T
he overall winner in the architecture cate-
gory was
”, a project
by Jorge Vidal and Víctor Rahola that reveals
a close relationship between the construc-
tion of a winery and the creation of wine,
both being processes that involve the land.
The jury highlighted the appropriateness of
using a material that is at once industrial and
rustic in a design that also shows how the
chosen material can be adapted to the diffe-
rent geometric conformations of the space,
imbuing the whole building with a very dis-
tinct character.
Two merits were awarded in the architecture
category, to
by NUA arquitectures,
and to the
by Diego López Fuster + SUBAR-
QUITECTURA.
First prize in the interior design category
went to
” by Garcés - de Seta - Bonet Ar-
quitectes. The Mercabarna, Parc Logístic
and Europa Fira stations on the L9 line were
due for interior and exterior refurbishment,
with the project aiming to give them a time-
less look that would age well and be easy to
maintain.
The jury singled out the contrast created by
the use of clean, smooth ceramic paving that
is in contact with people moving about and the
crude, bare nature of the other surfaces. The
design demonstrates how the one material can
be used to provide solutions to all the challen-
ges that flooring in a public space poses.
