In his role as president of Fundación RIA David Chipperfield met with Galician Minister for Infrastructure and Mobility Ethel Vázquez on the 18 January to sign an official agreement of collaboration. It commits an investment of €212,000 towards the foundation’s ongoing work on the AC-305 regional road that cuts through towns of the Barbanza region. The project aims to give back priority to pedestrians and urban identity impacted by the effects of traffic planning, and to be part of a larger reconsideration of mobility and sustainable development for the dispersed settlements of the region.
