In addition to the prizes based on values, three special distinctions will be added: the Spanish Architecture Prize, the Spanish Urbanism Prize, and the Permanence Prize intended to recognize those works that stand out especially both for their correct aging and for their validity and relevance, as intrinsic values of Architecture and Urbanism.

"The 21 finalist proposals of the ARQUITECTURA Awards share the social and cultural values of Architecture and Urbanism and show the commitment of the profession to society through works that want to contribute to the quality of our built environment, well-being and the health of people and the sustainability of the planet."
