The Richard H. Driehaus Architecture Competition has announced the winners for the 2019-2020 edition. Entries were invited for the second phase of the Competition, in which architects of all nationalities were encouraged to present urban architectural design proposals for any of the four sites selected. A total of 101 design proposals were submited and a\u00a0second 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\u2019s criteria. The jury there will also include representatives of the authorities of the three municipalities to which the sites belong.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>

<\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>For Guadix, the proposal selected among the 30 submissions was the one presented with the title 'Pisando la Tierra', carried out by the architects Alfonso Zavala and Ram\u00f3n Andrada, amongst their collaborators Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Fern\u00e1ndez Amor and \u00c1lvaro Romero Sancho. The proposal is worthy of recognition for the reorganization it suggests of the Plaza Pedro de Mendoza, which gives back the main historic access to the Alcazaba its importance.\u00a0It was also highlighted for the solution put forward for the residential block, which is in current state of ruin, where the authors of the proposal masterfully put into practice the forms and materials of the tradition of the area of Guadix, with a result which is completely aligned with the identity of this place.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>

<\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>For the town of Alzira a total of 15 design proposals were received. Among them, the jury selected for the first prize the proposal called \u2018Ad Fontes\u2019, the work of the studio Jim\u00e9nez & Linares, from Seville. The project stands out because of its aim to retrieve the urban fabric of the west area of \u201cla Vila\u201d and because of how it gives value to the vestiges of the Almohad wall and the former church of Santa Mar\u00eda, where the primitive bell tower is retrieved, turned now into a viewpoint which makes it become the main landmark when one analyses the profile of the city and also the finishing element of the street which runs along its main axis.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>
