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.
