José Ignacio Linazasoro / ES

Famous Spanish architect and pedagogue, author of numerous theoretical books on the topic of architecture as well as publications on his own work. He is considered one of the greatest Spanish experts in the modern reconstruction of historic buildings. He drew attention to himself mainly with the reconstruction and conversion of the ruins of the San Fernando church in Madrid into a library (2006), for which he received the international Brick Award 2006, awarded to the best brick buildings. The reconstruction of the church in Santa Cruz (1985–1988) was similarly successful. However, Linazasoro also deals with new buildings. The leading place in his realizations is occupied by the University Library in Madrid (1993), whose inconspicuous exterior contrasts with the spectacular interior of the five-story cylindrical reading room.

Ladislav Lábus /CZ

He is focusing on designing public and residential buildings, interiors and urban planning. In his work and theory, he focuses on the search for communicativeness, comprehensibility and usability of his buildings. He is known for his responsive approach to designing buildings in historical surroundings or their renovation, for his creations in the field of housing, housing for the elderly and also as his contributions to the transformation of the social care system and the issue of revitalization of housing estates and prefab houses.
