Apart from the BigMat Grand Prize for Architecture (€30,000) this year’s edition features a new Grand Prize for Small-Scale Residential Architecture, also awarded with €30,000, and devoted to any projects comprising the construction, extension or reform of single-family units or small residential compounds up to 1,200m2.

The exhibition takes an exhaustive tour of the work of the architects, presenting a large arsenal of media, including a collection of models, plans, sketches, ideograms and photographs of the 30 years of work carried out by RCR.

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.
