1. About us
The IS ARCH Awards are international
awards targeting students of
architecture. Our aim is to provide
a platform for debate surrounding
the architecture solutions that
students contribute within the
framework of their university
studies. The competition aims to
boost avant-garde trends and to
recognize new research that emerges
from universities. It also provides
students work with an opportunity
for international projection that
extends beyond the traditional
relationship between students
and their lecturers. The IS ARCH
Awards require an insight and
collaboration between the various
teaching and learning methodologies
for architecture adopted by
participating universities. This
cooperation creates a favourable
environment for open reflection and
comment, which is crucial in order
to move forward and progress in
architectural knowledge and know-
how. A further objective of the
IS ARCH Awards is to encourage
young people to join the debate
on architecture, contributing with
their unique vision and opinions.
The philosophy behind the IS ARCH
Awards is to support the creativity
of young and emerging talent and
to boost debate between the various
students that take part in this
initiative.
