Project
AP178.S1.1991.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the Vitra International project in Weil am Rhein, Germany. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 18/90. The office assigned the dates 1991-1994 to this project. The building included a factory, offices, and loading docks. The brick was chosen as a reference to the production hall that burned down in 1981 on the project site. The curved bridge roof that connected Siza's building to Nicholas Grimshaw's building was conceived to not obstruct the view of Zaha Hadid's Fire Station. Siza also designed a 500 metre promenade that passed by the Vitra building and connected the Fire Station to the VitraHaus designed by Herzog & de Meuron. The project was realized. Documenting this project are sketches, studies, design development drawings, plans and details. Textual material includes project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the project site, models, construction work and the built project. There is also a study model for this project.

Sub-series
AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS8
Description:
This project series documents the restoration of the Grandella building in Lisbon, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 58/80 N5. The office assigned the date 1988-1998 for this project. The destructive fire of 1988 started in The Grandella building. It was part of Bloco C and identified as building 5 in Siza's reconstruction plan. It was originally designed by French architect George Demaye and built by Francisco de Almeida Grandella in 1907. Siza's program included the introduction of new functions, including cultural, administrative, and retail activities. Due to the historic importance of the building in Lisbon, a particular effort was made to restore the original façade. Drawings include studies, working drawings, mechanical drawings and structural drawings. Textual materials include project documentation, studies, meeting reports and correspondence. Photographic material includes photographs of the building before the fire, ruins, and construction work. There is also a study model for this project. Documentation can also be found in subseries Master plans and exterior spaces (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS1) and Bloco C (AP178.S1.1988.PR07.SS7).
