Category A)
In category A) Intervention in built heritage, the jury, in a first round of evaluations and taking into account the decision of the Award management to give visibility to a large number of works in this category and in category B, announced a list of 15 shortlisted works on 30 May, from which, following its final deliberation, it has selected four finalists, which are:
• Civic Centre Lleialtat Santsenca by H Arquitectes (Barcelona, Spain)
• Ilha da Bela Vista by Cerejeira Fontes Architects and LAHB (Porto, Portugal)
• Parliament of Canton Vaud by Bonell i Gil Arrquitectes and Atelier Cube (Lausanne, Switzerland)
• New access to the historical centre of Gironella by Carles Enrich Studio (Barcelona, Spain)

From among the four finalists, the jury has decided to give the Award to the Civic Centre Lleialtat Santseca project by H Arquitectes. This decision is the result of attaching great value to the way in which the project maintains the original spirit of the building, a social place with memory, shown through the relationship between the spaces that house new uses framed within the history of the existing walls. A sensitive architecture built using low-budget solutions and committed to sustainability by means of powerful passive systems that structure the project. Furthermore, the jury has decided to give a special mention to the rehabilitation of dwellings in the deprived neighbourhood of Ilha da Bela Vista in Oporto, carried out by Cerejeira Fontes Architects and LAHB (Laboratory of Basic and Social Housing), due to its capacity to implement a programme and a sustainable project capable of transforming an urban area that needed an efficient and inclusive renewal.

Category B)
In category B) Exterior Spaces, from among the ten works shortlisted by the jury, the following four finalists have been selected:
• Skanderbeg Square by 51N4E, Anri Sala, iRI and Plant en Houtgoed (Tirana, Albania)
• Visitor Center of Villers Abbey by Binario Architectes (Villers-la-Ville, Belgium)
• Access to Jorba Castle by Carles Enrich Studio (Barcelona, Spain)
• Zollverein Park by Planergruppe GmbH Oberhausen (Essen, Germany)

In category B the jury has decided that the winning project is Skanderbeg Square in Tirana, by 51N4E, Anri Sala, iRI and Plant en Houtgoed, attaching special importance to the freedom exercised by the project authors in meeting the challenge of working on a site that is extremely complex and symbolic due to its key historical and political context. And due to the humbleness expressed through a subtle topography that reasserts to the same degree the value of the surrounding historical architectural complex and creates porosity with the setting, breaking with the composition of the established urban axis and generating a new model of urban space.

Category C)
In Category C) Urban Planning, the four finalists are:
• Historical centre of Liérganes and its surroundings by Carlos de Riaño Lozano, Carlos Ferrán Alfaro, Fernando Navazo Rivero, Carlos Ferrán Aranaz and Luis Herrero Fernández (Cantabria, Spain)
• Badaevskiy Brewery, Redevelopment by Herzog & de Meuron (Moscow, Russia)
• Rec Comtal master plan by Carles Enrich Studio (Barcelona, Spain)
• In Natura Veritas by AGi Architects (Pontevedra, Spain)

In category C, the jury has decided that the winning project is the special protection and rehabilitation plan of the Historical centre of Liérganes and its surroundings, by Carlos Riaño Lozano, Carlos Ferrán Alfaro, Fernando Navazo Rivero, Carlos Ferrán Aranaz and Luis Herrero Fernández. In the jury’s view, the intervention is highly valuable for the recovery of day-to-day life, combating the phenomenon of the progressive abandonment of historical centres. The jury also highlights that this is a plan of practical application whose level of detail shows the authors’ extensive knowledge of the vernacular architecture and scenic values of the place

Category D)
In Category D) Dissemination, the four finalists are:
• Guinea Heritage 2020 by Montserrat Villaverde and Laida Memba Ikuga (Barcelona, Spain)
• National Network of Traditional Building Masters by Alejandro Garcia Hermida
• The conservation of the house as heritage, single-family houses of Alejandro de la Sota by Teresa Carrau Carbonell (Valencia, Spain)
• Valencia Historical Centre. Eight centuries of residential architecture by Camilla Mileto, Fernando Vegas and co-authors (Valencia, Spain)

The winning work is Guinea Heritage 2020, by Montserrat Villaverde and Laida Memba Ikuga. This project integrates and structures strategies of research, knowledge and dissemination, considering built heritage as cultural capital for the population of Equatorial Guinea and for tourism. The jury underlines the fact that a project which began life as a piece of academic research has had the capacity to grow, involving not only national and international experts but also social, artistic, educational and governmental agents, having a positive impact on civil society, involving communities and contributing to the essential recovery of heritage. A participative, multidisciplinary, integrated and replicable model, which exemplifies the capacity to return to society from the Academy.

This year, the Award management has incorporated the Special Restoration Award, which from all the submitted entries goes to the intervention which, from a technical and methodological perspective, has stood out most for its quality, precision and respect. Having carefully analysed all the projects submitted in all the categories, many of which are of extremely high quality, the jury has unanimously decided to give the award to the Belgian studio Ma² Project for the Maison Saint Cyr in Brussels. This project stands out for the excellent work done in showcasing all the features of one of the city’s iconic buildings, enhancing not only its modernist characteristics but also its great wealth of spaces, thanks to the artisanal and restoration work defining its eclectic and historicist interiors.

The winners of the 4th award, as in the case of the previous awards, receive a framed copy of an original photograph by Francesc Català Roca, while the finalists and shortlisted candidates (categories A and B) receive a diploma. All the submitted works will be included in a commemorative catalogue of the award, with the goal of documenting it, and will form part of the international heritage archive housed on the Award website. A space that brings together and makes available to everyone (professionals, researchers, university community and the general public) works that offer an overview of the memory of our environment.
