Sports pavilion and indoor swimming pool in Boiro

We want to intervene with lightness, to underline the lines of force of the place, the lines of the landscape... HORIZONTALITY. On the "line", the accents. The geometry of man which, through its relationships and distances, generates a new interpretation of the place.

Manuel G. Vicente

HARMONY between the new materials of man and nature, ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENT... past and future abstract expression that uses geometry as a balancing element, construction as a method of rigour and efficiency, and materials as a quality of matter. Sharp, taut volumes, from enclosures with different reflective properties, glass and steel...

TRANSPARENCY AND OPACITY. A space of brightness and shades arranged over the landscape, varying with the different lights of the day and of the year... From the intense brightness with the planes manifesting their sharp edges in the cut against the sky, to the veils produced on cloudy days, when the edges dematerialise to merge the architecture with the density of the sky. Between inside and outside a fluid and controlled permeability, transparency, filtering and glazing... The landscape is trapped.

Manuel G. Vicente

Projecting with less tangible elements, with air, with light... Space as an accumulation of routes and sensations... Effects and surprises, light and darkness... EL ESPACIO SENSIBLE. Bamboo as a delay, as an obstruction... visions fragmented by its vertical lines... Octavio Paz's Green House... the veiled space. The pool pavilion... the white house... the transformed space, complex but not complicated, waiting to be modelled by the light, infinitely white, infinitely flat and in a continuous state of transformation. Limit of densities and intensities, a simple cloud decreases the intensity... increases the density LIGHT, SPACE AND MATTER.

AND WATER... as a mirror, as a concrete reality and as an inverted image.
