Project
AP178.S1.1992.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the Helsinki Museum of Contemporary Art. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 28/90. The office assigned the dates 1992-1993 to this project. For the 75th anniversary of the independence of the country, the Finnish government held a competition for the design of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Helsinki. The competition was exclusive to Scandinavian architects, with the exception of four invited architects, including Àlvaro Siza. Eduardo Souto de Moura collaborated with Siza on the design. The project site was located in the center of Helsinki, near the main post office and the Parliament. Siza decided to name the building Cometa. The proposal included exhibition spaces, teaching and public facilities, an auditorium, workrooms, workshops, storerooms, film studio, and spaces for the administration and archives. The showrooms were located on the first floor and most of the lighting was intended to come from natural light. The design proposed by Siza included the use of granite for the exterior of the building. Steven Holl was selected by the jury to built the museum. Documenting this project are floor plans, sections, elevations, and site plans. Textual material includes project documentation, competition documentation, and correspondence. Photographs and negatives document the project site.

Pahang Tenggara
AP027.S1.D51
Description:
The preparation of a comprehensive plan for the socio-economic development of Pahang Tenggara, a region of approximately 4,000 square miles. A master plan for the optimum utilization and development of its human and natural resources over a 20 year period was prepared. A complete inventory of the physical condition and natural resources of the area was required, as well as an assessment of the human and economic capabilities, both in its adjoining regions and the nation as a whole. The plan provides guidelines and a basic framework for future development by public, government-assisted and private investments until 1990. The plan also details the economic feasibility of primary resources and secondary industrial projects, and all related social and physical infrastructure requirements.
