The Faculty of Fine Arts in Altea, Alicante, part of Miguel Hernández University, and ADORAS Atelier Arquitectura have announced the launch of the First ADORAS-UMH-SIKA Sculpture Contest. Open to students and alumni of the Faculty, the initiative seeks to encourage emerging talent by inviting participants to create a sculptural piece that will be produced using 3D concrete printing technology. This collaboration offers students a unique opportunity to explore new mediums and techniques, combining art, technology, and architecture.

The winning proposal will not only receive a cash prize and the chance to complete an internship at ADORAS Atelier but will also be integrated into the design of the exclusive residential project, Allonbay Village in Villajoyosa. Allonbay Village is an urban regeneration project located in the bay of Torres Beach, Villajoyosa, and has earned Spain’s first environmental certification in the green urbanism category from the world-renowned BREEAM organization. Situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the artwork will be incorporated into one of the most iconic landscapes on the Costa Blanca, where the Barranco de Hércules and the Río Torres converge, forming a bay that embraces the Mediterranean and showcases one of the most significant Roman funeral monuments in Spain: the Tower of Hercules, erected in the 2nd century AD.
