Tile of Spain Announces Winners of its 18th Tile of Spain Awards
Castellón, Spain -- The jury of the 18th edition of the Tile of Spain Awards met at ASCER’s headquarters at the end of November to decide on award winners.
First place in the architecture category was awarded to Santa Creu & Sant Pau Hospital Research Centre (Barcelona) by PICHarchitects Pich-Aguilera and 2BMFG Arquitectes whose permeable ceramic envelope seeks to blend in with the architecture in general. The jury highlighted the innovative use of a ceramic material and the context in which it was used, with its capacity to blend into part of the surroundings. The façade is a permeable ceramic envelope that guarantees visual links between indoors and out, with a chameleonic outer appearance.
