Resumen
Isaac Díaz Pardo (Santiago 1920-La Coruña 2012), was a renowned intellectual as well as a painter, ceramist, editor and businessman. He was also a paragon in the transition of Galicia into a nation that is proud of its ancient roots and identity.Rarely do business and culture go hand in hand and serve as a reference to a nation. Isaac will be the emblem or symbol of Sargadelos, a model for the collective memory of a people capable of boosting their economy and entrepreneurship through culture and art in its purest sense. Sargadelos will not only be a business model but also the place where, aesthetically, the historical make-up of Galician culture and its commitment to the future will converge. It will be the seed of a project made up of Galician intellectuals and artists in exile in Buenos Aires: Rafael Dieste, Blanco Amor, Lorenzo Varela and Laxeiro as well as Luis Seoane who will be another prominent exemplar within Galician art and culture. Andrés Fernandez-Albalat Lois, an architect from La Coruña, will also be involved in this project. Fernandez-Albalat Lois, the author of The City of the Rías, was professor emeritus and professor of projects at the Higher Technical School of Architecture of La Coruña and a permanent member of the Royal Galician Academy. Every one of these characters deserves to be recognised and studied separately within Galician culture.The architects, in the Study Seminars during the first period of the Galician College of Architects.
