Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the Tip Top Tailors building on Lake Shore Boulevard in Toronto in 1994. The office identified the project number as 9402. This project, headed by Bruce Kuwabara, consisted of a proposal for a new, mixed-use development on the site behind the iconic Tip Top Tailors building, originally built in the 1920s. Situated on the shoreline of Lake Ontario, the main tower of the development would have a boat shaped silhouette to reflect its nautical surroundings. The base would consist of office, retail and communal spaces, while the tower would hold residential apartments, a restaurant and health club. The project also proposed renovations to the existing building, including the addition of three penthouse floors clad in metal and glass and back from the other levels to respect the character of the existing concrete building. In total, 382,390 square feet of new construction was proposed along with 258,170 square feet of renovations and additions. This competition entry was never realized. The project is recorded through drawings and presentation paintings dating from on or around 1994. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations and perspectives.

Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the Tip Top Tailors building on Lake Shore Boulevard in Toronto in 1994. The office identified the project number as 9402. This project, headed by Bruce Kuwabara, consisted of a proposal for a new, mixed-use development on the site behind the iconic Tip Top Tailors building, originally built in the 1920s. Situated on the shoreline of Lake Ontario, the main tower of the development would have a boat shaped silhouette to reflect its nautical surroundings. The base would consist of office, retail and communal spaces, while the tower would hold residential apartments, a restaurant and health club. The project also proposed renovations to the existing building, including the addition of three penthouse floors clad in metal and glass and back from the other levels to respect the character of the existing concrete building. In total, 382,390 square feet of new construction was proposed along with 258,170 square feet of renovations and additions. This competition entry was never realized. The project is recorded through drawings and presentation paintings dating from on or around 1994. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations and perspectives.

Description:
The project series documents the 1983 design entry for the Kulturforum. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 21/80. The office assigned the date 1983 for this project. This project was a competition entry for the International Architectural Exhibition Berlin competition (International Bauaustellung, IBA, circa 1979-1987), an urban renewal strategy for West Berlin, Germany. Siza also submitted five other entries to the IBA: Görtlitzer Bad swimming pool; Block 70 and 89 (Fränkelufer residential complex); Bonjour Tristesse (Block 121); Block 11-12; and Monument to Gestapo victims. The Kulturforum was a complex of cultural buildings. The site underwent many changes during Nazi Germany and post-war with the construction of the National Library of Staatsbibliothek, designed by Hans Scharoun. Two examples of features that the IBA asked participants to include in their design proposals were to exclude vehicle traffic between the library and national gallery, and to reinterpret the Forum space. Documenting this project are several sketches and studies. There are also plans, elevations, and axonometric drawings of site plans. Siza’s office has indicated on some of the studies that they were possibly not created by Siza. Where this is the case it has been noted with the physical material. Photographs and negatives document the competition site and model, and there are transparencies and slides of drawings. Also included is textual documentation on the competition site and a few letters from members of the Berlin Senate, two of which are from Brigitte Cassirer (later Brigitte Fleck).
