Medalla de la arquitectura

ARCHITECTURE UNFOLDS

Every year, the Colegio de Arquitectos y Arquitectos Paisajistas awards the Ricardo Alegría medals to individuals who are not directly related to the discipline but who have contributed to it in a way that can be evidenced.

We were asked to a design a the medal to be handed out in the naming ceremonies. Our composition represents the larger social context inside which architecture unfolds. The recipient crosses the architectural field (diagonal glass), leaving his mark (smaller aluminum triangle). Typographically the initials of the award are embedded, with a lower case r on the left side of the diagonal glass and an upper case A on it’s right side. Fabrication by Roberto Pérez.
