Architect Alberto Campo Baeza has been awarded the Gold Medal for Architecture, Spain's most prestigious architectural honor, which has been presented by the professional association of architects since 1981. Established by the Superior Council of Architects' Associations of Spain (CSCAE), the Gold Medal recognizes the dedication of individuals and institutions whose work elevates the field of architecture.
In its decision, the jury praised “the consistency of the professional career” of Alberto Campo Baeza, which brings together and articulates “the production of an abstract and rational body of work and an awareness of the perception of architecture, particularly the visual exploration of the spaces created.” In addition to this architectural creativity, the jury highlighted “the relevance and influence of his teaching work.”
The awarding of the Gold Medal for Architecture to Campo Baeza is the result of a unanimous decision by a jury that, on this occasion, was composed of the second vice president of the CSCAE, Juan Antonio Ortiz Orueta, serving as jury president; the deans of the architectural associations of Aragon and Cantabria, Pedro Joaquín Navarro Trallero and Moisés Castro Oporto, respectively; Juan Navarro Baldeweg, full member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando; architect Dolores Alonso Vera; philosopher Francisco Jarauta Marión; and the secretary general of the CSCAE, Laureano Matas.
The Gold Medal ceremony will take place on November 28 at the Zarzuela Racecourse in Madrid, Spain. The Spanish Architecture, Spanish Urbanism, and Spanish International Architecture Awards will also be presented during the event. With the exception of the latter, the winners will be announced at the end of this week, following the respective jury meetings.
