Some landscapes are designed to be seen. Others are designed to be felt. Andrew Van Egmond’s work belongs to the second category. In this edition, we gather projects that do not impose themselves on the land, but listen closely to it — through stone, grasses, weather, horizon and time. What connects them is not a repeated style, but a consistent ethic of restraint. These are landscapes shaped as much by patience as by form.

El diseño ya no se mide por lo que deslumbra, sino por lo que permanece. Esta edición especial, Premio Interceramic 2025, celebra a quienes convierten la estética en ética y la técnica en cultura; a quienes entienden el lujo como coherencia y el mate rial como responsabilidad.
