Description:
This project series documents the Instalação na Exposição "Entrez Lentement" per il Salone del Mobile in Milan. While the records were held in the office’s archives this installation was assigned the label "outro" in place of the usual project number, to designate that it was work done for an exhibition. The office assigned the date 2005 for this installation. This project consisted of an exhibition installation at the 2005 edition of the famed Salone del Mobile Milano (Milan Furniture Fair). The Salone del Mobile exhibition, entitled "Entrez Lentement," invited eight architects to build installations related to famous architectural projects. Siza's work spoke to Oscar Neimeyer's personal home, Casa das Canoas in Rio de Janeiro. He designed two organic white forms and a curved yellow chaise lounge that related to the curved forms present in the original home. Documenting this project are sketches, a plan, and the exhibition space layout of the Salone. These materials date from 2004.

This project subseries documents the Casa Pátio building attached to the Edifício Zaida in Granada, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 98/90 C. The office assigned the dates 1998-2006 to this project subseries. This was phase 2 of the larger project to redevelop three parcels of land that faced the Plaza Puerta Real. This part of the larger Zaida building, an old courtyard house, was located between the Zaida building and neighbouring buildings. The exterior was reimagined in the style of the new Zaida building, but it was visually separated through its unique window arrangement. Documenting this project subseries are drawings, textual records and photographic materials dating from 2003-2005. The textual records include correspondence and documentation on the design of furniture, accessories, artwork and the mechanical and techinical aspects of the buildings. The drawings include structural, mechanical and technical drawings, as well as details. The photographic materials show the building's construction and the built project.

Along with his firm, John C. Parkin began the design and construction of the Etobicoke General Hospital in 1966. Following this date, he completed numerous additional projects for the site. This project documents a second round of alterations and renovations done to the hospital after its initial construction. The first round of alterations commenced in 1975 under a different project number (see project series AP018.S1.1975.PR11). A large part of the alterations were proposed to improve traffic flow in the emergency department. Renovations were proposed to unassigned areas of the hospital in order to centralize clerical functions and increase the waiting room size. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1977. The drawings consist of floor plans while textual records include the project programme report, conference reports and an area utilization study.

This project series documents the IBM headquarters building in North York, Ontario from 1965-1967. The office identified the project number as 6511. This project consisted of a U-shaped building located at the top of a ravine at 1150 Eglington Avenue East, on the same property as the IBM plant. The building was brick clad with bronze-tinted windows to reduce heat and glare from the sun. Planning also began for an extension of the headquarters at this time. The headquarters was a mixed-level building with four-storeys at its tallest. The building was included on Toronto's heritage registry in 2006, but a proposal to redevelop the site was submitted for consideration in 2018. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1968, which consist of a set of as built plans, sections, elevations, details and layouts. Also included in the project series is a mounted presentation photograph of the finished building exterior.
