In this fifth edition Enrique Nuere, Valencian architect dedicated to monumental restoration, teaching the craft and writing numerous books and articles, has been awarded for his contribution to traditional architecture through his coffered works, known as Mudejar, and by the decipherment of the original geometric rules embodied in the manuscripts of carpentry of the seventeenth century. With this, Nuere has recovered a craft which was forgotten in the eighteenth century, the Carpinter\u00eda de lo Blanco.<\/em> As the presentation of the prize explains, these workers created for centuries some of the most beautiful and recognized architectural jewels of our country. After losing the tradition of the trade, Nuere decided to study the treatises of the profession and deciphered in the 80s the geometric principles that allow to elaborate these coffered complexes, until then, an enigma.<\/p>\n Rafael Manzano, architect who gives name to the prize, says: “Nuere is an exceptional draftsman, who has known how to penetrate the mysteries, both of the manuscripts, and of “La Carpinter\u00eda de lo Blanco”, who cryptically reveals the secrets of this trade”.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/intbauspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/artesonados-Nuere.jpg” title_text=”artesonados Nuere” _builder_version=”4.8.1″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.0.6″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″]<\/p>\n The main works of Nuere are reflected in the new ceilings of the galleries of the Patio del Alc\u00e1zar de Toledo, the cofferec ceiling of the paraninfo of the University of Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, the room of visits of the Palau G\u00fcell in Barcelona, the Church of Madrigal de las Altas Torres in \u00c1vila, the Castle of Cuenca, the cloister of the Clares of Salamanca, the ceilings of the Picasso Museum and the Thyssen Museum, both in Malaga and those of the Palace of Miguel Ma\u00f1ara in Seville, among others. His work can also be found in private mansions, such as the coffered ceiling of the house of Julio Iglesias in Marbella.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.premiorafaelmanzano.com\/2016-enrique-nuere\/” button_text=”LEarn more about Enrique Nuere’s work” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.8.1″][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.0.6″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″]<\/p>\n The Rafael Manzano Prize, the prize with the highest endowment in Spain, was made possible thanks to the generosity of US philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus<\/strong>. Additionally, Mr. Driehaus has created a competition to assist in the recovery of the heritage of Spanish towns, as well as an award to recover the work of construction artisans. The sum total of all the initiatives that Richard H. Driehaus has funded in Spain amounts to more than two million euros.<\/p>\n The Manzano Prize is awarded thanks to the generous support of The Richard H. Driehaus Charitable Lead Trust through a contribution to the Chicago Community Trust for the Richard H. Driehaus Charitable Fund. It is organized by INTBAU, a charity founded by its Patron, HRH The Prince of Wales.<\/p>\n The award ceremony took place on October, 19th, at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_5,3_5,1_5″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/Gwq-NGL5fgI” _builder_version=”4.8.1″][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″ _builder_version=”4.0.6″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Enrique Nuere, winner of the 2016 Rafael Manzano The jury has valued its magnificent work restoring traditional coffered ceilings and designing new ones, but above all recovering the knowledge of a lost trade.In this fifth edition Enrique Nuere, Valencian architect dedicated to monumental restoration, teaching the craft and writing numerous books and articles, has been […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8122,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[87,91,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture","category-calls-and-prizes","category-rafael-manzano-prize"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8136"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8138,"href":"https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8136\/revisions\/8138"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/intbauspain.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The Award with the highest cash prize in Spain<\/h2>\n
