Study of human settlements
AP149.S1.1986.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Minimum Cost Housing Group's human settlement study in developping countries, mainly in India and in China, in the 1970s and 1980s. The project led to three publications series "How the Other Half Builds" (Volume 1: Space, Volume 2: Plots and Volume 3: The Self-Selection Process). A series of audio-visual training packages entitled "Human Settlements Training Packages" was also produced in relation with this study. They produced a total of six series comprised of slides and audio cassettes that provide new ideas for planning low-income housing and low-cost technologies. The production of these training packages is based on years of field work in China and in India, and research in collobaration with the Vastu-Shilpa Foundation in Ahmedabad, India. The material in this project series was produced between 1985 and 1993. The files contain a large collection of slides of the training packages, guides for the slide show presentations, and various textual records related to the production of the training packages. The project series also comprises correspondence with the Vastu-Shilpa Foundation and sketchbooks with study drawings of housing mainly in India, possibly by Vikram Bhatt. The file also includes textual records related to the production of the publications series "How the Other Half Builds", as well as dummies for the publications and the final version of the books.

Projet
AP178.S1.1958.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Casa de Chá, Restaurante da Boa Nova in Leça de Palmeira, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 9/50. In the past the office identified the project as number 99. The office assigned the dates 1958-1963 for this project. The coastal site for this project was selected by Portuguese architect Fernando Távora. The project was built after the proposal won an architecture competition held by the municipality of Matosinhos in 1958. Távora initiated the project in collaboration with Francisco Figueiredo, and later handed the project over to Siza. In an interview with Eduardo Souto Moura, Moura recounts that Távora gave the project to Siza and five other aids before leaving on vacation (Juan Rodrigues, Carlos Seoane, et al, “Siza by Siza”). In the 1970s, Siza designed the furniture for this project and also worked on the 1990s restoration and renovation work. The project series consists of sketches, studies, plans, elevations, and details for the Casa de Chá, Restaurante da Boa Nova as well as sketches of the furniture designed by Siza. Photographs, negatives, and slides document the exterior and interior of the built project, as well as the project site. There are also postcards of the built project and photographs taken by photographers Rui Morais de Sousa, Juan Rodriguez, Alvão (Azevedo & Fernandes), Stitchting Wonen, and Charters. Textual documentation includes correspondence from the Câmara Municipal de Matosinhos, including correspondence addressed to Távora, as well as correspondence from Távora and Siza. Also included are notes and project documentation.
