arturo alvarez is present at the new office of the Galician College of Architects (COAG) Vigo, an example of bioclimatic architecture.

In their new head quarters, the COAG achieves that architects themselves are the leaders in setting an example as for the use and promotion of buildings, not only esthetically brilliant but also intelligent environmentally friendly.

Its materials and shapes are able to keep the heat in winter and the coolness in summer thanks to its double “skin”, underneath circulates the air. All the illumination, no exceptions, is energy-efficient and it hardly exist any divisions in the spaces, so to obtain unusual lightness and luminosity. They even recycle the rain to water the green zones!

arturo alvarez had the opportunity to participate in this huge project, e.g., the offices occupied by the consultancy EOSA (Strategy and Organisation), doing its bit to support the use of energy saving methods without dropping design and the formal beauty.

Thanks to this kind of projects we become every day a little bit more aware of the importance of working all together in order to obtain a world more ecological and respectful with the environment.
