The works respond to values of architectural dissemination and diffusion, innovation, and entrepreneurship, as well as other ways of practicing the profession (Commitment Award); universal values (Sustainability and Health Award); cultural and artistic values (New Bauhaus Prize); basic values of Architecture and Urbanism (Habitat Award); values associated with rehabilitation, renovation, and regeneration (Re Prize for rehabilitation) and professional and ethical values (Profession Prize). In addition, three special distinctions have been awarded: the Spanish Architecture Award, the Spanish Urbanism Award, and the Permanence Award.
 
The president of the CSCAE, Marta Vall-lllossera, has underlined the influence of architecture in the lives of all people, "because we live, work, educate or carry out leisure activities there", and has highlighted: "In the face of globalization that does not take into account the place and that leads us towards a standardized culture, a quality architecture will allow us to maintain the cultural values that generate the feelings of rooting and belonging to a community, and this not only in the built space or in the towns and cities, but in the landscape and the environment that, from childhood, each one remembers and esteems according to their experiences».
 
Six works were awarded for their value.

SUSTAINABILITY AND HEALTH AWARD: Universal values
Social Housing in Ibiza by Pep Ripoll Vaquer and Juan Miguel Tizón Garau.
Promoters: Institut Balear de l'Habitatge (IBAVI).
Location: Ibiza, Balearic Islands.


Sustainability and health award. Social housing in Ibiza by Ripoll-Tizón. Photograph by José Hevia.

The building is located on the border between a residential area and a floodplain area in Ibiza. It seeks to get away from the existing environment and take inspiration from the popular architecture of the island, with white walls, solar protections, and shaded spaces. The proposal consists of a group of stacked and attached houses, with an interior space that connects patios and porches, creating community areas. The car park is located on the ground floor due to the nearby water table. 19 homes distributed on the upper floors are built, all with good lighting and cross ventilation. Sustainability is prioritized with an A energy rating, using natural lighting, renewable energy and efficient technologies.
 
"The project shows extreme confidence that both the plan and the section are generators of quality in architecture. Oblivious to a mainstream that associates social housing with bare finishes and fake craftsmanship, it is committed to the complex simplicity provided by the relationship between spaces and simple qualities. In this way, living areas of great wealth and versatility and shapes and images of great personality are achieved. The decorative resources extracted from the most ancestral crafts of the area endow the proposal with a highly valuable rooting in the popular. Values of always in architecture for today."
Jury statement.

New Bauhaus Award. The Sunflower Houses by Arenas Basabe Palacios. Photograph by Kurt Hoerbst.

The Vienna Wildgarten project presents an innovative approach to inclusive and democratic urban planning for the design of a new neighborhood. Through a collaborative process and the participation of multiple stakeholders, including public entities, developers, citizens, and cooperatives, who worked together to define planning and construction management. The project is based on a matrix of gardens that structure the territory, creating extroverted plots that allow for architectural diversity and a community space called 'Allmende'. The project received recognition and is under construction, enriching the social mix of the neighborhood.
 
"The project presents an innovative practice of inclusive and democratic urbanism, with a coherent urban expansion, the result of a process of negotiation and coexistence, which begins with planning but prospers and continues in urbanization, construction, use and reaches the administration of the varied and rich community spaces. Collaborative management of the services of a high-quality built environment is presented, in a community architecture that configures the community that it houses."
Jury statement.

COMMITMENT AWARD: Values associated with innovation, diversification, disclosure, and diffusion
Domestic sunrises. ISSUES OF COLLECTIVE HOUSING IN 21ST CENTURY EUROPE by Carmen Espegel, Andrés Cánovas and José María de Lapuerta.
Promoters: ICO Foundation and Asymmetric Editions.
Location: Madrid.


Commitment award. Domestic sunrises. Collective housing in 21st century Europe.

"The publication stands out for its ability to capture research on the types of European housing architecture, in which the types of housing are redrawn from the study of server spaces and served spaces."
Jury statement.

PROFESSION AWARD: Professional and ethical values
Initial school 140 in the community of Santa Cruz de Villacuri "Barrio Chino", Ica, Peru by Atelier Ander Bados (Ander Bados Sesma) and Estudio Copla (Betsaida Curto Reyes).
Promoters: NGO All Hands and Hearts.
Location: Peru.


