This project series documents the Centro de Alto Rendimento en el Balneario de Panticosa in Panticosa, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 32/00 A. The office assigned the date 2001 for this project. The project site is located in the mountains of Panticosa on the site of a spa resort. Siza's project was part of a revitalization project of the area supervised by Rafael Moneo. Moneo's project included the urban rehabilitation of the area and the renovation of the Nuestra Señora del Carmen church, as well as the construction of a hotel, a casino, and a cultural center. Siza's project consisted of a hotel for athletes, that included gymnasiums, exterior and interior pools, massage rooms, saunas, thermal baths, a solarium, a restaurant, a library, and a shop. During the beginning of the construction, a hot thermal watercourse was discovered under the project site and obliged the architect to revise the plans. The project was realized. Documenting this project are studies, design development drawings, and plans. Textual material includes project documentation and correspondence. Photographic material documents the project site, model, and built project.

AP164.S1.2004.D2
Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the library and botanical garden for the University of Alcalá de Henares, Spain. The firm identified the project as number 180. As described by the architects, the project “[…] concentrates on building two heads, different from each other, Library and Dining hall, shortening the fronts of the central building which are without interest and evidently expensive to undertake a functional and economic work. The project is therefore converted into a basic restoration of the old hangars and the construction of two new low cost buildings which also can be constructed when necessary or depending on economic availability” (ARCH270975). Documenting the project are models, conceptual, design development and presentation drawings, textual records and photographic materials.
