Description:
This project series documents the Casa Manuel Magalhães in Porto, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 29/60; in the past the office identified the project as number 119. The office assigned the dates 1967-1971 for this project. The project consisted of a concrete house located on Avenida dos Combatentes in Porto. There was no direct opening to the street and the building was surrounded by a cement wall. Client Manuel Magalhães commissioned the house as a rental home, but became personally involved during the construction and decided to move in with his family. In 2001, Siza designed an intercom for the house. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, plans, elevations, and details. Photographs, negatives, and slides document the site and building work. Textual documentation includes correspondence with the city of Porto, Manuel Magalhães and Fernando Teixeira Rodrigues.

Description:
This project series documents the furnishing of the education offices at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto in 1976. The office identified the project number as 7621. This project followed the construction of the Education and Extension (E&E) offices during Phase II of the expansion of the AGO. Beginning in 1969, Parkin’s firm was hired as the head architects for the AGO’s massive expansion program that would span more than a decade. This is one project relating to the expansion of the art gallery. It should be noted that while AGO project contracts were originally given to John B. Parkin Associates, John C. Parkin continued the project under his new firm, Parkin Architects Planners, after parting ways with partner John B. Parkin in 1971. The project is recorded through a letter to the client and a drawing of the office layout dating from 1976.
