Archiprix International is an international network for young, talented architects, urban designers and landscape architects throughout the world. Biennially all universities worldwide are invited to select and submit their best graduation project.
Of all submitted graduation projects an international jury straddling a broad range of design practices and design cultures nominated 25 for an award. Out of these nominees 7 winners were selected. Many of the 287 graduation projects show, as the jury called it, a kind of 'new social consciousness' in architecture. Most problems the world has to deal with are complex and are impossible for architects to solve. What the winning projects have in common, according to the jury, is that they give a simple yet effective answer through architecture to these complex problems.
