Santa&Cole Competition

Santa & Cole, the Spanish Association of Landscape Architects and the European Biennial of Landscape Architecture announce the first Santa & Cole Landscape Architecture Competition, a Europe-wide competition of ideas intended to promote and reward good professional landscape architecture work in Spain, as a new culture which modifies and enriches the surroundings. Held biennially within the framework of the European Biennial of Landscape Architecture, each competition will consider a different sphere of action.

This first competition will reward the landscape architecture intervention in the Valle de Sant Pere, within the Belloch property, situated in the municipality of La Roca del Vallés, Barcelona. The surface area subject to the intervention is of 10 Ha and the proposal should focus on a project which resolves the connections and a coherent coexistence between this plot, the adjacent cultural complex existing, the historical buildings, and the different current and future uses.

The winning competitor or team, in accordance with the terms of these conditions, will be awarded a prize of €7000 and a certifying diploma.