Profession award. Escuela inicial 140 por Ander Bados Sesma, Betsaida Curto Reyes. Fotografía por Eleazar Cuadros.

Villacuri is a human settlement in the Peruvian desert, the result of an invasion that began 25 years ago. It lacks urban planning and only has a few shops near the road. The lack of government attention has affected the vulnerable population, including the school, which has not been rebuilt since an earthquake in 2007. The NGO All Hands and Hearts decided to rebuild the school in 2019. The identity of the place is based on the diversity of cultures and construction techniques used. The design uses local materials that help the community itself to feel identified and dignify local construction methods. Solutions were implemented to beat the desert heat and improve security, privacy, and easy access for parents. In general, the project reflects the harshness of the environment and highlights local elements such as the wild cane and the mat.
 
"In a context of climate emergency, and aware of the need to promote responsible architecture to guarantee the well-being of all people, the Initial School 140 stands out for its architectural quality and its commitment to environmental, social, and economic sustainability. They are evident in the use of zero kilometer materials without coating and in its careful bioclimatic response, which offers shaded spaces and cross ventilation to mitigate high temperatures."
Jury statement.

RE AWARD FOR RENOVATION: Values associated with rehabilitation, renovation, and regeneration
Rehabilitation of offices 1822 by David Lorente; Josep Ricart; Xavier Ros; Roger Tudó - HARQUITECTES.
Promoters: Galenicum.
Location: Barcelona.


Renovation award. Galenicum New Headquarters by Harquitectes. Photography by Adrià Goula.

The design focuses on the renovation of an industrial building to house the new offices of a pharmaceutical company. The aim is to adapt the existing open space and offices to the needs of the company, which has 140 employees and various departments. It is proposed to improve the building envelope to regulate the temperature and organize the work space in two areas; on the one hand, a large open space typical of industrial activity and, on the other hand, an office building.
 
"The renovation design has managed to transform an old industrial building into a coworking and living space, with a bio-climatization strategy that encourages collaboration and natural comfort. The project has reoccupied the space, of industrial dimensions, and has endowed it with a more domestic scale, creating welcoming and flexible environments that, in turn, define the work dynamics and the relationship with the immediate environment through green patios. With great sensitivity, he integrates solutions that combine sustainability and beauty while respecting the original character of the building, reusing existing structures, and contributing to improving people's quality of life and urban regeneration."
Jury statement.

Habitat award. Landscape intervention in the Almadraba del Rompido by Sol89. Photograph by Fernando Alda.

The Real de la Almadraba, located in the Flecha del Rompido natural area, is an architectural complex built in 1929 that represented the art of tuna fishing on the Huelva coast. Abandoned in the 1970s, it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2015. The rehabilitation focused on industrial pieces and is completed with a pedestrian path that connects the Piedras River with the Atlantic Ocean. The rehabilitation is divided into two areas, the jetty and the diesel booth, of which barely any trace remained, and the boiler, the chimney, and the tar pit, in a better state of conservation, although in need of a strong intervention. The project seeks to recover the patrimonial and ethnological heritage of this ancient fishing art in harmony with the coastal environment of Huelva.
 
"It stands out for the clarity, elegance, and beauty of the intervention. Its ability to integrate into the landscape in a subtle way and, at the same time, be respectful of pre-existing conditions, recovering the hallmarks of a way of life that lived in harmony with nature. An exciting and evocative proposal, it captures and blends the magical light of the southern seas into the solution."
Jury statement.

Three special distinctions.

SPANISH ARCHITECTURE AWARD (EX AEQUO)
House in red by estudio_entresitio (María Hurtado de Mendoza Wahrolén, César Jiménez de Tejada Benavides and Alvar Ruiz Villanueva).
Promoters: Private.
Location: Ávila, Castilla y León.


Spanish Architecture Award (ex aequo). House in red by estudio_entresitioby estudio_entresitio. Photograph by Roland Halbe.

The project is located in Calas de Guisando, Ávila, and stands out for its respect for the surrounding landscape and vegetation. The house in red blends harmoniously into the environment using stilt architecture on stilts, barely touching the ground. The house plan adapts to the topography and existing trees, growing and shortening between them. The house connects with the environment through different intermediate levels and offers private spaces connected to the exterior and the common area. The construction is carried out with laminated boards and sustainability and energy efficiency are prioritized.
 
