Benedetta Tagliabue – EMBT Architects is honoured to announce that the ‘San Giacomo Apóstolo’ Church and Parish Complex project has been nominated with the EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture by the Mies van der Rohe Awards 2024 EUmies Awards.
The Parish complex of San Giacomo is proposed as a catalyst for the area in which it is introduced, creating a new fulcrum that is capable of creating identity within the local community by promoting socialization, education and interaction. The building is designed to have a welcoming presence that is open to the people, doing so through the use of lightweight organic architecture that contrasts with the robust and compact materiality of the historically important preexisting Ferrara.
