Teresa Galí-Izard nominated for Schelling Architecture Prize
A board of trustees has proposed three offices for this year's Schelling Architecture Prize, including the office of ETH professor Teresa Galí-Izard.
The Schelling Architecture Foundation awards the Schelling Architecture Prize every two years. In the past, ETH professor Jan De Vylder and emeritus professor Anne Lacaton and her partner Jean-Philippe Vassal have been honored, among others. In 2024, the board of trustees has external page nominated three offices under the guiding principle of "Deep Transformations - Earth, Landscape, Architecture" that leave the classic professional profiles behind: Bureau Bas Smets from Brussels, LOLA Landscape Architects from Rotterdam and the Arquitectura Agronomia office of ETH professor Teresa Gali-Izard from Barcelona.
"Her Chair of Being Alive is already a kind of statement through its substantial name and deals with life cycles, living beings and the landscape as the basis of life for future generations," writes the jury. She sees her task as a landscape architect in influencing how people connect with these living systems. “Teresa Galí-Lizard provides radical impulses that can revolutionize our understanding of architecture and landscape.” The final selection of the winning office and the award ceremony will take place in November in Karlsruhe.
