Béal & Blanckaert Wins D'A Grand Prix for Nœux-les-Mines Supermarket Conversion
The Lille-based firm Béal & Blanckaert received the Grand Prix awarded by the specialist magazine « D'A » on Tuesday for its project to restructure a supermarket in Nœux-les-Mines. Now in its eighth year, the prize was created to spotlight projects that engage with the harsh, unadorned reality of rural territories, which the magazine describes as having been damaged by decades of neglect. The award thus positions architectural quality as a response to landscapes shaped by long-term disinvestment.
