About the »best architects« Award

The »best architects« award was created in 2006 to filter out the best and most interesting architecture projects the German-speaking countries have to offer in order to present them to a broad, interested public. In 2015 the award competition was opened up to participants Europe-wide.

The award is conferred each year on completed architecture projects in the categories residential, office and administrative buildings, commercial and industrial buildings, public buildings, other buildings and interior design that are distinguished by outstanding architectural quality.

An independent jury of prominent architects awards the best architects label and the best architects in gold label for exceptional quality. The goal is to engage in a substantive discourse with the interested public and to foster architectural culture.
