The selected design proposals for B\u00e9jar and Olite<\/h1>\n

Madrid, 07\/05\/19<\/p>\n

The Driehaus Architecture Competition is a unique and generous initiative from US financier Richard H. Driehaus, called by the Spanish Ministry of Development, aimed at recovering the Spanish architectural heritage. The three locations selected during the first phase of the Competition were B\u00e9jar, Olite and Guadix.<\/p>\n

In this second phase, 56 national and international architecture firms submitted their design proposals to respond to the needs of the municipalities. Each of the selected projects will be awarded 12,000 \u20ac.<\/p>\n

B\u00e9jar in front of the mirror (B\u00e9jar ante el espejo)<\/em><\/h3>\n

\u2018B\u00e9jar ante el espejo\u2019<\/a> is the title of the winning project of architects Abelardo Linares and Elena Jim\u00e9nez<\/strong>. The project proposes opening up the public spaces surrounding the Church of Santa Mar\u00eda, the Jewish Museum and several buildings from the golden age of the textile industry, toward the spectacular views of the Cuerpo de Hombre river valley. Additionally, it connects the existing urban fabric in an attempt to reactivate the environment; the project includes the construction of a new residence around a patio surrounded by galleries inspired by the local tradition.<\/p>\n

In turn, the Olite project seeks to recover the area extending from the Palace and the Church of Santa Mar\u00eda to the Church of San Pedro. The project selected is called \u2018Cerquo\u2019<\/a>, from architects Xavier and Luc\u00eda Espin\u00f3s Bermejo, Estefan\u00eda Fern\u00e1ndez-Cid and Rodrigo Toro<\/strong>. Their project for the new building at Plaza del Fosal incorporates the typical construction characteristics of the area, without detracting from the prominence of the adjacent temple. The same virtues are found in the building proposed for the R\u00faa Villavieja.<\/p>\n

Due to the high quality of the rest of the proposals, the jury has awarded honorable mentions<\/a>, endowed with 2,000\u20ac, to six projects that contribute to the revitalization of these two towns.<\/p>\n

Guadix<\/h3>\n

In the case of Guadix,<\/a> the plan was to recover and improve the ensemble that crowns its historical center, around the Alcazaba, the old citadel. However, the jury considered that none of the proposals fulfilled all the objectives and it decided unanimously not to award the competition for this location and to include it in the call for next year.<\/p>\n

The Jury<\/a>, composed of representatives from the Spanish Ministry of Development, Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, the Consejo Superior de Arquitectos de Espa\u00f1a, INTBAU (International Network for Traditional Building), the mayors of the three towns, and the Rafael Manzano Prize, emphasized the quality and feasibility of the projects submitted. The winning designs will be showcased at the Arquer\u00edas de Nuevos Ministerios, in an exhibition that will open from June 12, day of the award ceremony, until late July.<\/p>\n
