Présentation du contenu:
This project subseries documents the Parque de Vidago Complexo Termal e Hotel Palace in Vidago, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 49/00. The office assigned the date 2002 to this project.

The project consisted of major renovations to update and modernize the Vidago Palace Hotel, originally opened in 1910, and the addition of a new thermal spa. Architects José Pedro Lopes Vieira and Diogo Rosa Lã were responsible for the interior decoration of the Palace Hotel, while Siza designed the Spa. The full or partial demolition of some parts of the hotel and nearby buildings was necessary to maintain the original character of the resort. In contrast to the historic hotel, the new spa was contemporary and minimalist with marble interiors. It included pools, Turkish baths, treatment and relaxation rooms, a gym, bars and meditation area.

This project subseries is documented through drawings, photographic materials, study models and textual records dating from 2002-2012. These materials primarily document the spa but documentation for the surrounding site, Palace Hotel, Fonte Salus (spring), gatehouse and Serralves exhibition space is also included. The drawings are largely reprographic copies of printed CAD drawings and include sketches, studies, plans, details, sections, elevations, demolition drawings and mechanical, electrical and structural drawings. The textual records include correspondence, meeting minutes, studies, building programs, furniture and spa equipment documentation, budgets and contracts. A large amount of documentation on various electrical, structural and mechanical systems is also included. The photographic materials are mostly printed digital photos showing buildings across the site, pre and post construction work and reference images. There are also a number of photos, postcards and brochures showing historical images of the hotel.