"It stands out for its ability to walk on the slope of the plot on the edge of the reservoir, generating its own shape as a precipitate in redwood and glass from the upper access, creating a succession of interior descents and openings to the spectacular views of the surroundings. Each exterior and interior unevenness serves as an occasion for an experience of perception and adaptation to the terrain."
Jury statement.

SPANISH ARCHITECTURE AWARD (EX AEQUO)
Rehabilitation of offices 1822 by David Lorente; Josep Ricart; Xavier Ros; Roger Tudó - HARQUITECTES.
Promoters: Galenicum.
Location: Barcelona, Catalonia.


Spanish Architecture Award (ex aequo). Galenicum New Headquarters by Harquitectes. Photography by Adrià Goula.

The project focuses on the renovation of an industrial building to house the new offices of a pharmaceutical company. The aim is to adapt the existing open space and offices to the needs of the company, which has 140 employees and various departments. It is proposed to improve the building envelope to regulate the temperature and organize the workspace in two areas; on the one hand, a large open space typical of industrial activity and, on the other hand, an office building. The open space of the ships is interrupted by a central courtyard. In the offices, the different departments are organized into families or "tribes" with their own synergies. The proposal proposes that these tribes work in a circle, around a space with a strong plant component. Transparent wooden panels are used to create work areas and intermediate spaces and protected patios are integrated for leisure activities and rest.

"It is a timely and successful intervention in one of the many industrial buildings that become obsolete. it demonstrates the capacities and occasions of the volume suggested by the same original construction system and regenerates a new productive environment of high environmental and spatial quality through replicable and exemplary strategies."
Jury statement.

SPANISH URBAN PLANNING AWARD
n'UNDO Plan #Manilva_towards a Local Urban Agenda by n'UNDO Technical Office (n'OT), represented by Beatriz Sendín Jiménez, Verónica Sánchez Carrera and Alejandro del Castillo.
Promoters: City Hall of Manilva (Málaga).
Location: Manilva, Andalusia.

A detailed analysis of current urban planning is carried out, identifying areas for improvement in different aspects such as sustainable land use, renaturation, decarbonization, resilience to climate change, access to quality housing, mobility, and accessibility, proposing up to 212 proposals that seek to improve the urban and territorial environment of Manilva in the short, medium and long term.
 
"It is a coherent proposal with a new approach to the urbanism of the 21st century, aimed at ordering, regulating, and improving the existing reality in the face of the increase in the consumption of natural resources. It establishes the precise lines for rigorous urban planning, based on the principles of international urban agendas, through a triple transversal approach: "don't do", "redo" and "undo". In this way, he builds an innovative, courageous process committed to society in a difficult environment, in which his message acquires greater value as a point of reference for another way of proposing responsible urbanism and is directed, unequivocally, at improving the lives of people."
 
  Jury statement.

PERMANENCE AWARD
Murcia Congress Center by Paredes Pedrosa Arquitectos (Ángela García de Paredes; Ignacio G. Pedrosa).
Promoters: Autonomous Community of Murcia. Ministry of Tourism and Culture of the Region of Murcia.
Location: Murcia.
 

Permanence Award. Murcia Congress Center by Ángela García de Paredes y Falla; Juan Ignacio Garcia Pedrosa. Photography by Luis Asín.

The Congress Center completes the program of uses of the Murcia Auditorium, a work by Paredes Pedrosa in which exteriors and interiors come together and an area of naves and patios is configured in a garden that functions as a meeting point and creates a permanent visual relationship between both spaces. After twenty years since its construction and an intensive use complementary to the musical use of the Auditorium, its rooms have hosted congresses, exhibitions, events, and celebrations... The exterior and interior are confused through the reflection of the glass enclosures. In this way, the rooms follow one another in an open and luminous area, between patios, in which its dimensioning allows to control the direct entrance of the sun in continuous transparency. The project has received mentions and awards for its architectural design for decades.

"The projected equipment stands out for its timeless sobriety and simplicity which, together with its spatial solidity and versatility, manages to maintain a perennial balance. The Congress Center completes the program of uses of the Murcia Auditorium, whose emphatic triangular geometry did not allow for a physical attachment. The building, autonomous and independent of the auditorium, is associated with it based on its materials and color range, enhancing the open spaces as an extension of both buildings and, in this way, creating a space for meeting and a relationship between the two. permanent visual, which maintains its interest and validity."
Jury statement.
