For the eleventh consecutive year, ArchDaily celebrated the best of Latin American architecture, presenting the Building of the Year award to architects Barclay & Crousse (Peru), Felipe Assadi (Chile), and Natura Futura + Frontera Sur Arquitectura (Ecuador). This year, the ceremony took place at the Pablo Neruda Lookout on San Cristóbal Hill, bringing together the architectural community and ArchDaily's main partners.
The event began with welcoming remarks by David Basulto, co-founder and CEO of ArchDaily, who also shared a comprehensive report on the Digitization of the Construction Industry with the audience. Afterward, Nicolás Valencia, Editorial Data & Content Manager at ArchDaily, introduced the Building of the Year awards and invited the winning architects to discuss their respective projects in detail: UDEP Classroom Building (Barclay & Crousse), H House (Felipe Assadi Arquitectos), and La Comuna (Natura Futura Arquitectura + Frontera Sur Arquitectura).
The ceremony concluded with the release of the report "State of Chilean Architecture on the Internet", featuring data that offers a quantitative and qualitative overview of Chilean architecture in 2019, which will be made available to all of our readers in the coming days.
We would like to thank all the attendees who joined us, with special thanks to Parque Metropolitano for once again hosting the Building of the Year Awards, as well as our partners Hunter Douglas, Equitone, Volcán, Glasstech, Melón Hormigones, Metaldesign, Aislantes Nacionales, and Crest, without whom this event would not have been possible.
See you at the 2020 Building of the Year Awards!
