2017 FAD

The jury decides to grant the award in the category of Ephemeral Interventions, for reconstructing and dignifying with recycled materials one of the basic elements of architecture, achieving a rich dialogue of opposites, to the Commemorative Columns for the 30th anniversary of the reconstruction of the German Pavilion of 1929 in Barcelona by Luis Martínez Santa-María and Roger Sauquet.

The one hundred steel drums, collected from a chemical waste cemetery, have been given a second life of greater dignity and beauty by being recycled as drums for these new columns, reminiscent of those that once stood in front of the icon of modern architecture. The drums, joined vertically by a simple welding seam, together with their colourful and at the same time unpainted and rusty finish, transform their meaning, situating themselves between conceptual art and architectural installation. In fact, the reference to the upright element, as opposed to the horizontality of the Barcelona pavilion, reconnects with the essence of these primordial elements of architecture: the podium and the column; the slab and the screen; the noble material and the recycled material, all in dialogue.

The jury awarded the City and Landscape Award for the intervention that exemplarily resolves a park that does not impose hierarchies of use and for its commitment to an invisible intervention that enhances the environmental cycle, to the Rehabilitation of the Joan Oliver Park by Data Arquitectura i Engenyeria + Xavier Vendrell. It is appreciated that the main intervention on this existing park is underground, i.e. it is not visible, although it solves the constant flooding that the area suffered before its rehabilitation. In this way, the trees are preserved intact and arranged naturally on the continuous earth surface, providing a multifunctional space for the inhabitants.

The jury decided to award the Interior Design Award, for integrating both the material plane and the intangible memory of the city in a project of creative archaeology, to Pontejos 9 by Acebo Alonso. PONTEJOS 9 is a comprehensive rehabilitation project that works on both the material and the intangible dimension of Madrid's memory. It assumes as a design process a kind of "creative archaeology" that reassigns value to found objects and fixes them in place, in such a way that it constructs a new support for a material history of the neighbourhood recreated by the authors. It goes beyond the mere incorporation of an old residential building into the real estate market: it offers an alternative practice that goes beyond the imaginary of budgetary pragmatism and vindicates the value of culture as an interpreter of the existing

The jury decided to award the Architecture Award for masterfully resolving a timeless and sober architecture, with a precise and exciting design to the Museum of the Royal Collections by Mansilla Tuñón Arquitectos. The project elegantly resolves a multiple condition: to provide a space dedicated to the display of large-scale works from the Royal Collections; to involve the present in the historical series of extensions to the Royal Palace; and to build an urban-scale plinth beneath the city of Madrid as seen from its southwest entrance. The result is a monumental and sober architecture which, with an absence of lyricism, offers an emphatic spatiality, free of details, precise and exciting. This great architecture cannot be evaluated exclusively in relation to its present, but belongs to a family of works that are charged with preserving the flow of history and fixing an image of its time.'
