Description:
This project series documents the Estaçäo de Metropolitano Baixa Chiado in Lisbon, Portugal. The office assigned the dates 1992-1998 for this project. The Estaçäo de Metropolitano Baixa Chiado was built between 1992 and 1998. The station played a key role in Siza's functional reconstruction plan of the Chiado area. It was an essential part of Siza's recovery plan for the district of Chiado in order to create more access to different parts of town due to the irregular elevations of the district. The station's escalators were created to give access to the Rua do Crucifixo and Largo do Chiado square. Elevators were also built to give access to Rua Ivens. Drawings include sketches, studies, working drawings, shop drawings and mechanical drawings. Textual documentation includes specifications, correspondence, permit and supplier documentation, and meeting reports. Photographic materials document the model, site and construction work. The materials that were donated in the 2019 accession document the elevators built to give access to Rua Ivens. Additional documentation for this project can also be found in the project subseries AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS1.

Description:
This project series documents the Casa Van Middelem-Dupont in Oudenbourg, Belgium. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 61/90. The office assigned the date 1994 to this project. The project files document the repurposing of a 200 year old farmhouse and stables, as well as the addition of new buildings. Siza collaborated with Roberto Cremascoli, Andrea Smaniotto, Ueli Krauss, Daniela Antonucci, and Maurice Custer on the project. The project is divided into a residential unit, a guest house, and an art gallery. The original farmhouse was transformed into an art gallery and the new buildings serve as housing. The housing units located on agricultural land form a U shape around the courtyard. The forms and materials of the new units were selected in order to respect Flemish architectural typologies. The buildings were designed in 1994 and completed in 2001. Documenting this project are studies, design development drawings, working drawings, structural drawings, and technical drawings. Textual material includes project documentation. Photographic material documents the models, construction work, and the built project.
