This year’s Tile of Spain Award in Architecture went to José Durán Fernández for his inventive use of ceramic tiles to literally and figuratively brighten a forsaken but busy street in Burriana. Each year this competition seeks entries that display how the traditional ceramic tile can be used in modern ways, whether is urban, exterior or interior design. This was the first year that an urban design has won the first prize. Similar to the yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz, this year’s winner shows how linked segments of yellow, blue, green, orange, purple, and red tiles can create a modern pathway between the Plaza Mayor and the Carmelite Church.
