Plaça Major nominated for the EU Mies Awards for its approach to public space, heritage and urban life
The project Plaça Major — Public Space, Heritage, Housing and Urban Life has been nominated for the EU Mies Awards, one of the leading European recognitions in the field of contemporary architecture.
Developed by Guillem Moliner, Eduard Callís, Clàudia Calvet, Pep de Solà-Morales and Quim Domene, the proposal presents an intervention that understands heritage not as an isolated element, but as an active urban infrastructure capable of accommodating housing, public space and everyday life.
The project stands out for its balance between memory and contemporary use, advocating an architecture that reinforces urban continuity and strengthens the relationship with the community through a sensitive, rigorous approach free from superfluous gestures.
The nomination for the EU Mies Awards recognises this commitment to the collective value of the built environment and places the project within the European debate on how to intervene in historical contexts through contemporary architecture.
From here, we congratulate the team on this recognition and on contributing to an architectural approach that combines responsibility, quality and long-term vision.
