●Background of the Award
Nikken Sekkei, in partnership with the local architectural firm Pascal-Audio Arquitectes, participated in an international design competition for the renovation of “Camp Nou,” the home stadium of the Barcelona-based global soccer club FC Barcelona, and was selected as the designer on March 8 of this year.
In receiving this award, the innovative efforts that led to the creation of a design proposal—described by the jury of the New Camp Nou Competition as “open, elegant, serene, timeless, Mediterranean, and democratic”—were recognized as a significant achievement.
Along with Kamei, the award was also presented to Carme Ruscadia, the female chef at “San Pau,” a Spanish restaurant at Coredo Nihonbashi that holds three Michelin stars.
