2005 FAD

Minutes of the Jury of the FAD Awards 2005

''Reinterpreting a place is an essential condition of all architecture. Understanding that a scaffold corridor can be a place. And then, to turn this involuntary urban via-crucis into a "situation" with capital letters. Some perforated wood and a loop generate an experience that takes us back to places of memory. Tomorrow, when we walk back among the scaffolding "tubes", we will only be left with the memory. The jury awards the FAD Prize for Ephemeral Spaces to Manantial. "Caja de Resonancia" (Soundboard) by Joaquín Casanovas, Javier Castellano and Rubén Cortés.

They say that to be a good boxer you have to know how to fit in. The plaza del Forum (Forum square) is a space that starts by leaving the centre of the ring to his opponents. A cheek bruised by international architectures, a liver bruised by a sewage treatment plant, by infrastructural conditions. An eyebrow split by the continuous noise of the round and in the middle of all the blows, like someone trying to hold on to the ropes, three small blows and an uppercut. The pergola goes out to the sea, the Diagonal ends, you can see it in the photographs, the champion is in the middle of the ring. The jury awards the FAD Award for Outdoor Spaces to Esplanade Forum 2004 and Planta Fotovoltaica (Photovoltaic Plant) by José Antonio Martinez Lapeña and Elías Torres.

Have you ever tried to play tute with a grandparent? It is difficult to know how, but they always have  one win left for the final play. Knowing how to stand still, waiting. Reduce the number of gestures, as one reduces the number of materials, of operations. And to know that with the last card, played with patience and wisdom, they win the day. Paricio and Clotet concentrate their energies on resolving one point, redirect the whole game to that card, and finally, after cleaning and tidying up, with a simple pavement and a well-protected patio, you don't know how, but the cards have been taken away again. The jury awards the FAD Interior Design Award to Reforma de Sala d'Actes Polivalent de l'ITEC (the Renovation of the Multipurpose Hall of ITEC) by Lluis Clotet and Ignacio Paricio.

The stadium is not a heroic place, it's just brave. Brave to change the initial position for one that requires more effort in exchange for more reward. Brave for varying an established topology by a suitable one. Brave for assuming the interstitial spaces of the structure as spaces to be explored, to be enjoyed. Brave for taking on the challenge of water and turning it into an asset for architecture. Brave for understanding itself as an infrastructure by letting people bring their colours to it. Brave is a condition of honest people, only phonies try to appear heroic. The jury awards the FAD Architecture Prize to the Braga Municipal Stadium of Souto de Moura''
