The project
UPV and the Instituto de Restauración del Patrimonio presented this award to senior officials in Tangier for their collaboration, involvement and work on the Tantan project (2018–2020). Archicercle contributed a design inspired by the city’s architectural forms and details.
The design draws on both the character of the place and its architectural composition. Façades, openings and profiles are translated into a tabletop trophy, connecting the object to the recipients’ city.
The blue compositions combine a rectangular base with transparent vertical planes and layered elements. Stepped and curved outlines create an architectural silhouette, alternating coloured surfaces with transparency.
The façade compositions take a more figurative approach: building fronts arranged at an angle, windows and doors in relief, and a palette of greys and light tones with yellow and red accents. The rectangular base carries the award inscriptions, while the upright section brings together the building’s details.
Transparent planes, stepped profiles and blue tones form an abstract interpretation of architecture.
Angled building fronts bring the relationship between two façades and their details into the trophy.
