Exhibition "RE MAKE" Wilmotte Prize
Around a reflection on ways to rethink architecture, the exhibition «RE MAKE» presents the winning projects of the 2020 W Prize dedicated to the Château de La Tour d'Aigues. For 15 years, the Wilmotte Foundation has been promoting the meeting of heritage and contemporary creation through the organization of the W Prize. Every 2 years the Foundation awards scholarships and prizes, awarded by a jury composed of both architects, artists, journalists and competent personalities. For the 9th edition of the W Prize, the Château de La Tour d'Aigues has been chosen as a new subject of study. Participants were invited to rethink the Château de la Tour d'Aigues around the theme «Wines and Gastronomy»: culinary school, workshops, wine library, tasting areas, catering, museum, greenhouses, educational gardens, etc. could be part of the programming. A true urban registry, this subject was addressed to students and young graduates of architecture schools across Europe. Of the 142 projects submitted, nine received mentions and three projects were awarded ex-aequo: «Horizon», «Grammaire d'une Cité» and «Culture des Sols, Sols des Cultures», each in their own way proposing a unique reinterpretation in the meeting between a high place of heritage and visions carrying an innovative breath for architecture, heritage and our daily life.
