The verdict of Tile of Spain Awards 2021 took place on the 20th of November, with the prestigious Spanish architect Carlos Ferrater as the jury chairman. Fermín Vázquez , Jaime Sanahuja, José Mª Marzo, Alicia Fernández and Ángel Pitarch contributed their share as spokespersons in the jury gathered in Castellón.
On this occasion, MRM Arquitectos was awarded for its project New Headquarters of the Construction Labour Foundation of the Valencian Community in Betera. The proposal highlights a standard product of large-format pieces applied with an industrialised system that defines the enclosure with criteria of cleanliness, order and minimisation of resources.
On the other hand, the winning project in the Interior Design of Tile of Spain Awards 2021 was Living in a Coderch House by Vilablanch. The jury admired the judicious selection of ceramic materials and the careful execution of the work. Finally, Gonzalo López Elorriaga won the award in the category of Final Degree Project. The work of the student from the ETSAM proposes the use of ceramic tiles with traditional formats, but with proposals that can be considered transgressive.
