The Spanish Network of Traditional Buiding Crafts Masters is an online directory created to promote and disseminate the traditional building trades. This initiative provides visibility -and job opportunities- to the masters, as well as generating a source of pedagogical information on the different crafts, techniques and materials that shape the identity of each region.
Its rollout has allowed many people to be put in touch and has facilitated the use of these trades and crafts by the various bodies responsible for conserving heritage.
The Spanish Network of Traditional Master Builders was honoured with the 2019 Hispania Nostra award in the “Heritage conservation as a factor of economic and social development” category, with a Special Mention by the Jury in the EU-Europa Nostra awards of that same year, and with the 2021 National Craft Award in the “Promociona Award for Private Entities” category.
As part of the 2022 work plan of the National Reference Centre for Crafts, and in collaboration with INTBAU Spain and the Fundación Culturas Constructivas Tradicionales (FCCT), the Network of Training Centres in Traditional Building Crafts and Heritage Restoration was established.
This network is part of the Spanish Network of Master Traditional Builders, developed by the FCCT, and its main objective is to connect all institutions offering training in traditional building crafts, enhance their visibility, and foster greater contact and synergy among them.
