Project
AP164.S1.1999.D10
Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the mixed-use tower “El Mirador” in the Bay of Algeciras. The firm was invited to submit their design proposal which won second prize. The competition was organised by the Algeciras City Council. The firm identified this project as number 123. “The project attempts to express, with an architectural gesture, the beauty of the geography of Algeciras: the bay, the port, the Rock and the Straits of Gibraltar, the proximity of Ceuta and Africa, the cork-oak forests that surround the town. For this [Abalos & Herreros] propose a building that, from a single body, opens out into two towers from one great public viewing platform. This form has strategic holes giving onto the more notable topographical features, establishing a physical relationship with them, while the section is organized as a gradient of privacy that increases with height. The competition […] proposed a mixed programme in a posture parallel to the great avenue of the harbour of Algeciras. An evanescent building apparently fragile appears to let one being stimulated by the effects of the climate and the atmospheric phenomenons with an appearance changing with the function of the hours of the day or the season. Its layered section attends ascending to the different landscapes of the city: first public space, second the cities skyline and at last the 360° horizon rising above the city.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with Ángel Jaramillo, Renata Sentkiewicz, Jakob Hense. Documenting this project are conceptual, design development and presentation drawings, cartographic and graphic materials, and competition records.

DR1990:0056
Description:
- This watercolour rendering depicts a welcome arch which spans the intersection of two streets. The arch is composed of a large central groin vaulted archway and four smaller groin vaulted archways. The central archway is supported by four compound piers and is surmounted by a dome on a drum. The smaller archways which are surmounted by turrets, span the sidewalks at the street corners and are each supported by a compound pier and three columns. The structure is embellished with Gothic-inspired features such as blind tracery and pointed arches as well as shields, including two inscribed with the letter "L", flags, floral garlands, the British royal coat of arms, a sheaf of wheat and possibly lights. Staffage indicates the large scale of the arch.

Sketch site plan and sketch view of an alternative proposal for the pavilion at UNESCO Headquarters
DR1988:0425
Description:
- Le Corbusier prepared this drawing inscribed "reponse a lettre / de Gropius / recue le 22 Octobre 54" in response to Walter Gropius' suggestion that he too reply to a letter addressed only to Gropius by Eugene Callison, Chief engineer at UNESCO Headquarters, Paris. Callison had requested that Gropius comment on a proposal by the Zehrfuss-Breuer-Nervi team to add a pavilion to the existing UNESCO building. Le Corbusier was dissatisfied with the team's pavilion, which shows a narrow, glazed oblong raised on pilotis (Shapiro, fig. 219). He proposed instead this sketch for a detached pavilion consisting of a roughly-finished, curving wall enclosing a garden, which he sent to Callison, along with a critique of the Zehrfuss-Breuer-Nervi team's proposition. On 26 October 1954, he also sent copies of his proposal to all of the project advisors.
