Présentation du contenu:
This project series document the Largo da Lada the historic district in Porto, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 35/70. The office assigned the date 1976 for this project.

The Comissariado para a Renovação Urbana da Área de Ribeira/Barredo was an organization responsible for the rehabilitation of the historic district in Porto. The aim of the project was to improve the living conditions of the residents. Alvaro Siza was selected to find architectural solutions for the Mercado da Ribeira (see project series AP178.S1.1976.PR01 in this fonds), Parcelas 191 e 192 (see project series AP178.S1.1976.PR02 in this fonds), and Largo da Lada. The goal for this project was to reorganize the Lada square and Barredo Quarter. The program included a study to create communal facilities and space for dwellings. Although this project, and the proposal for the Mercado da Ribeira were not realized, the houses on Parcelas 191 and 192 were.

This project is recorded through sketches, studies and plans. Photographs, negatives, postcards and slides depict the project site and surrounding area. Textual documentation includes correspondence.
