When the inauguration of the Regional Government Headquarters in Girona-an ambitious intervention on an architectural and urban scale within the historical center of this city in northeast Spain-took place one and a half years ago, only a handful of local media talked about the new renovation and extension, designed by Josep Fuses and Joan Maria Viader, of the former Hospital. The work of these two architects, both of whom graduated in the late 70's from the School of Architecture in Barcelona, seems to be accompanied by a (desired) silence. Their careful and thoughtful grasp of the design process, in a scheme moving away from arbitrariness, from frivolous solutions, leads them to remark, "it must be the project itself which interprets the world, which speaks of reality and of its transformation, which generates from within itself all of questions and all of answers". The Architect, in this perspective, seems to be a noiseless tool, a mute means in the creation of the ultimate main character: the building itself.
