Description:
This project series documents the restoration of the Grandella building in Lisbon, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 58/80 N5. The office assigned the date 1988-1998 for this project. The destructive fire of 1988 started in The Grandella building. It was part of Bloco C and identified as building 5 in Siza's reconstruction plan. It was originally designed by French architect George Demaye and built by Francisco de Almeida Grandella in 1907. Siza's program included the introduction of new functions, including cultural, administrative, and retail activities. Due to the historic importance of the building in Lisbon, a particular effort was made to restore the original façade. Drawings include studies, working drawings, mechanical drawings and structural drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, studies, meeting reports and correspondence. Photographic material includes photographs of the building before the fire, ruins, and construction work. There is also a study model for this project. Documentation can also be found in subseries Master plans and exterior spaces (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS1) and Bloco C (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS7).

This project series documents the Biblioteca de Humanidades de la Universidade de Salamanca in Salamanca, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 103/90. The office assigned the date 1998 to this project. The project site was located on the site of the Colegio Mayor de Cuenca near the Palacio de Congresos built by Juan Navarro Baldeweg. Previously on this site was the Convento de San Agustin, which was destroyed during the Peninsular War. During the construction of the Colegio Mayor de Cuence archeological artifacts were discovered. The library was originally part of Siza's intervention in Salamanca, including a building for the Fundación Caja Duero and a building for the Fundación Germán Sánchez Ruipérez. None of these projects were realized. The design for the library included three floors and a basement and integrates architectural vestiges. The project was not realized. Documenting this project are sketches, mechanical drawings, plumbing drawings, structural drawings and annotated plans.

This project series documents the Plano de Expansão da Cidade de Macau (Areia P. e Porto E.) in Macau, China. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 16/80. The office assigned the date 1982 to this project. Macau is a Chinese-Portuguese peninsula near the Pear River Delta on the south coast of China. After 1950, the speedy industrial growth caused massive waves of immigration and created housing problems. Macau's governement wanted to reorganize the urban landscape in order to readapt the territory to the economic and political realities. Siza was hired by the P&T Group as part of a team of specialist-consultants to rethink the districts of Areia Preta and Porto Exterior. A first proposal was submitted in 1984. The proposed plans were accepted by the authorities years later, but never realized due to the construction of hotels and casinos instead of housing. Documenting this project are studies, plans and project site plans. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models and project site. These materials date from 1981-2012.

Description:
This project series documents interior design for Main Street of Hasbro Headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island from 1989-1991. The office identified the project number as 8902. This project consisted of the interiors of the company's headquarters for an area of the building known as Main Street. This was the first in a series of projects that the firm would complete for the headquarters. The 300,000 square foot building was predominantly one-storey and located on the block between Saratoga, Grand, London and Newport Avenues. The three projects were known as Main Street, Phase 2A and Phase 2B. Phase 1 was completed in 1986 by Barton Myers Associates with Shirley Blumberg as partner-in-charge. These subsequent projects by KPMB were also headed by Shirley Blumberg and continued the initial style she had established in Phase 1. These projects saw the conversion of a historic brick and masonry mill into the company's new offices. The office structure was inspired by the layout of a Greek town, with a main street running through it. Main Street was a wide corridor which spanned the length of the building, acting as a central artery for activity. The corridor was flooded with natural light from the original saw tooth skylights on the ceiling and lantern-like offices lined the sides. Small rooms were positioned in the corridor, including the main conference room with a large curved wall, a reception area and two smaller conference rooms. Maple screens, translucent glass and steel were the prominent materials used for Main Street. The project is recorded through drawings dating from 1987-1988. These are mostly original drawings and include sketches, plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, details, and furniture drawings. Many of the plans focus on the design of the executive bathroom.
