Lithica Quarry of s’Hostal

Project Leader: Laetitia Sauleau Lara, Fundació Lithica - Pedreres de s’Hostal president

Jury Citation: This project demonstrates how industry can create spaces and shapes that are not present in other types of architecture. An imaginative reuse of what was once an industrial site, which has been presented and newly interpreted thanks to the intense dedication of one individual with the help of volunteers. The craft of stone-cutting by hand and industrial stone-cutting are found side-by-side and are interpreted for the audience. The integration of works of art in a quarry landscape is another important innovation and is a good example of the ways that this type of heritage can be reused.
