The architectural team comprising Juan Tur, Alexandra Delgado and Daniel Cortizo has won first prize in the International Design Competition with jury intervention for the urban and spatial master plan of the former Central Hospital of Asturias (HUCA) in Oviedo, Spain.
The competition seeks the urban regeneration of the site following the closure of the hospital, creating a new space of opportunity in a strategic location within Oviedo. In response, the project proposes the creation of a new green, mixed-use district with increased density and diverse programming, reconnected to the urban fabric and Oviedo's city center via a new pedestrian and bicycle axis called the Cultural Path (Senda Cultural). This vibrant, dynamic district dedicated to innovation is designed to serve as a national and international benchmark.

The firm Jaramillo van Sluys Arquitectura + Urbanismo has won the design competition for a new project in the historic center of Quito, Ecuador. Named Edificio Iquique, the residential development features three different unit types—ranging from 52 to 118 square meters—all of which include at least one private outdoor space.
"We interpret housing as the primary space for socialization among the diverse family structures that inhabit it, each with different ways of living and coexisting," explain the designers of the winning proposal. "Therefore, transitional spaces between public and private realms are incorporated to foster encounter and interaction among residents and the surrounding neighborhood, emphasizing the creation of social networks," they add.
