Architect's Statement:

The Madrid Housing Block challenges the modern attitude toward social housing on a topological level by incorpoarting landscape as a primary building material in a literal and figural sense.

Jury Comments:

The project exemplifies a nice balance of idea and execution. The displaced landscape returns as a series of small intricate open spaces. The project fuses two traditions by juxtaposing a sensible housing density at the ground plane with a park.
