Galicia, northern Spain, has been historically characterized by the close relationship between the inhabited and the natural worlds, by the intense dialogue between man and nature which is the basis of the anthropic landscape. Cesar Portela starts from that reality, its precarious and unstable condition, to build an architecture whose success lies in the harmony and agreement that is able to establish with that unique and recognisable place on which it operates and its ability to stay. All this through strategies such as "invisibility", letting the spotlight fall on the natural elements, the human intervention limited to a work of counterpoint against the natural environment. Like with architects Sverre Fehn and Norway or Luis Barragan and Mexico, identification with the land itself (in this case Galicia) is an active factor in each of the architectural projects undertaken by Cesar Portela.
