2023 Rafael Manzano Prize: Luís Rebelo de Andrade (English subtitles)

Spanish subtitles: • Premio Rafael Manzano ...
The 11th Rafael Manzano Prize for New Traditional Architecture has been awarded to Luis Rebelo de Andrade, a Portuguese architect with a long record in the design of newly built and refurbishment projects, always with a particular concern for integration with the identity of the local buildings and landscape. Thanks to his large knowledge of local materials, vernacular building traditions and each region’s history, his work blends harmoniously with its built and natural environment. In his professional practice he is notable for his commitment to the creation of an architecture that is not just functional but also reflects the essence and the less tangible values of the places where he works.
The Rafael Manzano Prize for New Traditional Architecture is intended to disseminate the value of traditional architecture as a benchmark for the architecture of our time. It's awarded thanks to the generosity of the American philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus (1942-2021). Since 2012 it has served to recognise careers that have been outstanding in this field in Spain and Portugal, contributing especially to the continuation of traditional architecture, both in the restoration of architectural and urban heritage and in the building of new work which, based on local tradition, is able to blend harmoniously into such ensembles. The Rafael Manzano Prize is funded with 50,000 euros, awarded with a commemorative medal.
The Prize is organized by the Traditional Building Cultures Foundation with the collaboration of INTBAU (International Network of Traditional Building Architecture and Urbanism), the Fundaçao Serra Henriques, Kalam and the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. It also counts on the High Patronage of His Excellency the President of the Republic of Portugal.
The video has been produced by Pablo Sevilla.
