Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of three residual water treatment plants in Madrid, Spain from 1986 to 1988. Each plant was built in a different municipality of the city: the first plant, referred to as El Endrinal, was built in Collado-Villalba; the second plant in Majadahonda; and the third, referred to as El Chaparral, in Guadarrama. These plants are key elements in the passage between sewage and the river. They were executed for the water management company Canal de Isabel II Gestión, responsible for the water cycle for the Community of Madrid. The firm identified this project as number 40. Documenting the project are design development and working drawings, textual records, and photographic materials. The Majadahonda and Guadarrama plants were built at the same time.

Description:
This project series documents Poli's contribution to the competition entry for the restoration of a 16th century fort in Florence, the Fortezza da Bassa and its transformation into a National Centre for Arts and Crafts. This competition design was a Superstudio project led by Adolfo Natalini, reflecting the group's interest at the time in architecture on a "monumental' scale" (Lang and Menking, 2003, 100). Project material consists of study sketches in coloured pencil and graphite, many with annotations, and a page of typed notes, also with smaller sketches. Poli's sketches and notes seem to focus on designs for the entrance to the fort -- "ingresso alla Fortezza" -- and the movement of spectators into the fort. The typed notes and some sketches suggest the idea of a pinball machine with flippers and multi coloured lights lighting up a path.
