A/P 2016

Imperfect future

Among the various architectural cultural programmes that the Arquia Foundation develops, the support for the promotion of young architects stands out for its interest. The synergies produced by the different cultural programmes of the Foundation that are addressed to them are concentrated in one event through the ARQUIA/PRÓXIMA FORUM. It is held every two years in the form of an open debate and analyses the architectural and sociological conclusions drawn from the projects presented at each biennial. In this context, the arquia/próxima prize of 15,000 euros is awarded to the best production of the biennial, as well as the arquia/innova prize of 3,000 euros. In addition, the 24 projects selected by the jury are explained by their authors.

On 20 October 2016, in the framework of the 5th Foro arquia/próxima Málaga 2016: FUTURO IMPERFECTO (Imperfect Future), the arquia/próxima 2016 prize was awarded to PERSIANA BARCELONA for, in the words of Alberto Veiga, curator of this 5th edition, assuming the need to make an improvement in a product that over the years has become part of the collective imaginary.

From a work attentive to detail, the project implements its performance, not only on a small scale but also taking into consideration how the element will be able to characterise spaces of a larger scale, how the element will fit in with the city. The way in which such a simple element in its essence is capable of characterising and configuring a space gives an idea of why the attitude towards small things, and in this case that of its authors when faced with the commission, is sometimes transcendental.

In addition, the First Arquia/Innova Prize was also awarded to BLOG PAISAJE TRANSVERSAL for taking on the challenge of disseminating in the purest sense of the word. A challenge based fundamentally on the concern to make available to the public new ways of approaching the work on the city, the environment and the landscape, even if this means going against the tide. And it is this desire for critical capacity, the transversality of its analyses and the conceptual framework under which the whole proposal is developed that allows it to act as a thinking tool.
