Archiprix International is proud to announce the start of its tenth edition. After successful editions in 2001 in Rotterdam, 2003 in Istanbul, 2005 in Glasgow, 2007 in Shanghai, 2009 in Montevideo, 2011 in Cambrigde (USA), 2013 in Moscow, 2015 in Madrid and 2017 in Ahmedabad, Archiprix International will again stage a unique presentation of the world's best graduation projects in architecture, urban design and landscape architecture. The Archiprix International 2019 will take place in Santiago Chile. We are honoured that the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and Universidad de Chile, are our co-organisers for the 2019 edition.
All 1700 universities from more than 100 countries are invited to take part. From the start in 2001, 785 universities have already participated in one or more editions; in total we have received 2224 graduation projects. This makes Archiprix International by far the biggest competition for newly graduated architects, urban designers and landscape architects. No other competition for young talented designers displays such a broad insight into worldwide trends in education in the fields of architecture, urban design, and landscape architecture.
The best projects, selected by an international jury, will receive Hunter Douglas Awards at a special award ceremony on May 3 2019. The awards carry the name of our partner Hunter Douglas, producer of well-known brands like Luxaflex and Luxalon. The award ceremony is accompanied by a conference, a series of presentations of participating projects, and an exhibition. The designers of the best graduation projects can participate in an international design workshop the week before the award ceremony.
