HONOURABLE MENTION R10.000, Jesús Azpeita, Anna Montagut, Björn Ahrenby, César Patín Lapausa, Stockholm
The merit of this proposal is its systematic approach illustrating the principle of combining a basic unit into eight back-to-back building rows. Within the overall pattern there are a lot of options to provide “cut out” spaces for sport and recreation, for market activities, as well as for semi-public spaces accommodating laundry and playground functions. However the scheme offers a limited number of basic unit types and when the units are combined into a unity it may result in a uniformity and repetitiveness. The units have l courtyards but their size is limited and prevents any future extensions on the ground. While the jury enjoyed this submission the above-mentioned concerns limited its award-winning potential to a honourable mention.
