Antonio Cominges Tapias. Obra religiosa en Vigo

Abstract

From the late twenties until the sixties of last century, Antonio Cominges Tapias carried out most of the buildings associated with religious institutions in Vigo, as well as being one of the architects who built more in this period. His architecture uses simplified regionalist and Baroque ornamental elements on academicist compositional schemes, and it evolves as the functional aspects in their buildings are imposing. Understood the passage to modernity as a gradual process of laborious stripping of schemes and assumed languages, Cominges travels the same path (hard path) that most architects of his generation. His religious architecture clearly shows this process.
