VIII BEAU
Once again the Spanish Biennial shows the diverse kaleidoscope of our architecture. A pluralism that is reflected in this 8th edition and which demonstrates the consolidation of an event that has been progressing steadily year after year.
[...] The large number of entries and their excellent workmanship made the jury's decision a difficult one. This year, 392 works were submitted, making it impossible to make a short selection. A total of 34 works were shortlisted, a large number of works, which extends the hitherto traditional exhibition and catalogue. These results make the Biennial look more like a showcase of Spanish architectural diversity than a competitive selection. The main awards are proof of this. The Manuel de la Dehesa Award went to the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, the work of the EMBT studio formed by Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue. A poetically conceived project and a superbly crafted building, which responds with sincerity, openness and democracy to the needs of a modern, working public body, as a modern parliamentary building should be. A Special Mention has been awarded to another public facility: the Forum 2004 Esplanade and photovoltaic plant, designed by the studio of Elías Torres and José Antonio Martínez Lapeña. It is also a splendid work of great perfection, which has been a protagonist during the events of the Barcelona International Forum and which remains in that city with a clear social and landscape dimension. [...] The FCA's Enric Miralles Award goes to the Lasesarre football stadium in Baracaldo (Vizcaya), another building for public use, designed by Eduardo Arroyo, an architect under 40 years of age, with a very interesting trajectory that is sure to provide surprises in the near future.
