2 Rector Office at Vigo University Campus Rúa do Porto Vigo The façades of this project are composed of concrete whose texture echoes the decomposition of the Mondariz granite hung from the metal profile and oak carpentries in a T-form, with the uppermost part of the granite rising over the profile of the roof The play of concrete and oak continues into the interior, where the geometry of the stairs connects the levels and spaces which are flooded with light from above The building's program includes the chancellor's and vice-chancellor's offices, the press office, the general secretary and other administrative personnel, and meeting rooms arranged in a radial form Some spaces open to others and all frame views through the structure Natural light penetrates everything The main hall is a ramped auditorium that is projected over the larger spaces between the tripartite structure in a T-form, whose top wall is in the opposite direction of the stairs and creates an impressive form on the lateral façade (text from architect's website) University of Vigo 2

4 Maritime Museum of Galicia Avenida Atlántida Vigo The museum serves as a transition between the earth and the sea, and is formed in this paradigmatic place on the coastal edge In addition to being public space in the heat of constructed nature, the museum invites the visitor to approach the sea and it teaches us how to enjoy it and how to love it Also, it remembers us that it is possible to construct its borders without destroying them A lucky encounter between a logical architecture, beautiful arts and a happy nature The composition, the spaces, the materials, the relation between the context, everything reaffirms the architecture as the geometric place of man, like a sacred space of its relation with the world 2002 Main designer, César Portela Aldo Rossi Xunta de Galicia Summer Hours / June 1 to September 30: Tuesday - Thursday: & Friday & Saturday: & Sunday: Winter hours / October 1 to May 31: Tuesday - Thursday: & Friday & Saturday: Sunday:
