Cangas Fishermen Departments - Interview by Studio Banana TV

Studio Banana TV features the Fishermen Department in Cangas, Galicia, Spain, with explanations by its authors, Spanish architects Irisarri-Piñera. On the one hand, a pier that hosts multiple activities, with a range of pre-existing facilities amongst which the new fishermen’s sheds to be added might be just another individualised component. On the other hand, an urban scene in which the pier breakwater is already a public space, used spontaneously for marine events, a yacht club isolated from the boat ramp and the pier by a city street, a pedestrian path to the beach in summer, a large car park, etc., ultimately a rich environment with functional conflicts. Finally, but nevertheless incredibly relevant, is the potential impact of these buildings on the landscape, the problem of a screen generated alongside the estuary that could block off the Cangas township.
