Project
AP178.S1.2000.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Complexo Desportivo "Ribera - Serrallo" in Cornellà de Llobregat near Barcelona, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 3/00. The office assigned the date 2000 for this project. The sports complex consisted of a multipurpose pavilion, an aquatic centre and gymnasiums. The building also included a foyer, restaurant, terrace, and a VIP area. Of particular interest was the small opening in the building that linked the exterior and interior pool, as well as the 62 circular pool skylights. The project was built and Siza was awarded the Secil prize in 2006 for this building. In 2010, a new customer request called for the creation of a game room and toy library. This is documented in the project series through a study model (see model ARCH281281). Documenting this project are sketches, studies, plans, working drawings, technical drawings and details. Textual materials include correspondence and project documentation. Photographic materials document construction work and the built project.

Description:
This project subseries documents the Clubhouse de Vidago in Vidago, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 49/00. The office assigned the dates 2007-2010 to this project. The project, part of larger renovations to the Vidago Palace Hotel, consisted of the conversion of an old building into the new golf clubhouse. Originally constructed in 1886, the stone building was first used for bottling the Vidago spring water. The clubhouse consisted of a large restaurant and bar space, with white walls, high ceilings and a central skylight to illuminate its spacious interior. A golf shop and dressing room were also part of the clubhouse. Siza designed two other buildings for the new 18-hole golf course, the golf academy and the maintenance building, but neither of these was ever realized. This project subseries is recorded through photographic materials, drawings, study models and textual records dating from 2002-2015. These records document the clubhouse, the golf academy and the maintenance building. The photographic materials are mostly printed digital photos showing the site, construction work, the model and reference images. The drawings include studies, plans, elevations, sections, details, and structural, mechanical and electrical drawings. The textual records include furniture documentation, records for permits, budgets, supplier catalogues, correspondence and meeting minutes. There are also a number of records documenting various mechanical, electrical and structural systems.

Description:
The project series documents the urban planning project under the consortium “Chamartin Operation” for the extension of the avenue Paseo de la Castellana. The firm identified the project as number 153. “Abalos & Herreros developed the architectural consultancy for this ambitious project initiated by R. Bofill and nowadays its in time of adaptation to the urban conditions and the real conditions under the direction of J. M. Ezquiaga. The prime aim of [their] work consists of the establishment of the constructed typologies, the occupation models and the relation between public and housing space for searching a possible compatibility in an environment that soon will be seen as centric in the urban map of Madrid.” (ARCH270975) Documenting the project are conceptual and design development drawings, photographic materials, project descriptions, and notes.

AP056.S1
Description:
The Architectural Projects series, 1984-2003, records 125 architectural projects from Canada, the United States, Germany and Switzerland. These projects include university buildings and campuses, public spaces, civic buildings, offices, interior and industrial design, residences, museums, theatres and concert halls, a winery, and retail stores. The projects include built work, proposals and competition entries. Projects were identified and separated based on distinct project numbers assigned by the creating office, along with the project dates and titles when further clarification was necessary. The project numbering scheme used by the office was not consistent, but most of the numbers are four digits and begin with last two digits of the project start year. These projects are recorded primarily through drawings, but some photographs, paintings, textual records, periodicals, and models are also included in this series. The majority of drawings for each project are originals and a large part of reprographic copies have annotations. The drawings for each project typically consist of surveys, sketches, plans, sections, elevations, axonometric drawings, details, perspectives, and drawings issued for construction. Some of the drawings are mounted for presentation purposes. A large number of furnishing drawings are also included for interior design projects. Photographs in this series show finished work completed by the firm, the project models, and reproductions of drawings and paintings. The paintings in this series are mostly watercolours used for presentation. The textual records are very sparse in this series and consist of rough notes used to supplement drawings. The periodicals are magazines that highlight the completed projects. The amount of materials for each project vary greatly, with built projects having the most complete records and project proposals having the least.
