“Kalathos”
First Prize for Trujillo
The winning proposal selected by the jury, awarded with 12.000€, was the one under the title “Kalathos”, by the architects from the Basque Country Aritz Diez Oronoz and Imanol Iparraguirre Barbero, who also won the first prize of this competition in the 2016-2017 call with their proposal for Grajal de Campos.
The design proposal
Their project highlights the value of the surroundings of the wall with a series of small interventions aimed at enhancing the values inherent to the place and it suggests the construction of a new building in a ruined area within the city walls. A building designed around a courtyard which brings together the best qualities of the traditional architecture of the place, not only fully-integrating itself in the environment but also enriching it with a building that enhances it and revitalizes it, also connecting by means of a new public access the “Plaza de Moritos” and the Convent of La Coria.
