Casal Saloio de Outeiro de Polima是少数几个记录这片土地最初使用情况的例子之一。这是一个古旧而简陋的乡村房屋,随着时间的推移经历了不断的变化和扩建,直到现在变为一个博物馆空间。
The Casal Saloio de Outeiro de Polima is one of the few examples that document the first occupations of this territory. It is an old and humble rural house that has undergone successive changes and expansions over time until it is now transformed into a museum space.
In its genesis it was just a simple compartment, then it gained an annex room, then a side wing, a stone oven, the corral and the second floor, and again more other annexes. At one point two buttresses were added to contain structural problems. The constructive logic has always been that of informality and the mere supply of needs.
With so many layers of transformations, it was decided to consolidate the old rural house in its last recognizable configuration, being able to read its evolution through the broken and uneven geometry. The new expansion consists of two new volumes intersecting in an L, forming a courtyard with the existing set and adopting a similar shape and scale, continuing, now in the XXI century, the logic of successive expansions and intersections that characterize it.
