Scope and Content
This project series documents the Reitoria da Universidade de Alicante in Alicante, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 59/90. The office assigned the date 1995-1998 to this project
The rectory was located on the former military aerodrome of Rabasa. The H-shaped, two-storey building had two inner courtyards and was often compared to a fortress. The ground floor included classrooms, an auditorium, a hall, as well as spaces for the Law and Linguistics department and the office of International Relations. The second floor was used as office space. The project was realized.
Documenting this project are sketches, working drawings, structural drawings, technical drawings and mechanical drawings. Textual materials included project documentation, correspondence and catalogues. Photographic materials document the model, site, construction work and the built project.
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.
