Schelling Architecture Prize
The Schelling Architecture Prize is an award for architecture and architectural theory in Germany.
overview
The Schelling Architecture Prize is awarded every two years to an architect or architectural office and an architectural theorist. The award is named after the German architect Erich Schelling . It was awarded for the first time in 1992 on the occasion of the establishment of the Schelling Architecture Foundation and honors both pioneering developments in architecture and significant achievements in architectural theory. The initiators of the foundation were Schelling's widow Trude Schelling-Karrer and Heinrich Klotz , the then director of the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt. In contrast to other architecture prizes, the prize can also be awarded for projects that have not been implemented. In the years 2006 to 2010, additional medals were awarded. The prize is endowed with a total of 30,000 euros.
"The purpose of the foundation is to promote and award pioneering design ideas and projects, including those that have not yet been implemented, as well as to promote and award well-founded contributions to the theory and history of architecture."
A board of trustees is appointed to find the winners. Since 2012, this jury has been proposing three architectural offices for the architecture award, which will present themselves to the public on the day of the award ceremony, and will select the winner.
It is not possible to apply for the prizes.
