Beurteilung durch das Preisgericht
The winning entry in the Exterior Spaces category, chosen by an international jury made up of the architects Chris Rankin, Pasqual Herrero and Maria Viñé, is the ecological restoration of the garden of El Tanque Cultural Space, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, by the architect Fernando Menis. El Tanque is set in a post-industrial area that has been a listed heritage site since 2014. The ecological restoration of its garden has provided the Cabo Llanos neighbourhood in Santa Cruz de Tenerife with its first green public space.
The jury considers that the project “works with ecology and heritage to offer a creative, cultural and socially inclusive public space. The project demonstrates sensitivity at all scales, including in the reuse of industrial waste for the design of furniture and lighting.”. The garden of El Tanque “is a very complete project in terms of sustainability, social benefits and respect for local identity and landscape design.”
