The Competition, organized by the Traditional Building Cultures Foundation thanks to Richard H. Driehaus and with the support of the Ministry of Culture, and in collaboration with INTBAU Spain and the Higher Council of Architects’ Institutes of Spain, is structured in two successive phases. In the first phase, Spanish municipalities are invited to submit potential topics and sites, from which an international jury selects the three that best meet the objectives and criteria established.
The proposed topics may include significant public spaces —or those with the potential to become so—, degraded urban edges requiring regeneration strategies, heritage buildings that have disappeared and could be recovered, new urban developments designed in coherence with local tradition, as well as proposals for the renovation and integration of the consolidated urban fabric, among others.
The deadline for submitting proposals is 21 January 2026.
