With the award, grants are awarded every two years totalling 80,000 EUR (Winner: 60,000 EUR, Emerging Architect Special Mention: 20,000 EUR). The key aim is to provide recognition and critical acclaim for exceptional achievements in the field of architecture within Europe. Projects are awarded prizes whose innovative character serves as orientation, even as manifestos, for the development of contemporary architecture. The award is intended to promote the profession and as encouragement for architects at the outset of their careers. Both prizes, the main grant and the Emerging Architect grant, are awarded for exceptional achievements in conceptual, technical and structural terms. Five finalists were selected from the 420 projects nominated by European institutions and international experts in 2015 — the eminent members of the jury were ultimately most convinced by the Szczecin Philharmonic by the office of Spanish architects Fabrizio Barozzi and Alberto Veiga. The Emerging Architect Special Mention Award goes to ARQUITECTURA-G for the Casa Luz project in Cilleros, Spain. Az W Summer Party 2016 Following the opening of the exhibition “Europe’s Best Buildings” the Az W celebrates its summer party, which has become an established tradition, in the cosy courtyard of the Architekturzentrum Wien.
