The way the material is used also cleverly creates a connection between the interior space and its surroundings.

A special mention went to “Saint Roch Car Park” by Archikubik (Miquel Lacasta, Marc Chalamanch, Carmen Santana).

This project was praised for the original and systematic use of ceramic tiles as visual and sunlight filter, adding a sense of unity to this multi-functional building.
