Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design 2015: Madrid RÍO

According to Professor Rahul Mehrotra, chair of the jury, the decision to award Madrid Río the Green Prize was motivated by the jury’s desire to highlight the potential for thoughtfully planned and carefully executed mobility infrastructures to transform a city and its region. The extent to which the project harnesses the deployment of new infrastructures as an opportunity to repair and regenerate the city through carefully articulated design interventions is particularly valuable within the context of contemporary urbanization globally. The award ceremony will feature a brief presentation on the project by Ginés Garrido of Burgos & Garrido, with other team members in attendance. An exhibition on the project is on view in the main gallery of Gund Hall from January 19 to March 6, 2016.
