About their winning project Möbius Urbana:
“Möbius Urbana explores cohousing as a model for balancing individual autonomy with collective living. A continuous winding path links four residential pillars, weaving together shared spaces and layered unit types to create a gradient of public and private zones. Through spatial proximity, shared experiences, and adaptable living arrangements, the complex prioritizes connection while preserving opportunities for retreat, flexibility, and individual living.”

Congratulations again!

About their winning project La Plaça:
“La Plaça is a theater in the Poblenou neighborhood of Barcelona that organizes itself around a central plaza that functions as the heart of the building and an extension of the city. Dramatically slanted roofs echo the silhouettes of historic local factories, while the massing respects the adjacent church. Highly transparent facades allow the city itself to become part of the performance, reframing the theater as a shared civic space.”

Congratulations again!

About his winning project, CrowWorks:
“CrowWorks reimagines the University of Illinois Stock Pavilion as a crisis-response facility where humans, trained crows, and advanced machinery work together to manufacture and distribute aid packages. Designed to operate during periods of conflict, scarcity, and instability, the facility includes crow habitats, greenhouses, seed libraries, research laboratories, medicine storage, shipping docks, supply-sorting spaces, and a large assembly line hall.”

About their winning project, Teatre i Centre Civic La Nau:
“Teatre i Centre Civic La Nau is a theatre in Barcelona neighborhood Provençal del Poblenou. The theatre draws inspiration from Poblenou’s industrial past and its ongoing cultural renewal, transforming the idea of a former “nau” (warehouse) into a contemporary civic gathering place. Conceived as a welcoming third space for the neighborhood, the building blends performance, community life, and everyday activity, allowing the theater to function as both a stage for art and a living extension of Poblenou’s social fabric.”

During Hispanic Heritage Month, the Illinois School of Architecture would like to recognize and celebrate the interdisciplinary Casa Pueblo initiative.

Casa Pueblo is an environmental community organization in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico that received the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize for its advocacy in wind, solar and other renewable energy. It is currently led by Prof. Arturo Massol-Deyá, who will act as César Pelli Distinguished Visiting Lecturer at the Illinois School of Architecture between 2025-2027.

Through voluntary participation of individuals and groups, Casa Pueblo’s mission is to practice and promote the responsible use of the land’s ecosystems and resources; to educate and enlist others to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment; and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives, particularly in line with principles of radical democracy, community self-management and anti-colonialism.

During the past five years, FAA has been collaborating with Casa Pueblo through an interdisciplinary joint effort between Architecture, Sustainable Design, Landscape Architecture and Urbanism. ISoA Profs. Sara Bartumeus, Yazmín Crespo-Claudio and David Isern have accompanied several groups of students to Casa Pueblo, where they have engaged in various hands-on projects supporting our shared missions and visions.

About their project, Rot to Root:
“Rot to Root transforms a post-industrial 5-acre pier in Manhattan into a public plant sanctuary, consisting of native marshland plants growing in the rotting piles. Embracing decay as part of the site’s beauty, the plants accelerate the pier’s natural deterioration while a structurally independent, raised observation path, built entirely from reclaimed on-site steel, allows visitors to explore with minimal environmental impact.”

Congratulations again!
