‘Pulowi’, the project carried out by the students Iñaki Rodríguez Bueno, Daniel Rúa Calle and María Lucía Segura Suárez; and ‘Temperate’, the proposal developed by Diego Vázquez Anaya and Alexander Pérez Cardona, are the great winners of the VI TAU Cerámica Awards.
Both awards, each with a prize of 1,000 euros, recognise the best proposals presented, respectively, by students of the subject 'Colour control for products' of the Master's Degree in Design Engineering (MUID) belonging to the School of Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Design of the Universitat Politècnica de València (ETSIADI-UPV); and of the subjects 'Colour and Design of Spaces' and 'Design of Ephemeral Architectures', belonging to the Master's Degree in Advanced Architecture, Landscape, Urban Planning and Design (MAAPUD) of the School of Architecture (ETSA).
The involvement of Irene de la Torre Fornés, Juan Serra Lluch and Lidón Arter Mut, responsible for the aforementioned subjects, has been a fundamental part of the success of all two competitions.
In addition to the first prize, both competitions award two-second prizes of €500 each. In the case of the MUID-UPV, the other recognised proposals have been 'Mesa', designed by Yvonne Kaltenstadler, Daniel Schmidt and Johanna Gerner, and 'Hiraeth', by Guillermo Songel de Ambrosio and Azba Ali Serri.
The proposals created this year have responded to the slogan ‘Design the concept II’, through which TAU Cerámica proposes the design of the pieces from a conceptual point of view, based on the different approaches of its catalogue ‘Feel and Mix’.
In the case of the MAAPUD-UPV, the two-second prizes in the 'VI TAU Cerámica Ideas Competition: Design of Ephemeral Architecture' awarded to 'Neutral', a proposal by Jairo Ávila Jaime and Jeisson Jiménez, and 'Fusion', the work of Paula Espinoza Chiriboga, Valery Nikole Sánchez Narváez and Karla Sacoto Guzmán.
The awards, a collaboration between the Research Group on Colour in Architecture of the University Institute of Heritage Restoration (IRP-UPV) and the Graphic Expression in Architecture Department of the UPV, were presented at an event held in the auditorium of the ETSA-UPV.
