ARCHITECTURAL AWARDS
Do Architectural Awards in education matter?
They do and they can matter more.
Architecture education demands creativity and innovation; research and investigation; environmental awareness and technical competence.
It is important to recognize and appreciate these traits in architects because to find all these qualities in one place is
rare. Since everyone wants their good work to be applauded, awards are a way of recognizing the exceptional.
With this in mind, we instituted a few awards that celebrate the beauty required for excellence.

About the Awards
The Pedagogy Awards are established to honor and celebrate two young architects who followed a passion for pedagogy and chose to become either a full-time educator or a visiting faculty in Chandigarh College of Architecture (CCA). The awardees inspired the students to rise beyond their capabilities yet remain rooted in fundamentals and soar to discover new promises. The recipients established a belief in constant learning contributing to profession’s knowledge base and institutional merit.
Pedagogy Award for full-time Faculty: For a young architect who chose to become a full-time educator
demonstrating excellence in teaching.
Pedagogy Award for Visiting Faculty: For a young architect who carved out time from other professional
obligations, chose to become an educator and pursue a passion of enhancing robust learning environment.
