Description:
This project series documents the restoration of the Grandella building in Lisbon, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 58/80 N5. The office assigned the date 1988-1998 for this project. The destructive fire of 1988 started in The Grandella building. It was part of Bloco C and identified as building 5 in Siza's reconstruction plan. It was originally designed by French architect George Demaye and built by Francisco de Almeida Grandella in 1907. Siza's program included the introduction of new functions, including cultural, administrative, and retail activities. Due to the historic importance of the building in Lisbon, a particular effort was made to restore the original façade. Drawings include studies, working drawings, mechanical drawings and structural drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, studies, meeting reports and correspondence. Photographic material includes photographs of the building before the fire, ruins, and construction work. There is also a study model for this project. Documentation can also be found in subseries Master plans and exterior spaces (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS1) and Bloco C (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS7).

Description:
This project series documents an extension of the residence of Mr. KK Katyal in New Delhi around 1973. The project consisted of an extension to the back of the home, in between the existing home and garages, to create a duplex. This addition was three-storeys, with the top floor consisting of two stair enclosures, known as mumty, and a terrace that connected to the existing house. The project is recorded through drawings of plans, elevations, sections, details and astrology drawings of constellations. Reprographic copies of drawings were produced in 2000, although most of the drawings are originals, likely from around 1973. Although the purpose of the astrology drawings is not obvious, they were clipped together with materials for this project.
