The 2025 FAD Architecture Award, presented tonight during a gala held at the Teatre Lliure, went to two emblematic names in the Catalan architecture scene. Jordi Badia and Miquel Espinet, along with Jero Gutiérrez, won for the "high quality" and "elegance and precision" of the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute, according to the jury. "Based on an intelligent strategy of topographical insertion, it successfully reorganizes the university campus by integrating a building of more than 17,000 m² into the urban fabric with special sensitivity to the context," the jury states. The jury praised the building for "not only successfully resolving a complex topography and a demanding functional program, but also generating a city: creating new pedestrian routes, transforming the concept of a teaching and research building into a friendly and accessible space, and incorporating its roof as a viewing platform and public space open to the public."
