The Daylight Award for Daylight in Architecture recognised the architectural projects of Alberto Campo Baeza as restrained and silent examples of sensuous, mental and poetic qualities in the architectural articulation of daylight.
His works were lauded as “celebrations of the silent miracles of daylight in buildings of widely differing functions”, with buildings that “exemplify the spiritual qualities of daylight and thus expand the understanding of the values of daylight beyond the current scope of science.”
In addition to his numerous, almost archetypically simple, and focused houses, he has designed buildings for a multitude of other purposes; museums such as Andalusia's Museum of Memory, the recently completed Robert Olnick Pavilion of the Magazzino Museum in New York, the Caja Granada Savings Bank, a sports hall for Francisco de Vitoria University in Madrid, the Almeria Cathedral Square and several office buildings - all which share the same intention of ennobling the architectural experience through abstraction and reduction.
