Présentation du contenu:
This project series documents the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporânea in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 54/80. The office assigned the date 1988 for this project.

This project was commissioned by the Xunta de Galicia for the autonomous community of Galicia in Spain. The building was located near the Galego Pobo Museum and the Convento de Santo Domingo de Bonaval. The museum was approximately 75,000 square feet and divided into two L-shaped structures. The building had four floors and included exhibition halls, a terrace, a cafeteria, administrative spaces, an auditorium, and a library. The exterior was principally made of granite panels. The exhibition spaces were very bright, principally due to the natural light that came from multiple openings in the building as well as the white walls. The floors of the public spaces and exhibition rooms were made of Greek marble. Siza also transformed the Convento de Santo Domingo de Bonaval garden into a public park. The park was understood as an extension of the museum.

Documenting this project are sketches, studies, preliminary drawings, plans and working drawings. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models, project site and built project.
