the office identified the project as number 99. The office assigned the dates 1958-1963 for this project. The coastal site for this project was selected by Portuguese architect Fernando Távora. The project was built after the proposal won an architecture competition held by the municipality of Matosinhos in 1958. Távora initiated the project in collaboration with Francisco Figueiredo, and later handed the project over to Siza. In an interview with Eduardo Souto Moura, Moura recounts that Távora gave the project to Siza and five other aids before leaving on vacation (Juan Rodrigues, Carlos Seoane, et al, “Siza by Siza”). In the 1970s, Siza designed the furniture for this project and also worked on the 1990s restoration and renovation work. The project series consists of sketches, studies, plans, elevations, and details for the Casa de Chá, Restaurante da Boa Nova as well as sketches of the furniture designed by Siza. Photographs, negatives, and slides document the exterior and interior of the built project, as well as the project site. There are also postcards of the built project and photographs taken by photographers Rui Morais de Sousa, Juan Rodriguez, Alvão (Azevedo & Fernandes), Stitchting Wonen, and Charters. Textual documentation includes correspondence from the Câmara Municipal de Matosinhos, including correspondence addressed to Távora, as well as correspondence from Távora and Siza. Also included are notes and project documentation.

Description:
This project series documents Pettena's performance "Vestirsi Di Siede", also know in English as "Wearable Chairs". The performance was carried out between 3 pm and 5 pm on February 12, 1971, in the streets of Minneapolis by ten students of Pettena at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. The students, each wearing a portable chair harnessed on their back, wandered around the city, either by foot or by bus, and than returned to the college. "In this performance, it was the body that activated and gave meaning to the object: the chair only taking on meaning when carried, otherwise, it became disjointed." [1] The chairs were then put on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. A second edition of the performance was also carried out with the students from Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) in Milan, 2011, and an installation of the chairs was presented at the exhibition "Un art pauvre" at the Centre Pompidou in 2016. The project series contains photographs of the performance by the students of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and photographs of the exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Art in 1971. It also contains three sketches for the chairs, a drawing of the performance and a statement about the perfomance. The project series also includes photographs of the performance of the NABA students in 2011.

Description:
This project series documents Diaologo Pettena-Arnolfo, an installation conceived by Pettena in 1968 for the "Premio Masaccio" (the "Masaccio Prize") exhibition in San Giovanni Valdarno. The exhibition was presented at the Palazzo Comunale, attributed to the Renaissance architect Arnolfo di Cambio. The installation closed off all open spaces in the portico of the Palazzo Comunale to create a new exhibition space. The "Premio Masaccio" exhibition was displayed in this new temporary gallery. Pettena "used the color black inside to create an abstract environment for the exhibition works while, on the outside, he drew large, diagonal black and silvers stripes on panels, as a deliberate contrast to the old city monument". [1] The project series contains a project description in Italian, photographs of the installation seen both from the outside and inside, and a perspective drawing showing the front facade of the Palazzo Comunale.

Description:
The project series documents "Tumbleweeds Catcher", an installation by Pettena and a group of his students from the University of Utah, in Salt Lake City, in 1972. The installation consisted of a tower-scaffold built on a vacant lot near the city centre and covered with mesh so it could capture the tumbleweeds blown by the wind. Through this installation Pettena's intention was to "highlight the 'work of the land', the tumbleweeds moved by the wind and intercepted by the mesh of the tower, 'naturalize' it, contaminate it, thereby embodying the revenge of nature over urbanized space." [1] A second edition was later presented at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City in 2013. The project series contains photographs of the installation in 1972 and 2013, and drawings and sketches of the tower. Source: [1] Marco Scotini, editor.

Description:
Le dossier documente la soumission pour le concours international de la Place Jacques-Cartier, à Montreal, Québec, tenu pendant l'été 1990. Jacques Rousseau s'est mérité le premier rang ex-aequo. Le dossier contient des dessins, des documents textuels, des reprographies et des photographies. Objectifs du concours: "The competition objectives and evaluation criteria in the Place Jacques-Cartier competition neither separated programmatic issues from specific architectural ones nor did they establish a hierarchy for these issues. The competitors were asked to generate general attitudes towards development in the area at the same time as they were asked to design street furniture, lighting, and decorative ironwork (mentioned at least 8 times in the competition document.)" Gary Gilbert, "Ceci n'est pas un concours", Arcade, juin-juillet 1991, vol. 11, nº 1, p. 12. Description du projet par l'architecte: "Alors que partout les signes et les messages se sont multipliés et superposés, que la parole est devenue inintelligible et le sens dilué, le silence apparaît comme le seuil d'appréciation d'une mémoire en devenir. Le projet que nos déposons cherche à comprendre la complexité contemporaine qui touche le site mais se refuse à la surcharge. Aussi cherche-t-il à accueillir une mémoire construire de silences mais soutient que le silence n'est pas se taire." Jacques Rousseau, ARQ: Architecture-Québec, nº 59, février 1991, p. 17.
