The jury of the 64th edition of the FAD Awards for Architecture and Interior Design have recognized the ‘Llacuna’ project in Barcelona with the FAD Award for Architecture 2022, a work by the architects Jonathan Arnabat, Jordi Ayala-Bril, Aitor Fuentes, Igor Urdampilleta and Albert Guerra of Architecture-G.
The winners have been announced this Tuesday night at an award ceremony, in which 16 finalists have been chosen from a total of 434 works submitted to the contest, the organization has reported in a statement.
The jury considered that the ‘Llacuna’ project “is an intervention that completes an island in the expansion of Poblenou with urban and formal coherence”, and has defined it as a work of collective housing that outlines the city in a simple and silent way, in his words.
Interior design for ‘The Garage’
The ‘El Garaje’ project in Madrid, by the architects Ophélie Herranz Lespagnol and Paul Galindo Pastre from Nomos, received the award in the interior design category, for “responding to the change of use from architectural quality with a tight budget, achieving a high quality space.
In the city and landscape category, they have won the Ex Aequo ‘Bon dia, Carme!’ in Olot, by Eduard Callís Freixas and Guillem Moliner Milhau of unparelld’arquitectes, and the Library and Archive of the Municipality of Grândola in Portugal by Pedro Matos and Pedro Domingos, two projects that “create fabric and transform the public space of the city”.
