The project of architectural and urban intervention in the ruins of the Piarist schools of the Lavapiés neighborhood of Madrid, of the architect José Ignacio Linazasoro, was the winner of the eighth edition of the brick Architecture Prize. Currently, Linazasoro is also the director of the Chair Hispalyt "Ceramics to build". The project covered different scales, from the urban to the design of interior spaces. In the speech, different construction systems that, beyond the particular solutions, finally provide a unitary character intervention could be observed. The work of Linazasoro is a dialogue between the elements of modern architecture and the great issues of the past, through appointments and various architectural allusions.
