Last week they have annonced the winner of the World Building of the Year Award in Barcelona, Spain. This year the price went to Peter Rich, the South African architect who designed the Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre in South Africa. It was clearly the most architecturally and psychologically powerful project.
Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre is a poverty relief project using ecological methods and materials. The complex landscape was both the inspiration for the design and the source of most of the materials for its construction. This resulted in a composition of structures that are authentically rooted to their location.
