National Sculpture Museum Colegio San Gregorio
The San Gregorio College is one of the most outstanding buildings in Valladolid, a representative of the characteristic late Gothic in late 15th century Spain. The traces left by each of the operations over the years are a reflection of the real life of the building which, far from being frozen at a certain point in time, has adapted for better or worse to a wide diversity of use as a college, a prison, an administration centre and now as a museum.
The fundamental issue of how to approach the renovations and extensions to the museum was not approached generically, but instead in a specific, particular way for each area and circumstance. The project proposes an integral operation with differing degrees of intensity. Like components of an architectural altarpiece built over the centuries, the new work will become part of the never-ending process of additions and modifications that accompany the life of the building.
