Teulada-Moraira auditorium wins Royal Institute of British Architects prize
A STATE-OF-THE-ART concert hall on the Costa Blanca has won a top award from a British organisation, dubbed the 'Nobel Prize of Architecture'.
The futuristic auditorium in Teulada-Moraira (Alicante province), designed by Francisco Mangado has been given the prestigious annual prize awarded by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), which is given to structures in European Union member States outside the UK.
Runner-up awards were presented to The MBA Building and HEC Campus designed by David Chipperfield; the Pierresvives by Zaha Hadid Architects, and the Sorø Art Museum by Lundgaard and Tranberg.
Teulada-Moraira auditorium is also a candidate for the equally-prestigious Stirling Prize for Best Building of the Year, the winner of which will be announced at a ceremony in the Scottish city in October.
