Last March, the 2016 Architecture Awards of the high school Official Basque-Navarre Architects Association (COAVN) were presented. In its four modalities, the alumni of the School of Architecture were very present.
In the architecture modality , the jury has valued those interventions in which architecture revitalizes, reuses and transforms, enabling both new ways of living and urban and social regeneration. In this sense, our alumni Carlos Pereda Iglesias and Oscar Pérez Silanes have been awarded, whose work has consisted in the proposal of housing for rehousing in the historic center of Pamplona.
