This edition is curated by the team of Sevillian architects María González García, Juan José López de la Cruz, and Ángel Martínez García-Posada, who have proposed an exhibition concept that demonstrates the double opportunity of architecture to respond to the challenges of the present and anticipate the future of our habitat and territory.
A specialized jury chaired by the general secretary of Urban Agenda and Housing of the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (MITMA), Iñaqui Carnicero, has highlighted these initiatives for their quality, innovation, sustainability, environmental efficiency, and social and cultural vocation.
Works
In the selection of proposals, the importance of the quality public housing project is highlighted, the sensitive work with pre-existing conditions, the good articulation of the single-family home in unique border conditions, the care in the design of the equipment, the attention to environmental aspects or the adequate understanding of large-scale projects. According to the jury, “These projects allow us to appreciate the valuable efforts of architectural professionals in Spain, who belong to different generations, and their active contribution to the future improvement of both public and private areas, as well as urban and territorial environments."
In this sense, the curators have highlighted that "many of the projects have known how to operate in already built areas, working in a sensitive way with material and social contexts to which they have given new valences while safeguarding local links."
