"Highlight the architectural quality of the proposal, in which glazed stoneware tiles with a traditional appearance are used, which gives the proposal an aesthetic warmth and high durability.
However, at the same time, it operates as a decorative system, marking solids and voids that allow ordering the architecture of the interior void that plays such a leading role in the configuration of the proposal."

Jury statement.
The jury awarded two honourable mentions in the Architecture category to the projects: "A pergola open to the garden" by Bona fide taller (Alejandro Martínez del Río), and the "Ágora Valencia Pavilion" by Arqueha+Miguel Arraiz.
Among the architectural proposals, it is worth noting the high level of the projects, although some of them could have intensified the value of their proposals with a more intense application of ceramics, to allow us to see the interesting path that the application of these materials has as a future.
- The winner in Interior Design has been for the project "Ávila. Designing the void" by ALL AROUND LAB (Noelia de la Red, Jordi Ribas).
The jury also awarded an honourable mention in the Interior Design category to the project “Housing/Gallery on the Gran Vía in Granada” by Annona Arquitectura (Silvia Cabrera Jiménez and Felipe Hita Suárez collaborating with Ana Frías).
Among the interior entries, the number of good proposals made by architects is surprising.
- In the category for students, the prize went to the project "Rampant Architecture. The town and the house" by Marta Millanes Sánchez from the School of Architecture of Toledo.
Two mentions were awarded in this category: "Patio, halls and stairs" by Alicia de Luis Sánchez from the Madrid School of Architecture, and "The denser the drawing, the finer the thread" by Ana Link López from the CEU San Pablo University in Madrid.
Last week, the ASCER headquarters hosted the meeting of the jury for the XXI Ceramic Architecture and Interior Design Awards. The jury was chaired by the architect Eric Parry (Eric Parry Architects), and the following members: José Juan Barba (METALOCUS), Agnès Blanch (estudi vilablanch), Biba Dow (Dow Jones Architects), Ángel Pitarch (Colegio Arquitectos de Castellón) and Luis Rojo (Rojo/Fernández-Shaw).
The jury meeting began with a conference given by Eric Parry, head of the Eric Parry architecture studio, with an interesting look at the use of more than 2,000 years of tradition in the use of ceramics and the presentation of a series of very interesting projects in which ceramics have been used with great intelligence and interest.
