描述
Emilio Tuñón and Carlos Martínez de Albornoz have been working together since 2004, when the latter joined the practice of Mansilla + Tuñón. Since the initial period following the death of Luis Moreno Mansilla in 2012, Tuñón and Albornoz have reimagined their approach to architecture, circling back in some ways to their beginnings but also pushing forward in new directions. This monographic issue concentrates on their evolution, featuring numerous recent projects across a diverse range of typologies, from museums and concert halls to a health science facility, a winery, and houses, plus a conversation with the Madrid-based architects and illuminating essays.
Tuñón y Albornoz Arquitectos is an architecture office based in Madrid, dedicated to the confrontation of design and construction practice with theory and teaching. Directed by Emilio Tuñón and Carlos Martínez of Albornoz, Tuñón y Albornoz Arquitectos emerged as a natural evolution of the Mansilla + Tuñón Arquitectos office, after the death of architect Luis M. Mansilla in 2012.
The work of Tuñón y Albornoz Arquitectos comes, for the most part, from first prizes obtained in national and international competitions, and has been recognized with the following awards: Fuera de Serie Award (2023), Architecture Prize in Extremadura (2021), XV Prize BEAU Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism (2021), AMO Awards (2021), Nueva Bauhaus Award (2021), COAM Luis M.
