Description:
This project series documents the restoration of the Grandes Armazéns do Chiado building in Lisbon, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 58/80 N4. The office assigned the dates 1988-1998 for this project. The Grandes Armazéns do Chiado was part of Bloco C and identified as building 4 in Siza's reconstruction plan. The site of the Grandes Armazéns served several different functions in its history, including a hotel, a palace, and a convent, before becoming a department store in 1894. In the 1920s, a hotel was created at the top floors. After the destructive fire of 1988, the new owners of the building were interested in using the totality of the building for a shopping mall and restaurants. On the other hand, Siza's proposal included the expansion of the hotel in the building to introduce more public activity in the area after the regular work and shopping hours. Several programs were proposed to the owners of the building, and it was decided in 1996 that the hotel space would be reduced to the two top floors to have more room for the shopping center. The new division included 41 hotel rooms and 41 stores. The interior of the shopping mall was designed by Eduardo Souto Moura. Drawings include studies, working drawings, mechanical drawings, and structural drawings. Textual material includes project documentation, studies, meeting reports, and correspondence. Photographic material includes photographs of the building before the fire, ruins, model, and construction work. Documentation for this project can also be found in subseries AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS1 and AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS7 of this project series.

Description:
Series 3: Construction working files and related correspondence, 1996 – 2015, contains CAD files and related textual records documenting the evolution of the Phaeno Science Centre project over time, particularly during the construction and post-construction phases. Formats represented include chiefly CAD drawings (plotter files, AutoCAD drawings, DXF), as well as text documents (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, PDF, plain text) and images (JPEG, TIFF). There is also a significant amount of email correspondence (MSG, MBOX). The bulk of the materials dates from 2000 – 2005. The materials in this series chiefly consist of project working files by year from 2002 to 2015 (non-inclusive). These directories primarily consist of plotter files and other construction drawings in CAD formats, both sent and received by ZHA. Alongside the drawings, there is also often a significant body of textual material, including email correspondence, memoranda, meeting minutes, translations, legal documentation, and other administrative material. Taken altogether, the working files provide insight into the construction of the Phaeno Science Centre as it evolved over time. In addition to the working files, there are also a number of other files arranged topically. This includes material for construction permit applications, invoices to the client and contractors, construction schedules and pricing, materials related to consultants, and additional detail drawings. Notably, this series also contains the email archives of Sara Klomps, a project architect for the Phaeno Science Centre from the early 2000s through at least 2015. These materials reflect her work on the project, particularly communication with the client and consultants, as well as the arc of her career at ZHA, where she became associate director in 2014.
