In the judges’ opinion, this project is an authentic tribute to ceramic tiles in their broadest sense, and profoundly rooted in local tradition. The proposal reveals a deep understanding of the ceramic process, which acts as a structuring element for the space and the common denominator on a journey that recovers and revitalises the empty spaces and ruins of Los Loros, a village on La Gomera. Particular recognition was given to the meticulous study of  compositions and patterns, capable of creating dynamic settings, as well as to the respect shown for traditional architecture, linking together those artisan workshops where ceramic tiles form the essence of their craft.
