The architecture jury of the Paulista Association of Art Critics (APCA) has just released the 2013 APCA Prize in the Frontiers of Architecture category. Shared between light designer Guilherme Bonfanti and Carlos Teixeira (Vazio S/A), the award was given by their participation in the production of the show “Bom Retiro 958 meters“, by theater company Teatro da Vertigem.
Founded in 1951 as an award for theater, in 1972 the APCA expanded the range of critics to other fields such as literature, music, visual arts, film and television. Since 2010, the APCA has also incorporated architecture, annually awarding seven categories.
The award ceremony will take place in March 2014 at the SESC Pinheiros theater, São Paulo. The jury members were Abilio Guerra, Fernando Serapião, Guilherme Wisnik, Maria Isabel Villac, Monica Junqueira de Camargo, Renato Anelli, and Nadia Somekh.
