On 26 January, the following students from the School of Architecture at UIC Barcelona: Basile Ribas, Mariona Mayol and Albert Jové won the Cevisama Lab 2016 Ceramic Design Competition, at the Cevisma ideas lab.
The jury for this edition consisted of Mariano Bolant, President of the Professional Association of Architects of Valencia; Juan Ferrero, Vice-Dean of the Professional Association of Interior Designers of Valencia; María Álvaro, Product Director at Peronda; and Raimon Castells, a representative for the Nuevo Azulejo and Técnica Cerámica specialised materials.
Basile Ribas Steiner won first prize in Category A - Ceramic products created using a semidry pressing method with her project entitled "Origami". This prize was awarded "due to the product’s application in architecture and also due to the specific nature of the product since it allows enamelling on both sides".
The project entitled “(L)ONA” by Mariona Mayol Batlle received first prize in Category B - Ceramic products created via other means. The jury highlighted the fact that it was "a unique piece with a clear application that resolves a problem, based on an original idea".
Albert Francesc Jové won second prize in this category, for his project entitled "Ladrillo Hestia". It involved setting out various construction-related solutions based on one basic element.
The projects could be viewed throughout the duration of Cevisama, from 1 to 5 February at the Feria Valencia. The award ceremony took place on 5 February at Cevisma.
