ESARQ final degree projects (TFG), awarded at the Bienal Española de Arquitectura y Urbanismo

For the second time in a row, ESARQ students have been awarded prizes at the V Final Degree Project Exhibition within the Bienal Española de Arquitectura y Urbanismo.
In this twelfth Bienal, the student Magda Barceló won an award for her project on the Carmen Amaya Dance School, in Poblenou in Barcelona, which she completed as a student of the workshop run by Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats during the 2011-2012 academic year. A second project, by Joan Sanz, was selected at this year's Bienal: he also worked on a project on the Carmen Amaya Dance School within the same workshop.

At the V Final Degree Project Exhibition within the XII Bienal Española de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, a total of twenty projects won awards and five were noted as outstanding, including Magda Barceló’s project.

It is not the first time that ESARQ students have won an award at the Final Degree Project Exhibition. At the XI Bienal, María Amat, who finished her studies in the 2009-2010 academic year, won first prize with her project on the Botanic and Gardening Centre at Montjuïc, Barcelona, also completed in the workshop run by Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats.

The director of ESARQ, Vicente Sarrablo, has stated that “awards like this constitute a true recognition of the hard work carried out in the school, which improves the academic standard of our students' TFGs”. “ESARQ Final Degree Projects”, added Sarrablo, “are very demanding projects, which require a great deal of implication and teamwork between the different areas involved in the project, so this kind of recognition for our students has a double value for us: we are very proud of our students, and it makes it clear that we are going in the right direction”.
