Projet
AP178.S1.1967.PR02
Description:
This project series documents the Monumento ao poeta António Nobre in Leça de Palmeira, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 27/60; in the past the office identified the project as number 117. The office assigned the date 1967 to this project. The project consisted of a sculpture located near the Boa Nova Tea house. The monument was a collaboration between Álvaro Siza and sculptor Barata Feyo. The bronze sculpture included feminine figures and poet António Nobre. It is important to note that another monument for António Nobre was built by Siza in 1980 (see project series AP178.S1.1980.PR04 in this fonds). Documenting this project are sketches, studies, topographic surveys, plans, drawings of lettering and details. Photographs, negatives, and slides document the site, model, inauguration and sculpture. Textual documentation includes a building program, notes and correspondence with the city of Matosinhos.

Sous-série
AP207.S2.SS12
Description:
The sub-series documents the exhibition "Giardini Parchi Paesaggi. L’avventura delle idee in Toscana dall’Ottocento a oggi", curated by Pettena and presented at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, in 1998. The exhibition focuses on landscape architecture and its historical development by using the example of Tuscany from the 19th century to present day. "This set out to illustrate a historical course of development that also entailed the consideration and reevaluation [sic] of the landscape that results from human activity [...] and extended as far as an analysis and presentation of the most modern theme parks of sculpture and environmental art." [1] The sub-series contains research material, such as photocopies of articles and books on landscape architecture, and reference photographs. The sub-series also contains texts for the publication and correspondence related to the planning of the exhibition.

Projet
AP178.S1.1990.PR03
Description:
This project series documents the Urban design for Boulevard Brune, Cité de Jeunesse in Paris, France. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 5/90. The office assigned the date 1990 to this project. This project consisted of a competition entry for the fourth and last phase of a social housing program for the young postmen of Paris. The competition was organized by the Ministère des Postes et des Télécommunications. The proposal for the Boulevard Brune building included four units; a school for mailmen (Edificio A), two housing buildings (Edificio B and C), and a community center (Edificio D). The program also mentioned a parking lot. Alvaro Siza was one of the three finalists selected but was not chosen for the project. Documenting this project are sketches, studies and site plans. Textual material includes project documentation, competition documentation, and correspondence. Photographs, photomontages and negatives document the project site.

Projet
CI005.S1.1917.PR1
Description:
Oud likely drew plans for the Helder Junior Technical School as an exercise, rather than an as an entry for a building competition. The Den Helder technical school was built in 1907 and it is likely that the school did not initiate a competition for a new Junior Technical School. Oud designed a building complex with an internal courtyard, a gateway building with caretaker's lodge, and two main buildings for classes and workshops (Taverne et al. 2001, 110). The project series includes a drawing of plans and a photograph of an elevation for the Helder Junior Technical School.
