Description:
This project series documents the Piscina de Marés in Leça da Palmeira, Matosinhos, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 9/60. The office assigned the date 1961. Piscina de Marés was built between 1961 and 1966. The project included two salt water pools, one for adults and another for children, and changing rooms. A restaurant was later added in 1965. The pools were embedded in rock formations situated on the northern coastline of the Atlantic Ocean in Matosinhos. Siza used concrete to build the pools and walls while preserving some of the rock formation. There was also restoration work done for both the pools and the restaurant in the mid 1990s. The project series includes sketches, elevations, plans, and details, as well as correspondence and project documentation. Photographic materials document the project site, the built project, the model, and drawings. Also included are panoramas of the built project and aerial views of the project site. Note that photographic materials related to the 1995 renovation are also found among these materials, however the rest of the materials related to the renovations are in subseries Recuperação da Piscina de Marés (AP178.S1.1995.PR01).

Description:
This project series documents the Kolonihaven - Exposição ao ar livre in Copenhagen, Denmark. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 73/90 The office assigned the date 1996 to this project. At the end of the 19th century, there was an important migration of people from the rural areas to the cities in Denmark. Some migrants missed the contact with the soil and decided to built small houses with gardens to help them to adapt to their new urban life. These small Danish houses we're later named Kolonihavehus and became emblematic in Denmark. The exhibition Kolonihaven - The International challenge was held in Copenhagen by the Arken Museum of Modern Art. Fourteen international architects, including Álvaro Siza, Aldo Rossi, Mario Botta, Michael Graves, Arata Isozaki, and Leon Krier were invited to design a 7.5 square meter Danish house. Siza's design was based on his idea of a house as a child mixed with his memories of a trip to Scandinavia. The fourteen architects also participated in the exhibition "Major Projects" at the Køge Museum, in Køge, Danmark. The exhibition focused on the sketches and preliminary drawings of majort projects by each architect. Documenting this project are sketches and documentation.

This project series documents the Banco Borges & Irmão II in Vila do Conde, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 46/70. The office assigned the date 1978 to this project. The Banco Borges & Irmão bank was located in the historic part of Vila do Conde, near the Matriz Church. The project site was the same as for the Banco Borges & Irmão I (project series AP178.S1.1977.PR02 in this fonds). The old building was destroyed and Siza built a new bank. The documentation informs us that the design of the building was subject to several changes. This project series contains documentation for several different versions of the building. The building had two floors and a basement. The third floor was used for administrative offices, the second floor for services to the public, and the basement for safety deposits. In 1988, Siza received the Mies van der Rohe prize for this project. Drawings include sketches, studies and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, meeting minutes and correspondence. Photographic materials include photographs of the models and the built project. A study model is also included in these materials.

Description:
This project series documents the proposed design for the J. Paul Getty Museum. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 40/90. The office assigned the date 1993 to this project. The project was a collaboration between Álvaro Siza and Peter Testa. The proposal included renovations of the Villa and the Ranch House, the reorganization of the site, as well as the addition of new installations.

The main public entrance was redirected to the Los Liones Drives and a new parking area was proposed, with a 300 automobile and 6 bus capacity. In 1994, the Machado Silvetti Firm proposal was selected. Documenting this project are sketches and studies. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models and project site.

This project series documents the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporânea in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 54/80. The office assigned the date 1988 for this project. This project was commissioned by the Xunta de Galicia for the autonomous community of Galicia in Spain. The building was located near the Galego Pobo Museum and the Convento de Santo Domingo de Bonaval. The museum was approximately 75,000 square feet and divided into two L-shaped structures. The building had four floors and included exhibition halls, a terrace, a cafeteria, administrative spaces, an auditorium, and a library. The exterior was principally made of granite panels. The exhibition spaces were very bright, principally due to the natural light that came from multiple openings in the building as well as the white walls. The floors of the public spaces and exhibition rooms were made of Greek marble. Siza also transformed the Convento de Santo Domingo de Bonaval garden into a public park. The park was understood as an extension of the museum. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, preliminary drawings, plans and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models, project site and built project.
