Miragaia, Porto
CD034.S1.1975.PR01
Description:
This project series contains reproductions of drawings and panels displayed in the exhibit to document the neighbourhood Miragaia, in Porto Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: ... although the Miragaia project was never built, its seminal and programmatic character contributed significantly to the development of the SAAL Process. The project architect Fernando Távora first worked on the Barredo Neighbourhood ― a very poor area in the Porto's historic centre ― as an architect and teacher at the city's School of Fine Arts, and the Miragaia project built on this research, demonstrating a knowledge of and sensitivity to both the physical terrain and the social landscape of Porto, presenting a nuanced view of life in an urban space. Despite the strengths of the plan, the city council's policy on Porto's historic centre subsequently did not include Távora's project for Miragaia. Nonetheless, in the seriousness of its design and the depth of knowledge that it displayed, the project was a significant attempt to recover and rationalize Miragaia's vacant riverside zone. The highly developed nature of the proposal, its level of surgical precision, and Fernando Távora's thoughtful notes reveal a great deal about SAAL, its structure, its relationship with residents, and the overall model for urban intervention. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Fernando Távora worked for SAAL/North with Antónia Nolo, Bernardo Ferrão, Gil Carneiro, Joaquim Jordão, Jorge Barros, Manuel Campos, Pedro Paredes and the residents' association Miragaia, that was founded on March 30th, 1976. The project was for 900 dwellings, but none were built. The operation began in June 1975. This project series contains reproductions of design development drawings, presentation panels, site plans and a study of a logo. The original drawings and panels were produced from 1975 to 1977 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.

Projet
CI005.S1.1931.PR2
Description:
In 1929, the north Rotterdam neighbourhood of Blijodorp became the site of a municipal housing plan. Previous plans had been formulated in the early 1920s by architects Kromhout and Heijkoop but foundered due to lack of funding. Oud was brought into the project in the early 1930s and combined a perimeter block with row housing in his design of 306 dwellings for workers and eighteen buildings for seniors. The nine housing blocks faced the gardens and feature a living room, kitchen and three bedrooms with storage space situated below the elevated living level. His plans were not realized because the national government withdrew its investment in the housing market (Taverne et al. 2001, 304-310). Project series includes drawings of plans for Blijdorp Municipal Housing and a photograph of a perspective drawing.

Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the McLean Park Rental Housing Project, a low-income housing development spread across four city blocks in the Strathcona neighbourhood, Vancouver. Oberlander worked on this project in the early 1960s. The architectural firm in charge of the project was Underwood McKinley Cameron. The housing development "was comprised of a nine-storey apartment building with one-bedroom apartments and studios, and a series of three- and four-storey maisonettes." [1] As landscape architect, Oberlander worked on the site planning, grading and drainage, as well as the planting plan. She also designed recreational spaces for adults and children. The project series contains five photographs of the project, specifications, a plant list and a reprographic copy of a working drawing. Source: [1] Herrington, Susan.

Quinta da Bela Flor, Lisboa
CD034.S1.1976.PR01
Description:
This project series contains one reproduction of a photograph displayed in the exhibit to document the Quinta da Bela Flor neighbourhood, in Lisbon, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: Artur Rosa's project in the neighbourhood grew out of a shanty town, built on a difficult site, dating back to the 19th century, with reports of families living in hillside caves that today flank the entrance to a nearby highway. The process was based on voluntary work, and its ending presented a huge disappointment to the local brigade. In 1976 and 1977, Artur Rosa, also a practicing artist, produced three works that reflected on SAAL, its failure and the subsequent sense of persecution felt by many brigade leaders. The decision not to present the project but rather the artistic interventions aims at revealing the performative nature of the process, its poetic intensity and the way it related to its protagonists. In 1977 the architect presented a performance at the Fine Arts Society in Lisbon in which he closed the documentation of the project in a darkened room. The following year, he presented a structure with the documentation closed inside, and finally he used the project drawings in a collage with photographs on the occasion of the first public tap in Quinta da Bela-Flor. Those poetic artistic interventions are his form of publicly mourning the end of the SAAL process. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) Artur Rosa worked for SAAL/Lisbon and Central South with Etelvina José, Hélio Oliveira, José Luís Teles Rebolo, José Miguel Fonseca, Luís Pereira, Manuel Coutinho Raposo, Maria Fernanda Carvalho, Maria Isabel Rodrigues Lobo, Nuno Blanco Bártolo, Nuno Martins and the residents' association Cooperativa de Habitação Económica Bela Flor, that was founded on February 13th, 1976. The project included 288 dwellings. The operation began in September 1976, with a construction date in December 1976. This project series contains a reproduction of a photograph of a model. The original photograph was produced around 1976 and was reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.

AP018.S1.1972.PR03
Description:
This project series documents a study for the Ontario Housing Corporation in Ontario, Canada in 1972. The office identified the project number as 7302. This project consisted of a study into prefabricated townhouses, which were to be combined in a row to make up neighbourhoods. A construction system was devised and included all the components of a house such as floor coverings, foundation walls, furnishings, stairs and roofs. The homes ranged in size, but all were three storeys with a private garden and garage. The project is recorded through original drawings dating from around 1972, including plans, elevations, sections and perspectives.
