Description:
This project series contains eight reproductions of drawings displayed in the exhibit to document the Leal neighbourhood, in Porto, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that the project: ... pioneered the concept of community association, with the first resident activities dating back to the early 1970s. In 1974, immediately after the revolution, the residents opposed the building of a car park that would have involved their relocation and resettlement. The project of the architect Sérgio Fernandez, which originated in a pre-revolutionary resident organization, was conceived through the dynamics of the resident process, and had a project-oriented clarity that came from an economic sense of design, adapting to the needs and political character of the intervention. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Sérgio Fernandez worked for SAAL/North with António Corte Real, Carlos Delfim, Emídio Fonseca, José Manuel Soares, Vítor Sinde and the residents' association Bairro do Leal, that was founded on April 30th, 1975. The first phase of the project included 16 dwellings and the second, 33 dwellings. The operation began in October 1974, with a construction date in April 1976. This project series contains reproductions of design development drawings, cadastral and implementation plans, and an axonometric view. The original drawings were produced in 1975 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.

Description:
This project series documents the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporânea in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 54/80. The office assigned the date 1988 for this project. This project was commissioned by the Xunta de Galicia for the autonomous community of Galicia in Spain. The building was located near the Galego Pobo Museum and the Convento de Santo Domingo de Bonaval. The museum was approximately 75,000 square feet and divided into two L-shaped structures. The building had four floors and included exhibition halls, a terrace, a cafeteria, administrative spaces, an auditorium, and a library. The exterior was principally made of granite panels. The exhibition spaces were very bright, principally due to the natural light that came from multiple openings in the building as well as the white walls. The floors of the public spaces and exhibition rooms were made of Greek marble. Siza also transformed the Convento de Santo Domingo de Bonaval garden into a public park. The park was understood as an extension of the museum. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, preliminary drawings, plans and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models, project site and built project.
