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:
The project series documents Minimum Cost Housing Group's project of research, design and construction to demonstrate the benefits of urban agriculture as a permanent feature in housing design and urban planning. A first phase of the project, from 2004 to 2007, the study project took place in developping countries in three diffrent sites: Colombo, Sri Lanka; Rosario, Argentina; and Kampala, Uganda. The project was funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and supported by the ETC-Urban Agriculture Unit in the Netherlands and the Resource centres on Urban Agriculture and Food Security (RUAF). In 2007, a second phase of the project had for objective to implement an urban agriculture production in Montréal. The Minimum Cost Housing Group team created, on McGill Campus, a vegetable garden on the terrace of a parking garage. The project is now known as "Making Edible Campus" and is still on-going. The material in this project series was produced between 2003 and 2010. The project series contains a large collection of working documents and reports submitted to funding institutions, correspondence with collaborators on the three sites, and also photographss of the project in Colombo, Kampala, Rosario sites. Also included are various artefacts related to the sites in the three developping countries and a board game "Gardenpoly" created by the Urban Agriculture seminar students on urban agriculture in Montréal. Promotional panels for the Making Edible Campus are also included.
