The V Biennale di Architettura di Pisa, held between 13 and 29 October, has awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award to architect Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra. An award dedicated to those who, during their profession and through their work, have been attentive to the search for the construction of urban meanings always inspired in people’s quality of life.

The jury has emphasised the architect’s ability to combine in his works major themes such as social balance and the understanding of the city as a place for meeting and relationship, all of it carried out with a high degree of aesthetic sensitivity.
