The TRANSFER Global Architecture Platform has revealed the winner of its 2019 Architecture Video Award: Luis Úrculo's intriguing unveiling of the Brazilian Embassy in Santiago, Chile, recently renovated by Ipiña + Nieto Arquitectos.

This year's TRANSFER Architecture Video Award is the first. Aimed at recognizing "the most creative and innovative short films in the field of architecture, city and landscape worldwide," it elicited over 300 videos from more than 50 countries. Úrculo's hypnotic Embajada de Brasil was named the winner, while six more short films were given honorable mentions.
