AP178.S1
Description:
Series AP178.S1 is the largest series of the Álvaro Siza fonds and documents over 200 of Siza’s built and unbuilt architectural projects. The series is divided into project series which are arranged chronologically by project year. Presently, materials in this series range from 1958-2012. The CCA will also receive materials documenting Siza’s more recent work in future additions. Documenting the projects are conceptual, design, presentation, and working drawings, as well as photographic materials, textual documentation, and models. Although the drawings for each project have been identified, Siza often sketches or doodles on textual documentation, such as minutes of meetings or notes. When possible, folders that include textual documents with sketches or doodles have been identified. Amounts and types of materials vary from project to project. Project documentation is usually in Portuguese, with some exceptions including French, English, German, and Dutch. Most project series include sketches, studies, and working drawings. Other drawings included are site plans, floor plans, topographic surveys, elevations, sections, as well as technical and mechanical details. Also documenting the projects are photographic materials and textual documentation, such as correspondence, building programs, contracts, notes, and other working details. Photographic materials found within this archive are slides, negatives, photomontages and photographs of project sites and models.The photomontages were often used to study the function of the project site. To fully understand Siza’s methodology, sketchbooks (Series AP178.S2) should be viewed alongside the project drawings, when possible. Each project series description highlights sketchbooks in series AP178.S2 which contain related sketches. It is important to note that not all projects are represented in the sketchbooks in Series AP178.S2. Moreover, project series descriptions only list related sketchbooks when sketches have been positively identified as related to the corresponding project. The Siza fonds will be processed in four phases. The materials processed in the first, second, and third phases are architectural projects from the 1950’s, 1960’s, and 1970’s; urban planning projects; Reconstrução do Chiado; Berlin projects submitted to the IBA competition; cultural institutions; individual houses; and the Plano de urbanização Deelgebied 5 Schilderswijk-West in The Hague. Among The Hague and the Berlin projects are the Punt en Komma social housing, Bonjour Tristesse, and the Residential settlement in Schilderswijk. This series is better understood in the context of how the records for architectural projects were arranged by Siza’s office. Earlier projects were initially numbered by Siza’s office and then received new project numbers by the office archivist, who joined the office in the 1990s. Project files have been kept in the order in which they were received by the CCA, which is how they were arranged by the office archivist. The project numbers and dates assigned by Siza’s office archivist are included in the descriptions for each project and form the basis for the arrangement of this series. The office archivist numbered projects consecutively by decade, for instance, 58/80 was the 58th project during the 1980s. Numbers which were included in square brackets, ex. [14]/75, show that the project was not a ‘full’ project and contains a small amount of documentation. When projects are followed by a letter (A, B, C) this signifies a project is connected to the first. When the project number is followed by a number (1, 2, 3) this signifies a separate building within a larger project. For the purposes of arrangement, project numbers that were assigned a letter or number are arranged as sub-series of the related project series. Exceptions to this numbering convention are projects 23/60, 25/60, 28/60, 33/60, 34/60 and 35/60. These projects were not in the office’s original project list and were not officially considered projects. The office archivist assembled documentation related to these projects and assigned them numbers. In the early 2000s a large number of photographic materials were gathered together by the office archivist from various correspondence files for a digitization project initiated by the office. These materials remained housed together as a photograph collection in the office. Not all of these materials were digitized by the office. Those that were digitized were assigned numbers which have been identified in the file descriptions. It is important to note that several photographic materials were left with the textual documentation or drawings. When this is the case they are identified in the file description. There are also several panoramic photomontages which were created by either gluing or taping several photographs together to make panoramas of project sites.

AP177.S2
Description:
This series contains additional CAD and 3D modeling work made by David Ruy for RUR Architecture in order to achieve the design of architectural elements of the Kansai-kan National Diet Library competition. Files are identified as parts or elements of the building such as “upper slab”, “pig” (term used for the theater), “topo[graphical] lines”, “spiral” (a part of the store), “diagram”, “catwalks”, “ramps”, etc. File names are similar to the ones found in AP177.S1, which could indicate that the files represent different versions of the digital drawings. Under the directory FINAL PLANS, file names suggest digital drawings presenting more substantial parts of the building such as “conference level”, “plan”, and “hanging volume”. Files were created using form*Z and Alias and were saved in FMZ, DXF and OBJ formats. Series also includes, in the “scans” directory, digitized images, in JPEG format, of manual drawings of the upper and lower slab with topographical lines, the spiral and the placing of support points.

