Bavarian architecture award
The Bavarian Architecture Prize was awarded for the first time in 2007 and is intended to honor personalities who have made a great contribution to the building culture in Bavaria . The price is not tied to the realization of a specific building project, but can also be awarded for it.
The Bavarian Chamber of Architects , the legal professional representation of all architects, interior designers, landscape architects and urban planners in the Free State, is the host of the Bavarian Architecture Prize . Individual, particularly outstanding achievements can also be awarded the “State Prize for Architecture” by the Bavarian State Government .
The Chamber of Architects and the Free State want to use the award to pay tribute to building culture issues in a broad way and to increase public awareness of the built environment. The prize is awarded to up to three personalities every two years (usually). Each of the three awards is endowed with 10,000 euros.
All natural and legal persons who have their place of residence or their branch in the Free State of Bavaria are entitled to make proposals. Self-applications are not possible. The award winners are selected by a constantly established, independent board of trustees that constantly monitors the building culture in Bavaria. It includes personalities from public life who are themselves cultural workers or who have developed a special relationship to culture - and thus also to building culture - as part of their professional activity.
