Vázquez Consuegra appointed to the jury of two major national competitions.
In Madrid, the architect will participate in the selection process for the new House of Architecture project. This initiative, promoted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda, aims to consolidate a national and international benchmark for the dissemination and prestige of Spanish architecture.
Likewise, Vázquez Consuegra will be a member of the jury for the international competition for the reinterpretation of the Monument to the Fallen and its urban surroundings. This is a project of great social and urban significance that seeks to transform the current monumental complex and the Plaza de la Libertad into a new space for remembrance and community life for the city of Pamplona.
The team, comprised of Vázquez Consuegra, architect Sandro Pittini, engineering firm SBG & Partners, liturgical expert Marzio Serbo, and Sevillian artist Miki Leal, has been selected from a total of 262 participants, along with four other teams, to participate in the competition for the design and construction of the Church of Saint Bridget of Sweden in Palmarola, Rome.
The Vázquez Consuegra studio has won third prize in the International Competition for Projects for the renovation and expansion of the GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (Civic Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art) in Turin.
The competition, promoted by the Fondazione Torino Musei, aimed to redefine the GAM as a leading civic gallery for modern and contemporary art, strengthening its connection to the city and its role as an open public space.
The jury awarded first and second prize to MVRDV and Kengo Kuma & Associates Europe, respectively.

Architect Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra has been announced as the winner of the International Competition to design the new Sea Museum in the city of Trieste, Italy.
The subject of the tender launched by the council was the requalification of the most relevant element among the port warehouse ensemble of ‘Porto Vecchio’, a magnificent building called ‘Magazzino 26’ listed as building of cultural interest. It was built in 1893, with four levels and a 244 linear meters long facade, it is a beautiful example of industrial architecture, built in white Istria limestone and cast iron columns.
As he already did some years ago, when he transformed the old Genoa Arsenal into the city Sea Museum on the occasion of the celebration of Genoa as European Capital of Culture in 2004, Vazquez Consuegra will work on this distinguished building in Trieste’s ‘Porto Vecchio’ to convert it to the new seat of the Sea Museum, currently located on Campo Marzio’s street in the same city.
The creation of a new museum pole inside ‘Porto Vecchio’, together with other cultural strategies already going on in the same area, offers a real chance for the requalification of this significant port location of the city of Trieste.
The temporary consortium between Guillermo Vazquez Consuegra Architects and the Italian engineering consulting: Politecnica, Consilium, Cooprogetti, Mads & Associati, Re.Te, F. Lambertucci, M. Endrizzi and SGM Consulting, will be in charge of the project and the site work management of the new Sea Museum.
El estudio de Vázquez Consuegra ha resultado ganador del Concurso Internacional de Urbanismo para la reestructuración del área central de la estación principal de Ginebra, la Estación de ferrocarriles de Cornavin.
El jurado presidido por el arquitecto portugués Gonzalo Byrne decidió por unanimidad otorgar el primer premio al proyecto presentado por el arquitecto Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra, que junto al estudio local Frei Rezakhanlou Architectes, será por tanto, el encargado de elaborar la nueva imagen del conjunto urbano de Cornavin, una amplia zona de la ciudad suiza ubicada al borde de su centro histórico.