Description:
This series documents nine projects by the firm Rosen, Caruso, Vecsei Architects. The practice was opened in partnership by Bernard Rosen, Irving Caruso and André Vecsei. The latter was partner until his departure in 1984 when he founded Vecsei Architects with Eva Hollo Vecsei. During his time at Rosen, Caruso, Vecsei Architect, André was the partner in charge of several projects including: Twenty-five story apartment building, Lincoln Avenue and St. Mathieu Street, Montréal, Québec (circa 1962-1974); Nursing home, Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec (circa 1962-1970); Senoir’s home, Manoir Outremont, Outremont, Québec (1977); Intermunicipal library, Pierrefonds, Montréal, Québec (circa 1980-1984). Eva Hollo Vecsei did not work for the firm Rosen, Caruso, Vecsei Architects. This series documents the following projects: Golf clubhouse, Mirabel, Québec (circa 1962-1970); Fraternity house, Montréal, Québec (circa 1964); Marina, Expo 67, Montréal, Québec (1965-1966); Engineering Institute of Canada, Montréal, Québec (circa 1967); International Civil Aviation Organisation building, Montréal, Québec (circa 1974); Seniors home, Manoir Outremont, Outremont, Québec (1977); Fort de la Montagne, Westmount, Québec (circa 1980-1982); and City hall and municipal library, Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec (circa 1981-1984). Also included are sketches from 1962 to 1984 for an unidentified project. Collection material in this series was produced between 1974 and 2006. Documenting the series are architectural records, such as conceptual, design, presentation, and working drawings, as well as photographs, digital material (mainly photographs), and a sketchbook. The bulk of the material was produced between 1981 and 1984, which corresponds to the period during which André Vecsei worked on the city hall and municipal library, in Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec. Documenting this project are working drawings and a few digitized sketches and photographs.

During his time at Rosen, Caruso, Vecsei Architect, André was the partner in charge of several projects including: Twenty-five story apartment building, Lincoln Avenue and St. Mathieu Street, Montréal, Québec (circa 1962-1974); Nursing home, Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec (circa 1962-1970); Senoir’s home, Manoir Outremont, Outremont, Québec (1977); Intermunicipal library, Pierrefonds, Montréal, Québec (circa 1980-1984). Eva Hollo Vecsei did not work for the firm Rosen, Caruso, Vecsei Architects. This series documents the following projects: Golf clubhouse, Mirabel, Québec (circa 1962-1970); Fraternity house, Montréal, Québec (circa 1964); Marina, Expo 67, Montréal, Québec (1965-1966); Engineering Institute of Canada, Montréal, Québec (circa 1967); International Civil Aviation Organisation building, Montréal, Québec (circa 1974); Seniors home, Manoir Outremont, Outremont, Québec (1977); Fort de la Montagne, Westmount, Québec (circa 1980-1982); and City hall and municipal library, Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec (circa 1981-1984). Also included are sketches from 1962 to 1984 for an unidentified project. Collection material in this series was produced between 1974 and 2006. Documenting the series are architectural records, such as conceptual, design, presentation, and working drawings, as well as photographs, digital material (mainly photographs), and a sketchbook. The bulk of the material was produced between 1981 and 1984, which corresponds to the period during which André Vecsei worked on the city hall and municipal library, in Côte-Saint-Luc, Québec. Documenting this project are working drawings and a few digitized sketches and photographs.

Description:
Series consists of reference documentation in the form of portfolios of selected materials from various OCEAN North projects. It is likely that Kivi Sotamaa did not contribute to all of the included projects. For the most part, records are images of work done with CAD software: preliminary drawings; fully developed plans and renderings of buildings; landscapes; and installations. Images also include digitized photographs of models and installations. Content from AP198.S2.001 – OCEAN North Portfolio 1999 consists primarily of this type of visual material and is organized per project. Additionally, a few textual records describe some of the projects. There are two versions of a general presentation document in Pagemaker. Content from AP198.S2.002 – OCEAN North Press CD 2000 is organized into three sections: “about'OCEANnorth”, “OCEANnorth_Essays”, and “OCEANnorth_Projects”. This last directory is further organized by year and by project, each project having a text and an image sub-directory. Overall, there are 48 textual records describing the network, its vision and its projects, alongside more than 200 raster images. The Jyväskylä Music and Arts Centre competition entry was not included in this project selection. The following projects are documented in this series: - Töölö Football Stadium, an international architectural competition entry. See also Series 1 for more records on this project. - Jyväskylä Music and Arts Centre, an international architectural competition entry. See also Series 1 for more records on this project. - Extraterrains, a furniture design project. - Finnish Embassy in Canberra, an international architectural competition entry. - Habitare Pavilion (1996 and 1997), exhibitions installations. - Chamberworks, an architectural installation for an exhibition. - a-drift NYT Time Capsule, a competition entry for a time capsule for the New York Times. - Synthetic Landscape Pavilion and Phases 1, 2 and 3, a landscape design. - Sandefjord Hotel, preliminary design. - Landscraper, design study for an exhibition. - IntenCities, multidisciplinary installation project. - Barbican’s Valo exhibition design. - Constantini (sic) Museum, a building design for a competition. - Kyoto, a study of urban design. - Jeil’s Hospital, a building design. - Urban Surfaces exhibition.
