Gaudi La Coma Artists’ Residence advance registration deadline is approaching!

Antoni Gaudi is probably Barcelona’s most famous and most beloved architect. His work can be found all over the city as he designed some of the world’s most recognised landmarks, including the Sagrada Família which he sadly never saw completed. 

Inspired by nature and determined to support local communities, Gaudi was an architectural revolutionary. Gaudi’s design principles were far ahead of his time, incorporating sustainability and social impact into his projects a hundred years before most people realized how important they would become.

The Gaudi La Coma Artists’ Residences is the first in a series of design competitions run in partnership with the Gaudi Knowledge Association and Inngenium Lab to celebrate Gaudi’s intellectual heritage.

For this competition participants are asked to submit designs for a sustainable artists residence and education complex called “La Coma”. It will be located in Huesca, Spain and would need to follow Antoni Gaudi’s design values and principles of sustainability, functionality, aesthetics and innovation.

The jury are looking for designs that have the potential to become an iconic landmark while still remaining sensitive to the natural surroundings.
