Alberto Campo Baeza

Lyceé Français de Madrid Library, designed by architect Alberto Campo Baeza, has been awarded the 2026 Open House Ciudad Award. The Ciudad Awards recognise architecture, design and innovation as essential factors in improving citizens’ quality of life.

The ceremony took place at the Clara del Río venue in Madrid, bringing together representatives from public authorities, architects, members of the Advisory Committee, sponsors and festival partners. The event officially opened the twelfth edition of Open House Madrid. Under the slogan ‘A space to live in’, the festival will once again bring architecture closer to the public from 5 to 8 November, inviting people to discover the spaces that shape everyday life and to reflect on how we inhabit them. Among those in attendance were architects such as Juan Antonio Granero, Joaquín Vaquero, María José Piccio, María José de Blas, Rubén Picado, Juan Herreros and Cos Junquera.
