Trazas de Pontevedra, our project for the musealization of 18 Galician-Roman archaeological sites in Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain, will begin to become a reality very soon. The first phase, which includes interventions in the castros of Alobre, Toiriz and A Subidá, is nearing completion.

In these three archaeological sites, as it will be done in the rest in later phases, a sensitive and respectful approach is being carried out with the environment of each castro. The objective is to provide them with their own, sustainable and simple identity while we create a unique experience for the visitor. Finally, they’ll become a driver of tourism in the area.

We will share all the details of this first phase of the project shortly.

The European Award for Architectural Heritage Intervention, organized with the support of the College of Architects of Catalonia (COAC) and the Association of Architects for the Defense and Architectural Heritage Intervention (AADIPA), celebrates its 5th edition this year with the objective of distinguishing high-quality heritage interventions. Registration is open until March.

Joaquin Perez-Goicoechea, founder and principal at AGi architects, is part of this edition’s jury, specifically in category C, dedicated to Urban Planning. The AGi’s project, Trazas de Pontevedra, was a Finalist in 2019 in this same category. A large group of professionals selected on the basis of their extensive experience and recognized capability in the field of architectural heritage intervention will be in charge of choosing the winning works for this call.

Joaquin Perez-Goicoechea, Founding Partner and Principal at AGi architects, participated in the Vimcorsa Forum “The city, habitable and sustainable space”, broadcast via streaming.

Along with other professionals, Joaquin debated in the round table on “Sustainable Habitat”, sharing his experience and the strategies necessary to achieve this objective, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
