Scope and Content
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.
Materials in this project series were compiled from multiple accessions. Materials within each accession were arranged by Álvaro Siza’s office and have been kept in this order.
