O estudio branco-delrio ganhou o primeiro prémio no concurso Work in Progress, organizado pela Ordem dos Arquitetos (OARSN) e a feira This is Concreta. Realizaram uma instalação para a empresa produtora de cerâmica sanitária ARCH Valadares.
Segue um extracto da memória do concurso:
A Valadares carateriza-se pelo controlo da fabricação de peças de qualidade extraordinária. [...] Este sistema, cuja referência é o armazenamento de peças em fábrica, não procura só mostrar a beleza dos diferentes modelos colocados em altura (fora da sua posição habitual) mas também pôr em evidência duas das qualidades fundamentais das peças da marca: precisão e resistência.
Foi um prazer participar na GMMC 2015, uma experiência inspiradora e inesquecível.
Muito obrigado aos tutores: Glenn Murcutt, Brit Andresen, Richard Leplastrier, Peter Stutchbury e Lindsay Johnston pela sua generosidade ao mostrar-nos a sua arquitetura, a sua terra e a sua forma de ver o mundo.
