Architecture & Planning - , ,
It is organised by INTBAU (the International Network for Traditional Building, Architecture & Urbanism), thanks to the EKABA Foundation, the Fundação Serra Henriques, the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, the Council of Architecture Institutes of Spain and Hispania Nostra Association, and with the high patronage of His Excellency the President of the Portuguese Republic.This award does not intend to honor the architects whose works best represent the latest architectural trends, or those whose interventions involve avant-garde transformations of our heritage. On the contrary, it is addressed to those architects whose work has contributed to the preservation, continuation and adaptation to contemporary needs of the building, architectural and urban traditions which define the identity of the places where they were built.Thus, they are practitioners who, instead of seeking notoriety and novelty through their works, play an important role which is not sufficiently honored because the results, often remain unnoticed, precisely due to their evident continuity with the past.It was first awarded in 2012 in a ceremony held at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (Madrid), where it has been held each year since then.The winner is awarded a €50,000 prize and a commemorative plaque, thanks to the generosity of the American philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus.
