Story details

The Biodiversity Foundation of Spain’s Ministry for the Ecological Transition announced the winner of its urban climate-shelter design contest on 21 October. “Los lunes a la sombra,” submitted by Víctor Ballesteros Mateos, was awarded €5,000. The jury also selected six finalists, each of whom will receive €1,500.

The ministry said it received 20 submissions, assessed for sustainability, urban integration, versatility and feasibility. The winning concept has not yet been confirmed as a built project: the announcement says a separate technical-design contract may be awarded for up to €5,000 excluding VAT and that implementation could receive a conditional budget of up to €39,865 excluding VAT.
