The project series documents the restructuring of public space in Ramos, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. The design was for an international competition “Rio cidade 2,” organized by Rio de Janeiro City Council. In 1997, Héctor Vigliecca (Héctor Vigliecca e Associados), Eduardo Horta and Fabiana Izaga (Izaga e Horta Arquitectos Associados Ltda.), and Abalos & Herreros won the competition. The project was built and final touches were left to German artist Albert Oehlen, who designed the pavement. The firm identified this project as number 106. Documenting this project are conceptual and design development drawings, correspondence, reports, guides, contracts, clippings and digital materials.

Project
AP164.S1.1997.D11
Description:
The project series documents the commission for the municipal hall and main square of the city of Colmenarejo. One of the objectives of the project was to “strengthen civic life” (ARCH270975). The main square, Plaza de la Constitución, was organized around elements to be preserved and the town hall was seen as an extension of the square. The project was built. The firm identified this project as number 112. The Abalos & Herreros worked with Ángel Jaramillo, David Franco, Carolina González and Juan Gómez. Documenting the project are conceptual, design development and working drawings, project descriptions, correspondence, notes, budgets, estimates, certifications, invoices, reports, contracts, and reference, graphic, photographic and digital materials.
