Highlighting today’s shared culture of architecture throughout Europe
The 40 works shortlisted are examples of how architects continue to undertake the endeavours to design responsibly, ethically and environmentally. They also highlight the importance that architecture, urban planning and governance need to work together in an even stronger way to achieve long term city projects.
The jury frequently referred to “ambition” considering that architecture is an activity of public interest and must be designed ensuring high-quality living spaces and built environment for everyone. Among the 40 selected works, an important number are transnational projects, and half of the selected works are located in relatively small cities and towns.
