By — Filed under: Awards , , , ,
 

The Rice Design Alliance Prize, presented annually, has been created by Rice Design Alliance () to recognize exceptionally gifted architects in the early phase of their professional career. The jury saw avant-garde architecture and a personal language in the work of Antón García-Abril that is at the forefront of the contemporary architectural scene.

RDA – a committee of architects and academics – will meet annually to review the work of national and international architects, young talents that exemplify excellence in design and are within their first 15 years of professional practice.

The inaugural “Rice Design Alliance Prize” was formally delivered to Antón García-Abril, founder of Ensamble Studio (Madrid), on April 15 in Houston. In addition García-Abril gave a lecture to present his latest work.

Have you asked him?
Offered your CV?

Interest, enthusiasm, commitment, talent, experience and initiative and their unique perspective are what we need to see for someone to join our film/video production company.

It is not a job, but a vocation. Y’see we do it because we must, money is complementary.

i know, i’m far far away, but dear howy, i can sense, that you have something hanging on your vermilion border. i would reach you a handkerchief, but i’m so far away from you.
when you say:”It is not a job, but a vocation. Y’see we do it because we must, money is complementary.” do you press your fist to your forehead and squeeze a tear of autoadmirative selfcontemplation.
my favourit part is the “Y’see” – yo’ man.
nevertheless Mr. García-Abril has a interesting website; tricky.
