Guardiola House
AP143.S4.D73
Description:
File documents the unexecuted project for Guardiola House, Cádiz, Spain. Material in this file was produced in 1988. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, photographic material, presentation drawings, working drawings, models, and textual records. Drawings by Eisenman include conceptual sketches (DR1994:0147:001-004), and a drawing and final presentation drawing of the transformation process (DR1994:0147:279; DR1994:0147:635). Drawings by Eisenman's office include: samples for serigraphed drawings (DR1994:0147:644-669); drawings for house model construction (DR1994:0147:387-438); and presentation drawings in coloured film on KC5 (DR1994:0147:635-643). A schematic set shows an early scheme for the house: a site and situation plan, two longitudinal sections, floor and roof plans, transverse sections and a section showing construction materials (DR1994:0147:361-367). Four "record blueprint sets" of working drawings are dated between April and May 1988 (DR1994:0147:606-609). Documents include a list of security procedures for Eisenman's office, a schedule for Guardiola House, a report from Static engineering firm, Barcelona, a copy of the Aedes Gallery catalogue on Guardiola House, a filing index and list of the drawings, an address directory, a description of the project, correspondance, and a contract between the architect and client (DR1994:0147:1069-1071). Photographs and photocopies document an early working model of the house which no longer exists (photographs: DR1994:0147:1054-1056; photocopies: DR1994:0147:1056-1067). Miscellaneous drawings in this group include: an incomplete set of blueprints of Alvaro Siza's project for the same site (DR1994:0147:1073); a set of working drawings by Spanish architects for a project in Barcelona which Eisenman referred to when developing this project (DR1994:0147:1074); and Eisenman's designs for a lamp and carpet for Cleto Munari (not part of this project; DR1994:0147:894-1049). Conceptual drawings include plans, site plans, elevations, sections, and axonometrics - mostly black felt-tip pen and/or graphite on white or yellow tracing paper. Design development drawings include plans, site plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and axonometrics - some graphite on tracing vellum; sets - many blueline prints on wove paper; and reprographic copies - some photocopies on tracing vellum or wove paper. Presentation drawings include plans, elevations, and sections - all translucent adhesive coloured film on stats; reprographic copies - all stats; and screen prints on wove paper. Working drawings include plans, site plans, elevations, sections, and details - some pen and black ink on mylar; sets - many coloured pencil on blueline prints on wove paper; and reprographic copies - some photocopies on wove paper. Furniture drawings include plans and elevations for a lamp and carpets - many black felt-tip pen on yellow tracing paper; reprographic copies - mostly photocopies on wove paper; and a manuscript - one typescript on wove paper. Parts of models include - all grey paint on cardboard; photographs of a model; and reprographic copies - all photocopies of photographs of models. Textual records include project files, notes, correspondence, and project files - mostly typescripts on wove paper; sets include copies of drawings - many photocopies on wove paper; and reprographic copies - one photocopy on wove paper. Models include one grey paint on wood and cardboard model.

Álvaro Siza fonds
AP178
Description:
The Álvaro Siza fonds documents the architectural work of Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza. Records in this fonds document Siza’s projects from 1958-2012, including built and unbuilt designs. A collaborative project was established between the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), Fundação de Serralves, and Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian to allow for international research and access to the archive. The archive is shared by the three institutions with each institution holding different projects while collaborating on the descriptive work and increasing the visibility of the archive. The holdings at both the Fundação de Serralves and Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian focus on Siza’s Portuguese projects, while the portion of the archive held by the CCA mainly includes Siza’s projects abroad. All three institutions are committed to describing the archive and making it accessible for scholarly research. The processing of the Siza archive held by the CCA has been divided into four phases to allow for access to parts of the archive while still in process. For the first, second, and third phases, the processing archivist has described the projects from the fifties, sixties, and seventies, as well as projects for the IBA competition in Berlin, urban renewal projects in The Hague from the eighties, urban plans, museums, and individual houses between 1980 and 2000. The processing archivist has also described approximately 203 sketchbooks. Many of these sketchbooks include sketches related to architectural projects which were processed. The complete list of projects processed by the CCA to date can be found in series AP178.S1. The bulk of the Álvaro Siza fonds is arranged in Series AP178.S1, which contains documentation for over 200 of Siza’s architectural projects. Records in this archive are predominantly from 1970 to 2000. Series AP178.S1 mainly contains conceptual, design development, presentation, and working drawings. Also included are photographic materials, models, born digital records, and textual documentation, which include correspondence, project proposals, and notes. The architect’s creative process is captured in 282 sketchbooks arranged in Series AP178.S2. In all there are approximately 60 000 drawings, 3000 folders of textual documentation, 9.46 linear meters of photographs and negatives, 6,545 slides, 250 CD-ROMS, 101 floppy disks, and 371 models that document the architectural activities of Siza and his office. Among the drawings are sketches by Siza on various items, such as napkins, receipts, envelopes, or on the back of working drawings. The fonds contains several types of architectural projects including residential buildings, museums, universities, urban plans, offices, and city restorations. Of particular significance are the sketchbooks, comprised of sketches for architectural projects, Siza’s travels, people, and animals as well as notes and draft letters. The sketchbooks are organized in chronological order, starting in the late 1970’s to the beginning of the 2000’s. Locations, notes, and dates have also been identified on the front of each sketchbook along with the sketchbook number. The sketchbooks provide a unique perspective of Siza’s use of drawing as part of his work process.
