Reference number:
AP164.S1.2005.D9
Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the planning of the Orange County Suuokita Memorial Park in California, United States. The project site was previously a military base. The firm identified this project as number 212b “The first action will be to excavate the existing E-W runways and construct in their place a great water channel. The second action will be to plant a large grid of indigenous trees over the entire site in tandem with the installation of irrigation systems. The third main gesture will be to transform the surfaces of the remaining runways into smaller gardens […] Following upon these initial gestures, [Abalos & Herreros] propose a series of vertical structures that will serve to punctuate the great horizontal expanse of the park, providing another scale to the park.” (ARCH270975) Documenting the project are presentation drawings, correspondence, reference materials, notes, project descriptions, presentation documents, publications and a dummy.

Description:
This series contains reproductions of photographs that were taken by Alexandre Alves Costa from 1974 to 1976. The photographs document the Portuguese Revolution and the beginning of the SAAL process. The material gives a sample of events that occurred at the time, such as protests and assemblies, and shows political graffiti and the living and housing conditions of families of Portuguese workers. The SAAL Process exhibition at the CCA displayed these reproductions as a timeline in one of the galleries. The arrangement of this series reflects the arrangement of the timeline. For the exhibition, photographs taken in 1974 to 1976 were selected to illustrate the events, actions and decisions that lead to the SAAL process from the beginning of the Portuguese Revolution to SAAL. Note that the reproductions of photographs documenting SAAL projects used in the exhibition are arranged under their respective project series.
