Colegio Mayor Sant Jordi
"In the location that used to be a football pitch, the new building for the Sant Jordi Students' Hall of Residence and the offices for the UB Media Foundation pretend on the one hand to recover the profile of the recently built perimetric housing blocks and on the other hand, through a light, low building, both in its shape and materials, keep the general dimensions of the site. Metallic and glass surfaces are an indication of the characteristics of the facility, different from its neighbouring residential buildings."
(Josep Lluís Mateo, from Memory of the competition, 2001)
