Sevilla church wins World Architecture award

A CHURCH in Sevilla has won a coveted award at this yearโ€™s World Architecture Festival in Singapore.

In the seventh year of the festival, Iglesia La Ascension del Senor โ€“ designed by Madrid-based AGi Architects – fended off the competition to scoop the prize for a โ€˜completed religious buildingโ€™.

Said to be the largest celebration of architecture anywhere in the world, the jury consisted of some of the worldโ€™s most renowned architects and designers.

โ€œAlthough modest in scale and despite a low budget, AGi succeeded in creating a delicate atmosphere with sophisticated detail,โ€ the jury said.

โ€œThe building expresses a confident and considered response to its context.โ€

During the festival, 33 awards are presented across three main sections: completed buildings, landscape and future projects.
