Design for a triumphal arch
DR1990:0046
Description:
Triumphal arch flanked by two pairs of fluted Doric columns that have capitals ornamented with grotesques. The arch leads to a coffered barrel vault and grotesques covering both sides of the interior walls. The entablature is also Doric, with metopes featuring bovine skulls and alternating circular ornaments. In the attic story is a quadrilateral cartouche with a Latin inscription that reads “MVLTA RENAS CENTVR QVE NVNCCECIDERE.” On either side of the cartouche are arabesques with anthropomorphic feet and vases/urns that are also decorated with grotesque ornamentation. Above is a series of three scalloped niches. The central niche uses a highly ornamental Corinthian order below a triangular pediment.

Design for a triumphal arch
DR1990:0045
Description:
This print shows a heavily ornamented triumphal arch leading to vaulted corridor. Pairs of columns on either side of the portal have Corinthian capitals and fluted shafts sit atop non-canonical urn-like bases. The corridor that recedes into the distance has quadripartite vaults. The entablature features two male profile portrait rondels surrounded by laurel leaves. The frieze includes putti, arabesques, and grotesques.

Description:
- This print shows a view of the palace, or casino, of the Villa Albani overlooking the terraces, fountains and parterres of the garden. The classical garden façade of the casino is two storied and comprised of nine bays. The first story has an open loggia articulated by a double Order in the manner of Michelangelo's Palazzo dei Conservatori. On the roof sits a rectangular open-air belvedere with a small pavilion in each of its four corners. To either side of the casino stretch one-storied wings, or galleries, each terminating in a classizing temple front turned to face one another across the garden façade of the casino. Various pieces of antique sculpture are located at different points throughout the garden.

The project was for the completion of the interior, water system and electrical circuits of a three-storey supermarket. The first floor consisted of storage space and annexes, the second floor for the store, and the third floor for administrative activities. Documenting this project are sketches, studies and working drawings. Textual material includes project documentation and correspondence. Photographs and negatives document the project site and model.

Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for the Holt Renfrew flagship store on Bloor Street in Toronto in 1997. The office identified the project number as 69705. This project consisted of a proposal for the exterior facades and rooftop terrace for the high-end department store. The proposal focused greatly on movement that would naturally attract passing pedestrians and drivers to the store's entrances and window merchandizing. The main entrance would be comprised of glass doors with custom bronze pulls, sheltered by a steel and glass canopy and sandwiched between limestone surfaces. Above the main doors would be a two-storey window display and surfaces that could be manipulated to display brand logos and other graphics. This also allowed natural light to shine into the main atrium of the store's interior. Windows at street level, used for visual marketing, would be punched into limestone facades and accentuated with canvas awnings, creating an intimate customer experience. The new rooftop terrace would be created through an addition to the fourth floor, setback from the other levels, and sheltered by a projecting roof. The terrace would be lined in a continuous rim of evergreen hedges. Addition entrances, new lighting fixtures, and interior window displays were also proposed in this project. The project is recorded through drawings, watercolour paintings and textual records dating from 1997. The drawings consist of sketch elevations and perspectives, while the paintings were used for presentation purposes. The textual records consist of the project proposal with associated digital renderings.

The office assigned the dates 1991-1992 to this project. The Cinema Condes was built between 1949 and 1951. At the beginning of the 1990s, the owners of the building wanted to add offices and stores while maintaining the cinema. The renovations to the cinema were part of an urban rehabilitation project for the Avenida da Liberdade. Siza did a preliminary study for these renovations. The project was not realized. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation. Photographic materials document the existing building, models and project site.

Description:
This project series documents the restoration of the Grandes Armazéns do Chiado building in Lisbon, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 58/80 N4. The office assigned the dates 1988-1998 for this project. The Grandes Armazéns do Chiado was part of Bloco C and identified as building 4 in Siza's reconstruction plan. The site of the Grandes Armazéns served several different functions in its history, including a hotel, a palace, and a convent, before becoming a department store in 1894. In the 1920s, a hotel was created at the top floors. After the destructive fire of 1988, the new owners of the building were interested in using the totality of the building for a shopping mall and restaurants. On the other hand, Siza's proposal included the expansion of the hotel in the building to introduce more public activity in the area after the regular work and shopping hours. Several programs were proposed to the owners of the building, and it was decided in 1996 that the hotel space would be reduced to the two top floors to have more room for the shopping center. The new division included 41 hotel rooms and 41 stores. The interior of the shopping mall was designed by Eduardo Souto Moura. Drawings include studies, working drawings, mechanical drawings, and structural drawings. Textual material includes project documentation, studies, meeting reports, and correspondence. Photographic material includes photographs of the building before the fire, ruins, model, and construction work. Documentation for this project can also be found in subseries AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS1 and AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS7 of this project series.
