Let´s talk about Excellence in Sustainable Design with AIA architect of the year and RIVA Spain – S2E22

Welcome to a very special episode of Creative Talks—where today, innovation meets impact, and design meets responsibility.

We’re exploring a powerful new chapter in architectural recognition: the launch of the RIVA Prize for Excellence in Sustainable Design, a bold initiative by RIVA Spain in partnership with AIA Miami. This prize isn’t just a celebration of beautiful buildings—it’s about rewarding architecture that responds to the climate crisis with creativity, craftsmanship, and care.

I’m thrilled to be joined by two inspiring voices. First, Borja Iglesias, CEO of RIVA Spain and co-founder of the RIVA Prize—a visionary who turned a family legacy in wood into a global commitment to quality and sustainability. And second, Claudio Salazar, Principal at RooTSDNA and recipient of the first-ever RIVA Prize, whose award-winning design proves that thoughtful renovation can be both elegant and environmentally radical.

Together, we’ll unpack how this prize came to life, what it takes to win it, and why design rooted in sustainability is the future of our cities, our homes, and our planet.

Let’s dive in.
