Archiprix International 2001Universidad de Navarra, Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura - Pamplona, SpainVisitors Reception CenterEduardo Arilla AlvarezTutors: Roberto ErcillaThe design for a visitors’ reception center in Pamplona (?), Spain, has been situated in the old city center. The building fits in with a series of existing buildings, in relation to size and height. The center is a simple, tranquil building with an expressive roof that can be seen as the transformation of the traditional roof. The building is introvert, with high places windows only offering view of the sky and part of the urban skyline. A ramp to the entry offers a gradual transition from outside to inside, walls acting as screens.View presentation
