Description:
This project series documents the plano de Doedijnstraat, the residential settlement in Schilderswijk, The Hague, The Netherlands. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 63/80. The office assigned the date 1989 for this project. In 1993 Siza was awarded the Berlage Prize for this residential project of 238 flats. The project was part of an urban renewal program in The Hague for which Siza had already worked on other projects: the urban plan for Deelgebied Zone 5, Schilderswijk-West and Punt en Komma social housing; the housing and shopping complex in Schilderswijk; and the Van der Vennepark. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, elevations, plans and details. Textual documentation includes correspondence, such as letters to and from Siza, letters to Jeoron Geurst (from the associated architectural firm Geurst & Schulze architekten), and letters to and from project architect Carlos Castenheira. Furthermore, there is correspondence to and from members of the Woningbouwvereniging and several letters from Ing. J. van Gulik (project leader). Other documentation includes cost estimates and meeting minutes. Also included in this project series are negatives, photographs and slides documenting the model, site and various dwellings.

Description:
This project subseries documents the Parque de Vidago Moradias Turísticas. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 49/00. The office assigned the date 2002 to this project. The project consisted of the modification of rural buildings into vacation homes and artist residences. The building program outlined the recovery of 4 rural buildings with the intention to keep the existing stone walls and wooden roofs. The documentation also highlights the use of the homes as a place for visting artists to stay. This may have been proposed in conjunction with the desire to modify the existing garage into an art exhibition space. These residences are refered to as "Nùcleo Rural" in the documentation. The project was not realized. This project subseries is documented through drawings, photographic materials and textual records dating from 2005-2009. The drawings are mostly printed reprographic copies of CAD drawings, many of which have annotations. These include plans, details and structural, electrical and mechanical drawings. The photographic materials, which are printed digital photos, show the existing buildings and surrounding site. The textual records include technical documentation and specifications, supplier catalogues, building permit documentation, building programs and budgets.

Description:
This project series documents the Parque de Santo Domingo de Bonaval in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 3/90. The office assigned the date 1990 to this project. The project was for the Santo Domingo de Bonaval Park, located in the gardens of the Convent of Santo Domingo de Bonaval and an abandoned cementery. The park was part of the construction of the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporânea and was understood as an extension of it. The design was a collaboration between landscape architect Isabel Aguirre and Álvaro Siza. There was also a restoration component to the project which included restoring the pavement, paths, fountains and walls. The park, measuring 37 047 square metres, included an Eduardo Chillida sculpture. Siza and Aguirre decided not to include trash bins in the park and designed fifty-six benches. The project received the Premio Nacional de Arquitectura Manuel de la Dehesa award in 1997. Documenting this project are studies, preliminary drawings, plans and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, notes and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models, project site and built project.

This project series documents a competition for the Ciudad del Flamenco de Jerez de la Frontera in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 56/00. The office assigned the date 2002 to this project. The competition for the Ciudad del Flamenco was part of an urban revitalization project for the historic center of Jerez. The competition was organized by the Ayuntamiento de Jerez. Six proposals were presented to the jury, including a design by Àlvaro Siza and Juan Miguel Hernández León. The project included the design of an auditorium, a museum, a documentation and research center, a school, and communal spaces. The buildings were to host The National Auditorium of Flamenco Art, the Museum and the Center for Investigation, and Documentation of the Art of Flamenco (CIDAF). The proposal was "a complex of prisms and courtyards wisely articulated between one another, rounded off by a sculptural trapezoidal and cantilevering piece'' (http://ciudaddelflamenco.jerez.es/flash/concurso.pdf p. 6). Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron's proposal won the competition. Documenting this project are studies, competition drawings, and plans. Textual documentation includes correspondence with the client and competition documentation.

Description:
This project series documents a park in Oakville, Ontario in 1994. The office identified the project number as 9401. This project was the winning entry in a competition to design a park in an area known as the Uptown Core, which was undergoing major transformations at the time. The park, now known as Oak Park, stretched several blocks north-east from the Sixth Line. The large part of the design included a greenhouse pavilion overlooking a lake, accompanied by a bridge that extended south-west towards a wooded area. The project is recorded through drawings and presentation watercolour paintings dating from around 1994. The drawings are mostly originals and primarily include site surveys, sketches, plans, elevations and perspectives.

This project series documents a proposed mixed-use development at the corner of Phoebe and Soho Streets in Toronto from 1995-1997. The office identified the project number as 9513. This project proposed a large development on approximately 75,000 square feet of land that would host condominiums, parking areas, common outdoor spaces, retail and other amenities. Several schemes were examined that varied in the number of buildings, their configuration on the site, and on specific amenities that would be provided. The project was commissioned by The Wittington Group, but was never built. The project is recorded through drawings, a presentation painting and some accompanying textual records dating from 1995-1997. The drawings are mostly original sketches and presentation drawings.

This project consisted of an expansion to the north-west corner of the U-shaped building, which was located on top of a ravine at 1150 Eglington Avenue East, on the same property as the IBM plant. The planning for this addition had already commenced when the original building's construction began by Parkin Architects Planners in 1965 (see project series AP018.S1.1965.PR03 described in this fonds). The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1970, which consist of construction sets of architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical drawings.
