Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the development of the International fair of the South, in the municipality of Getafe, Spain. The firm identified this project as number 159a. “The project puts the emphasis on two esencial [sic] questions: on the one hand a system which allows to resolve the fair’s pavillons simple and elegantly joining criteria of light, structure and water in a system of constructive rationality and average economy. On the other han[d a]n organization of the public and constructed space in phases which allow to understand the technology area of the south as something complete and shaped since the first of them has been developed. The proposed exhibition pavillions [sic] come from a technical reasoning based in the balance of structural width, central light and drainage of the roof, a result of several projects of similar scale which the office has developed in the last years.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros initially grouped this project with the competition Fira 2000 - Barcelona (AP164.S1.2002.D14). Documenting the project are presentation drawings, project descriptions, correspondence, studies, competition documents and specifications.

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:
File documents proposals for an international exhibition on the theme of innovations in agriculture and food production. Peter Kuttner was the exhibition organizer and the full extent of Cedric Price’s involvement in the project is unclear, although his office produced a model, drawings, and exhibition and display design ideas. Plans show exhibition, cinema, and lecture areas, as well as, book stalls and a restaurant. Plans also show thematic areas: 'Farms for Food', 'Methods of Production and Storage', and the 'Nature of Food', as well as circulation patterns. An initial proposal titled 'Food for the Future' was submitted to the Greater London Council for the Hayward Gallery, in London, but was rejected. A subsequent submission with the title 'Food First' was made to the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York. Material in this file was created between 1971 and 1978 but predominantly between 1971 and 1975. Peter Kuttner is attributed as the organizer of the exhibition which was originally titled: 'Food of the future exhibition'. File contains conceptual drawings, model, and textual records.
