The Ordos 100 project, as seen on our site, marked the first time the city of Ordos attracted international attention. The success of that project led to the development of the Ordos Prize. This prize provides an opportunity for young architects to be recognized early in their career for their intellectual rigor as demonstrated in both theoretical and built projects. The prize, sponsored by the City of Ordos in Inner Mongolia and Jiang Yuan Cultural & Creativity Development Co., Ltd, is not only the first international architecture prize from Asia, but it is also China’s sole international prize for any achievement.
More about the Ordos Prize after the break.
