The international competition of diploma works Archiprix has been held since 2001 among architectural universities. Only one work is accepted for the competition from each educational institution. This year, a record number of projects - 351 - were presented to the jury, and 87 countries took part. Within the framework of the competitive program, an educational program was organized for candidates who passed the preliminary selection. The experts noted that the subject matter of many of the competition works testifies to the high civil responsibility of architects; in addition, the projects showcase the building of modern design technologies. When choosing the winners, special attention was paid to objects that reflect the individuality of the authors. Detailed information about the results of the competition is presented on the official website of the award.
