Building of the Santiago de Compostela university - Spain modern contemporary architecture information

Contemporary architects like Bar Boo, Albalat or Baltar, introduced a new mentality to the younger generations, where Cesar Portela, Manuel Gallego or lago Seara belonged. They are characterized by rationalization and re-creation of traditional theories, seeking functionality and sculptural aesthetics in their buildings within the minimalism of our time. This process does not stop with plastic creation - the sculpture of Asorey, the surrealist painting of the Atlantic by Urbano Lugris; Laxeiro painted the "Trasmundo ", a work with spirit, as Colmeiro or Torres were inspired by the suggestive world of folk traditions. All creative process is inter-related at present in Galicia - the architecture and literature have come to a surprising moment. The existence of works by architects like Siza (responsible for the CGAC and the new Journalism Faculty, both buildings in Santiago de Compostela), Isozaki, Foster, and sculptors like Chillida and Ibarrola, are proof of this enthusiasm open to all innovation.
