design and project management
I agree with the above interpretation of DO (Dirección de Obra), which is usually translated as project management. However, proyecto, in this case, is not project or construction but design, and that is why the architect won 1st prize in the competition. It was the design that won the award, not the actual construction.

Good, I'm glad that was confirmed by your context, as sometimes people are reluctant to use design for proyecto

Comment: "Many thanks, Nikki - I came across this a couple of times more in my text and 'design' certainly seemed to make sense there."

DO= Dirección de Obra - at this end of the world at least
