The redevelopment of the Praça do Município in Ribeira de Pena, designed by the AXR - Arquitectura e Design studio, was awarded 3rd place in the ArchDaily Brasil Building of the Year Award 2025 — one of the most prestigious distinctions in Portuguese-language architecture.

This recognition, promoted by ArchDaily Brasil, involved over 700 nominated projects and 25,000 votes. The square stands out for its ability to reconfigure public space as a place of gathering, memory, and collective experience. A project that combines urban design with care for the human scale — now celebrated by a global community.

The project was photographed by Ivo Tavares, in a collaboration that seeks to contribute to the appreciation and visibility of Portuguese architecture, both nationally and internationally.
