AP178.S1.2000.PR10
Description:
This project series document the Biblioteca da Câmara Municipal de Viana do Castelo in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 11/00. The office assigned the dates 2000-2008 to this project. The project site is located between the Alameda 5 de Outubro and the Lima river. The library was part of the waterfront development plan, directed by Fernando Távora. The development plan included a multiuse pavilion designed by Eduardo Souto de Moura, two office buildings, and an auditorium designed by Tàvora. The architects, with the help of José Bernardo Tavora and Adalberto Dias chose together location. The orthogonal two-story library respects the recommendations of the Portuguese Institute of Book and Libraries (IPLB). This project was realized and won the National Contemporary Architecture Award. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, plans, working drawings, technical drawings, and details. Textual material includes correspondence and project documentation. Photographic material documents construction work and models.

Description:
This file documents the 2000-2002 expansion of the Palais des Congrès de Montréal. In the late 1990s the Québec government agreed to invest $240 million to finance the expansion of the existing Palais des Congrès de Montréal, designed by Victor Prus and opened in 1983. A competition was held in 1999, and an architectural consortium led by Mario Saia was awarded the commission to design the expansion. Hal Ingberg worked as an independent architectural consultant on the project, notably contributing the design of the building's new transparent multicouloured glass-paneled façade. Construction took place from 2000-2002 and the new facility was opened in December 2002.
