The jury mentioned the contribution of García de Paredes and García Pedrosa to interventions on heritage sites. Examples of this aspect of their work include the various actions undertaken on the Banco de España building on Plaza de Cibeles between 1986 and 2018, which helped recover and repurpose some overlooked areas of the building.
