Description:
This project series documents the Plano Urbanistico para a Marginal de Leça e Zona da Boa Nova in Matosinhos, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 22/60. In the past the office identified the project as number 113. The office assigned the dates 1965-1974 for this project. This project was part of an urban renewal program of Matosinhos. Originally, the Avenida Marginal de Leça da Palmeira was a ring road mainly used to access the beaches but it later became a central road to access north and east parts of the city. Traffic and lack of parking spaces became problematic. The project consisted of an urbanization plan for Leça da Palmeira and Boa Nova, a new design for the layout of the pipelines between the Port of Leixões and SACOR Refinery, and a new design for da Marginal street that improve access to the Ocean swimming pool and others facilities of the area. Drawings include topographic surveys, studies, sketches, plans and profiles. Textual materials include a building program, notes and correspondence between Siza, the city of Matosinhos, and SACOR. Photographic materials and slides document the project site and model. It is also important to note that several Siza's projects were built in this area and are present in some sketches of this project, including the Casa de Chá, Restaurante da Boa Nova, Ocean swimming pool, and Monumento ao poeta António Nobre.

Description:
This project series documents the Edifício Zaida Habitação e Comércio in Granada, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 98/90. The office assigned the dates 1998-2006 to this project. The project was divided in three components, each represented in the following project subseries: the Zaida building (AP178.S1.1998.PR03.SS1), the Caja Rural de Granada (AP178.S1.1998.PR03.SS2) and the Casa Pátio (AP178.S1.1998.PR03.SS3). The project, realized with local architect Juan Domingo Santos, redeveloped three ajacent parcels of land that faced the Plaza Puerta Real. This included the demolition of the nineteenth century Zaida Hotel that existed on the site and the incorporation of an existing nineteenth century courtyard style home (Casa Pátio). The project was built in two phases, beginning with the Zaida building in phase 1 and continuing with the Casa Pátio in phase 2. The Zaida building was six-storeys with commerical and office spaces on the first three levels and residential dwellings on the upper three. The two bottom floors of the building's exterior were constructed from grey stone, while the top four storeys were white stucco. The bank branch Caja Rural de Granada was located on the ground level of the building. While the architect sought to save and preserve the Casa Pátio, eventually it had to be reinterpretted and attached to the main volume. It was integrated with the main building using the same white stucco exterior.

AP056.S1.1992.PR03
Description:
This project series documents interior design work for Creative Copy and Design in Toronto in 1992. The office identified the project number as 9203. This project consisted of interiors for the high resolution imaging company, Creative Copy and Design, located on the ground floor of King James Place at 145 King Street East. The office was made up of an unfinished ground floor and existing mezzanine at the back, totalling 2630 square feet. The ground floor interiors consisted mainly of the reception area, which was visible from the sidewalk through the office's glass storefront. The reception area was comprised of two long, boomerang-shaped counters, and one rectangular counter behind them, made of wood with plastic laminate tops. The wood was stained to match the corrugated wood wall that ran the length of the room, directly behind the three counters. A large, ellipse-shaped lighting fixture made from fibre glass panels and steel stud framing was a prominent feature above the reception area. Bathrooms and a processing area were located behind the wall, as well as a stair case leading to the mezzanine, which contained work stations and an additional processing area. The program also included electrical and mechanical installation. The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1992. The drawings consist of sketches, a floor plan, and a set of construction drawings with specifications and schedules. The photographs show the completed project.
