Abstract
Between 1954 and 1962, the company Astilleros y Talleres del Noroeste (Astano), located in the Ria de Ferrol, goes from being a small bank shipyard to become a reference in the world market. During that period they were lifting a set of facilities to house the different phases of the shipbuilding process, based on a clear functional organization, looking for a bright and optimized workspace and using the most advanced construction techniques. The result can be understood today as an example of the recovery of modernity in twentieth-century Galician architecture.
