Projet
AP056.S1.1995.PR02
Description:
This project series documents the Providence Healthcare Centre in Scarborough, Ontario from 1995-2000. The office identified the project number as 9504. This project, headed by Marianne McKenna in joint-venture with Montgomery and Sisam Architects, consisted of a long-term care facility on the Healthcare Centre campus located at the corner of St. Clair East and Warden Avenues. The facility diverged from the traditional institutional model to house 288 residents in a more residential setting. Bay windows, porches and chimneys were borrowed from residential architecture to contribute to this effect. The "houses," accommodating 18 residents each, were four-storeys high and arranged in two L-shaped wings with landscaped gardens in their interior courtyards. A double-height Great Hall joined the two volumes at the building's centre, which was built to house a variety of social and recreational activities for the residents. A chapel, hair salon, café and general store were also included. The project was also known as the Cardinal Ambrozic Houses of Providence. The project is recorded through drawings and presentation watercolour paintings dating from 1995-1999. The drawings are mostly originals and include a large number of sketches along with presentation renderings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details.

AP178.S2
Description:
Series AP178.S2 consists of over 280 of Siza’s personal sketchbooks, beginning from the late 1970s to the beginning of the early 2000s. The sketchbooks mostly contain sketches with some notes and are numbered chronologically. Indicated on the front cover of each sketchbook are the sketchbook number and the architectural project(s) and/or the geographic site(s) documented by the sketches and notes. The sketchbooks are mostly black notebooks and measure 21 x 30 cm, with a few exceptions. Most sketchbooks contain notes in Portuguese while some also include French and English notes. The sketchbooks document Siza’s creative process and demonstrate his unique method to comprehend an architectural project. Siza mentions that in the early stages of a project he immediately begins to draw, regardless of if he has knowledge of all the details and problems. The sketchbooks document the evolution of Siza's projects and also serve as a type of log. Not only does each sketchbook contain various sketches and notes for projects Siza was working on but also schedules, contacts, and drafts of letters. Among the sketches for projects are also general sketches of his travels, people, animals, objects, furniture, and at times landscapes. Most sketchbooks primarily contain sketches for projects with intermingled sketches of people or faces, however there are a number of sketchbooks that mostly contain sketches of people. The Siza fonds is being processed in four phases. Up to date the sketchbooks that have been processed are ones that relate to architectural projects that were processed in the first and second phase of processing. This includes projects from 1950’s, 1960’s, and 1970’s; urban planning projects; Reconstrução do Chiado; Berlin projects submitted to the IBA competition; and the Plano de urbanização Deelgebied 5 Schilderswijk-West in The Hague. However, it is important to note that the sketchbooks usually contain sketches related to multiple projects and therefore the sketchbooks that were processed also contain sketches related to projects not included in this list.

Projet
AP164.S1.2002.D11
Description:
The project series documents the public commission for a project of the hotel, clubhouse and golf course ''El Toyo'', in Almería, Spain. The promoter was Alboran Golf U.T.E. The firm identified this project as number 155. The hotel has 90 double rooms including 3 suites, storage room, and a technical space underground. The roof was designed as an ecological green space, including a running path and the club house was arranged as a pavillion. "Making use of the differences in height created by the terraces proposed for the hotels Gran Terrace with the swimming pool, the Club-House will appear as a fold in the terrain, practically a topographic accident since it will be constructed by inclined concrete slabs which generate the interior space. The roof is accessible turning itself into a viewing platform for the whole complex, a strategy which gives the club a strong landscaping character.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with José Maria Ezquiaga, Ángel Jaramillo Esteban, Elena Jaramillo Sánchez, Ángel Jaramillo Sánchez, Ramón Espinosa Garcia-Bermúdez, Leopoldo Espinosa Herraiz and OMA, Agustí Obiol y Luis Moya. The team won first prize for their project. It was not built, but was approved. Documenting the project are design development, presentation and working drawings, digital and reference materials, minutes, clippings, resumes, presentation documents, and project descriptions.
