The Mayor, Paulo Cunha, who considered the intervention on the built heritage, whether classified or current with value, fundamental to safeguarding of collective memory, presented the award.
The Januário Godinho Award aims at safeguarding and valuing heritage, and promoting the dissemination of the work developed by designers, builders and promoters based on good practices of building rehabilitation.
The awarding of the Honourable Mention rewards, above all, the restoration work carried out on the façade of this building. The façade is composed of a set of elements that were properly treated and, in the case of the ceramic elements, were monitored by a conservation and restoration technician. For these reasons, it was considered that this effort should be recognised and, therefore, an Honourable Mention was awarded.
Applications for the 3rd edition of the Januário Godinho Award are currently underway, with the deadline for submission expiring this June.
