Architect Alberto Campo Baeza has received the Premio Nacional de Arquitectura, awarded by the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and the Urban Agenda.
Known in English as the Spanish National Architecture Prize, the award recognizes Campo Baeza's impactful career as both a practitioner and educator. Previous winners include Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza (1946 y 1954), Alejandro de la Sota (1974), José Antonio Corrales and Ramón Vázquez Molezún (1948 and 2001), Miguel Fisac (2002), Juan Navarro Baldeweg (2014), Manuel Gallego Jorreto (1997 and 2008) and Rafael Moneo (1961 and 2015).
Campo Baeza expressed gratitude for the award in an online statement, thanking the generosity of the judges, which he says outweighs his own merit. He also said that he "is happy and can only thank God for everything."
Alberto Campo Baeza is Professor Emeritus at the ETSAM UPM, Member of the Spanish Royal Academy of Fine Arts, holder of the Tessenow Medal, the Arnold Brunner Prize of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York, and International Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects and the American Institute of Architects. In 201, he was awarded the COAM Prize and the Attolini Prize by Anahuac University in Mexico, and in 2018 he was awarded the Piranesi Prize by the Accademia Adrianea in Rome. In 2019 he was awarded the Gold Medal of Architecture by the CSCAE.
