Portuguese architect José Pedro Lima has been awarded the Manuel Graça Dias Award, dst, First Work - Young Architect 2024-2025 for his project Garden Pavilion. The award ceremony will take place on April 29 at 5:00 PM at the Domingos da Silva Teixeira Auditorium in Braga. The Manuel Graça Dias Award aims to recognize and encourage the quality of architecture produced by recently trained architects, valuing creativity, good construction practices, and environmental considerations. The initiative is promoted by the Order of Architects, with the exclusive sponsorship of DST. The Garden Pavilion was highlighted by the jury – composed of architects Egas José Vieira (president), José Manuel Carvalho Araújo, and Patrícia Rocha Leite – for its consistency, balance, and maturity as a first work. The project proposes a new relationship between the main house and the garden, functioning as a foyer that extends the living room to the outside. The solution stands out for its bold use of color and the creation of an intimate and tranquil atmosphere.
