The FAD Architecture Award 2022 recognizes Arquitectura-G’s project ‘Llacuna’

The Barcelona project “Llacuna”, by architects Jonathan Arnabat, Jordi Ayala-Bril, Aitor Fuentes, Igor Urdampilleta and Albert Guerra (Arquitecura-G), has won the FAD Architecture Award 2022.

The Educational Center Award went to BAU, Centro Universitario de Artes y Diseño.

The winners were announced this past Tuesday, June 14, at a gala awards ceremony, where 16 finalists were chosen from a total of 434 works submitted to the competition, the organization said in a statement. The jury considered that the ‘Llacuna’ project “is an intervention that completes an island in the Eixample del Poblenou with urban and formal coherence,” and defined it as a work of collective housing that draws the city in a simple and silent way.

In addition, the Agrilogística project (Barcelona) received the award for Ephemeral Interventions. The work of architects Miquel Mariné and Pol Esteve stands out for the subtlety of an installation that contrasts the structure of the chapel with a light gesture, says the jury.

El Garaje (Madrid), a project by architects Ophélie Herranz and Paul Galindo, received the award in the Interior Design category, for conceiving a space with “a complex program for a family home”.

The FAD International Award went, ‘ex aequo’, to the projects New Munch Museum, in Oslo (Norway), by architects Juan Herreros and Jens Richter, and Air/Aria/Aire, in Venice (Italy), by architect Olga Subiroso.

As for the seventeenth edition of the FAD Thought and Criticism Awards, the prize, also ex aequo, went to the books El Escorial: imperio y estómago, by David Bestué, and Capital de provincia, by Carlos Romero Rey.

Finally, the jury for the Habitàcola awards, aimed at architecture students, went to Desdibuixant límits by Miriam Lalmolda and Laia Soler, and the Educational Center Award went to BAU, Centro Universitario de Artes y Diseño.
