The young and gifted João Prates Ruivo, now working in Athens, presented his winning scheme for the UPTO35 competition. Ivo Henriques and Florencia Grieco, from Barcelona, showed the awarded renovation of their own office. Nuno Valentim amazed the audience with his cirurgical design for a jesuit chapel in Oporto, that won an ENOR award.
