Description:
This project series documents the Casa Manuel Magalhães in Porto, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 29/60; in the past the office identified the project as number 119. The office assigned the dates 1967-1971 for this project. The project consisted of a concrete house located on Avenida dos Combatentes in Porto. There was no direct opening to the street and the building was surrounded by a cement wall. Client Manuel Magalhães commissioned the house as a rental home, but became personally involved during the construction and decided to move in with his family. In 2001, Siza designed an intercom for the house. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, plans, elevations, and details. Photographs, negatives, and slides document the site and building work. Textual documentation includes correspondence with the city of Porto, Manuel Magalhães and Fernando Teixeira Rodrigues.

Description:
The project series documents Pettena's research and study for the restoration and conversion of the Tonnara dell’Enfola, the promontory of the Enfola in Portoferraio, Italy. The project, on which Pettena worked from 1995 to 2000, was commissioned by the Parco Nazionale of the Arcipelago Toscano. The project included the restoration and conversion of the 18th century former tuna factory building into a museum and a theme park. The project was not realized as the general plan for the project is yet to be defined. The project series contains a complete set of plans for Pettena's proposal, including site plans, elevations, sections and floor plans, and a report on the project. The project series also includes contracts, cost estimates, project descriptions, handwritten notes (possibly by Pettena), correspondence and a list of work for the project. It also contains research material such as reference photographs and a set of reference plans for the building.

Description:
The city of Rotterdam in May 1922 commissioned a project to re-house homeless slum-dwellers and to alleviate Rotterdam's crisis in housing shortage: the housing unit was known as The Witte Dorp housing community, in the polder of Oud-Mathenesse. Oud designed the site plan and dwellings for this municipal housing project of 343 dwellings, eight shop units and a fire-engine shed. Oud created a geometric street plan with short axes that joined at the playground and townscape with identical facades of row houses facing one another. The houses were white with contrasting red roofs, blue front doors and yellow door frames and window casings (Taverne et al. 2001, 250). Project series includes drawings of plans and eighteen photographs, including exterior views and photographs of a plan.

Description:
The Rotterdam building inspectorate, Bouwpolite & Woningdienst, rejected the original plans for the design of the Café de Unie by a private developer, and instead commissioned Oud, as municipal architect, to design the building on Calandplein. This design marked a departure for Oud from public and private buildings to the design of a commercial building. Oud's design incorporated advertisement from its conception as he designed a facade of boards, cement, and glass with an illuminated sign – this was in keeping with the contemporary aesthetic of De Stijl, which explored creative uses of advertisement. Oud designed the signs to be turned inward, to draw attention away from the surrounding buildings, and incorporated bright colours (Taverne et al. 2001, 342). Project series includes drawings of plans as well as photographs of exterior views and of the principal facade of the Café de Unie.

Description:
The village of Hoek van Holland – which had been annexed to Rotterdam in 1914 – successfully appealed to the city council in 1923 to develop public housing to address the city's shortage of affordable housing. Oud was commissioned to sketch 40 dwellings for working class residents. The original plan consisted of three separate rows of housing, which were later amended to two two-storey rows of housing. City council sent back the plans with a request to change the facade, but in 1925 accepted the original design before construction began in 1927. The design comprehended 41 dwellings, a library, four warehouses and four shop fronts with unique curved facades (Taverne et al. 2001, 260-265). Project series includes photographs of facades and exteriors of housing as well as plans.

Description:
Because of the shortage of social housing for low income families in Rotterdam, the city commissioned the Kiefhoek housing scheme and invited Oud to assist with designing the dwellings. The plans underwent several revisions: it was reduced from the planned construction of 300 buildings in 1925, to 291 dwellings in 1928. The revised complex consisted of two units of shops and dwellings and one dwelling with a hotwater boiler, as well as two warehouses. Oud revised the plans to accommodate 300 dwellings on the chosen site, incorporating existing features, such as the church and public garden, into the site. The site features two symmetric and curved shops facing the central estate street (Taverne et al. 2001, 274-277). Project series includes drawings of plans for site and units as well as photographs of exterior and interior views of Kiefhoek Workers' housing.
