Description
Built in the aftermath of the Second Vatican Council and in the context of the so-called “review of the Modern”, this Seminar is composed by several buildings articulated in a rural space. The reinforced concrete and the hollow brick are left in plain sight, showing looseness and openness, like a series of communal and outdoor circulation areas, meanwhile closed due to matters of comfort. Please visit the church, the cafeteria, the auditorium and a bedroom block (derelict) with steps that face the landscape.
