Rafael Manzano Prize
The Richard H. Driehaus Architecture Competition. Phase two
Конкурс призван найти идеи по сохранению национальной и культурной самобытности в архитектуре и градостроительстве Испании. Состязание проходит в два этапа. На первом было выбрано три конкурсных территории: Бехар, Гуадикс, Олите. На втором – архитекторы и урбанисты должны предложить проекты по их развитию. Предпочтение необходимо отдавать использованию традиционных мотивов, местных материалов, современных технологий, которые при этом не помешают подчеркнуть историческую ценность региона. Лучшие проекты получат шанс на реализацию.
The Richard H. Driehaus Architecture Competition is an International Competition created to promote an architecture and urbanism practice committed to preserving and giving continuity to local traditions in Spain.
It will award and promote proposals working on the basis of local architectural tradition and particular identity of the site, and contributing to make more beautiful, coherent, sustainable and socially integrating towns.Designs using the materials and building techniques of the region, as well as prioritizing traditional solutions, will be encouraged, contributing to providing more and better employment possibilities to regional building workers.
The awarded proposals are intended to serve as a model for urban and architectural designs more sensitive to these issues and more committed to preserving Spanish cultural heritage.
Entries are invited for the second phase of the Competition, in which architects of all nationalities are encouraged to present urban architectural design proposals for any of the three sites selected by the jury.
A second international jury, on which the various institutions collaborating in this initiative will once again be represented, will assess the proposals, selecting for each site the entries that best fulfill the Competition’s criteria. The jury there will also include representatives of the authorities of the three municipalities to which the sites belong.
