It is with great joy that I announce that the rehabilitation project of the Municipal Market of Famalicão, designed by architect Rui Mendes Ribeiro, has been honored with the prestigious International Architecture Award 2024, granted by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum for Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

This award, which celebrates innovation and excellence in architecture on a global scale, is a well-deserved recognition of the work and commitment to quality that defined this project. The market’s rehabilitation, which harmonizes modernity and tradition, is now celebrated internationally, standing out among the best contemporary architecture projects.

It was an honor to have documented this extraordinary project through photography and to have closely followed the story of this space. Congratulations to Rui Mendes Ribeiro and the entire team involved for this well-deserved achievement.
