A major exhibition is opening at MAXXI which investigates the relationship among architecture, structural engineering and ecological, technological and digital innovation, all increasingly crucial for our relationship with space and our planet.

The prize aims to acknowledge and reward quality architectural production in Europe featuring in this year’s edition two Grand Prizes: a new Grand Prize for Small-Scale Residential (€30,000) and the already traditional BigMat Grand Prize for Architecture (€30,000).

Today we are revealing the last members for the upcoming edition’s jury, Jesús Aparicio and Jesús Donaire, who will join David Van Severen, Petr Janda, Gilles Delalex, Enrico Molteni, Nuno Brandão Costa and Ángela García de Paredes.

Together with Ignacio Pedrosa she founded the firm Paredes Pedrosa Arquitectos, which has achieved widespread international acclaim with its inescapable public vocation.

The singularity of Nuno Brandao Costa’s work lies in his sustained attention to the primary elements of construction and its plasticity. Through new materials and techniques, his work has built upon the clarity of traditional Portuguese architecture.

The Milan based architect will join this edition’s Panel of Judges, which brings together some of the most talented architects in Europe today. Keep posted to discover all the Jury members!
