The Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda has declared a finalist the project of the pools of the Valladolid town of Castromonte, the work of the architect Óscar Ares, for nineteenth edition of the International Exhibition of Architecture-La Biennale Di Venezia, which will open its doors this Friday in the Italian city.
The exhibition will consist of a central room that acts as an introduction and will gather 16 architectural projects selected through a call. These architecture and landscape works in Spain carried out by different studies will be presented with 32 models and demonstrate the diversity of approaches that are being carried out throughout the country from architecture to balance ecologies and economies.
The Poles Building, already a finalist of the European Commission awards under the name of Mies Van de Rohe Award 2024, will be part of the exhibition that represents the best works carried out in our country. It is the second time that Ares’s study exhibits in the most prestigious contest under the protection of the Pavilion of Spain, prior selection.
To date, it is the only study of Castilla y León with this privilege and a few in the country that have had two works under the ceiling of the Spanish pavilion. In the edition number 17, with the residence of elders in Aldeamayor de San Martín and now with the municipal pools of Castromonte.
The Valladolid study has also been selected for the 2025 edition of the prestigious FAD Awards for Architecture and Interior design by the Castromonte Meal House Building.
