After four months of research identifying works in Latin America and the Caribbean that met the eligibility criteria of the ‘Latin American Architecture Prize Rogelio Salmona: open / collective spaces’ a list of finalist has been compiled. Members of the International Curatorial Committee, architects Ana Maria Duran (Andean Region), Ruth Verde Zein (Brazil Region) and Fernando Diez (Southern Cone Region), and Art History background Louise Noelle Gras (Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean Region), postulated a total of 62 works covering the four regions.
On the 5th of August, upon completion of a shortlist the International Curatorial Committee selected 20 works whose authors will be invited by Rogelio Salmona Foundation to participate in the second round of this award.
Here are the 20 Finalists of the Latin American Architecture Prize Rogelio Salmona.
The jury that will decide the winners of the second cycle of Rogelio Salmona Prize shall consist of the members of the International Curatorial Committee and architect Wilfried Wang. The Prize will be awarded in a ceremony to be held in Bogota on last week of October 2016.
