Description:
These eight presentation boards (1967-1977 ?) are collages composed of reduced copies of previously published material, such as periodical clippings and photomechanical prints, interspersed with titles and text describing relevant work. The two projects represented are Fun Palace (AP144.S2.D46) and O.C.H. Feasibility Study (Oxford Corner House, AP144.S2.D59). Price apparently chose these two projects as a comparative study for concepts which he was developing at the time. Further research is required to establish the theme(s) of the German Exhibition and how this comparative study by Price fits into the exhibition.

Quarry (1971)
AP207.S1.1971.PR03
Description:
The project series documents Pettena's project "Quarry". It consists of a series of three drawings showing a quarry wall painted in pink washed away by a rain storm, consequently creating and leading to the formation of a small lake of pink water at the bottom of the quarry. A camera, placed on the opposite side of the quarry, films the whole process. "The drawing traces an intervention in three successive phases in a context modified by the work of human beings and then reconquered by nature [...]." [1] The project series contains drawings of the three successive phases, one showing the painted wall, the second showing the rain storm, and the last one showing the lake formed at the bottom of the quarry with the pink stained water. It also includes project descriptions in English and in Italian. Source: [1] Gianni Pettena website, https://www.giannipettena.it/italiano/opere-1/nat-quarry-1971-1/ (last accessed 11 November 2019)

Tumbleweeds Catcher (1972)
AP207.S1.1972.PR03
Description:
The project series documents "Tumbleweeds Catcher", an installation by Pettena and a group of his students from the University of Utah, in Salt Lake City, in 1972. The installation consisted of a tower-scaffold built on a vacant lot near the city centre and covered with mesh so it could capture the tumbleweeds blown by the wind. Through this installation Pettena's intention was to "highlight the 'work of the land', the tumbleweeds moved by the wind and intercepted by the mesh of the tower, 'naturalize' it, contaminate it, thereby embodying the revenge of nature over urbanized space." [1] A second edition was later presented at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in Salt Lake City in 2013. The project series contains photographs of the installation in 1972 and 2013, and drawings and sketches of the tower. Source: [1] Marco Scotini, editor.

AP178.S1.1993.PR05
Description:
This project series documents the Laboratório Showroom Habitação Dimensione Fuoco in San Donà di Piave, Italy. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 39/90. The office assigned the date 1993 to this project. The firm Dimensione Fuoco Vetroveneto commissioned Siza to design the extension of a building. The design proposed by Siza was a 3000 square metre triangular building, connecting with the existing structure with a courtyard and a boundary wall. It was intended that the cultural organization Circolo Architteture would occupy the space. The program included spaces for architectural conferences and exhibitions, a library and archives. Siza was also supposed to design a sculpture in the park near the building. It is not clear if the project was realized. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, design development drawings and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models, project site and construction work.

AP178.S1.1983.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Reconstrução da Igreja Madre de Salemi, the Piazza Alicia and the Recuperação do Plano Cascio in Salemi, Italy. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number [7]/80. The office assigned the dates 1983-1999 for this project. The reconstruction of the mother Church of Salemi, the construction of the Piazza Alicia, and the rehabilitation of Plano Cascio was part of an urban renewal for Salemi. In 1968, an earthquake destroyed the Igreja Madre de Salemi and damaged the area. The church was never rebuilt. In 1982, Roberto Collovà and Siza we're chosen by the Curia of Mazara del Vallo for the reconstruction of the church. Instead of rebuilding it, the architects decided to use the ruins to create something new that would represent the spirit of the church and the memory of the earthquake. Documenting this project are plans, project documentation, and correspondence. Photographic materials document construction work and the model.
