Spanish architect Lluís Comerón, who recently passed away at 62, has been recognized for his tireless professional practice with the Gold Medal of Architecture. The High Council of Colleges of Architects of Spain (CSCAE) has posthumously awarded the Gold Medal of Architecture to Catalan architect Lluís Comerón Graupera, who served as president of the institution during the 2018–2022 term.
The Gold Medal of Architecture is the highest honor awarded by the CSCAE. This accolade publicly recognizes the efforts of individuals and institutions to ennoble the field of architecture throughout their professional careers. The general secretary of the CSCAE, Laureano Matas, read to the attendees the plenary agreement by which the CSCAE council members exceptionally granted this award to Lluís Comerón, highlighting his “integrative professional practice aligned with the values of environmental, economic, social, and cultural sustainability, as well as his tireless and long-standing work in which high architectural quality was his primary challenge, serving as an objective of general interest for the benefit of national and international society as a whole.”
The Gold Medal of Architecture is awarded to individuals or institutions that have excelled in: promoting architecture as a cultural asset, developing architecture to achieve socioeconomic well-being, disseminating architectural work, defending the image of the discipline, and outstanding professional practice. It is the most prestigious accolade awarded by the High Council of Colleges of Architects of Spain.
The Minister of Transport, Mobility, and Urban Agenda, Raquel Sánchez Jiménez, presented the award during a private ceremony held at the COAM. The distinction was exceptionally granted by a unanimous agreement of the plenary council members following the sudden passing of Lluís Comerón on January 25.
