Launch of the International Competition in Architecture 2016

Every year the Jacques Rougerie Foundation - Institut de France launches an International Competition in Architecture. The three prizes of the 2016 Edition of the contest are: 

“Innovation and Architecture for the Sea” Award: € 10.000
“Innovation and Architecture for Space” Award: € 10.000
“Architecture and Sea Level Rise” Award: € 10.000
 
Architects, designers, engineers, artists and urban planners are given a unique opportunity to win one of the three prizes of the Jacques Rougerie Foundation - Institut de France by creating innovative and ambitious projects. These architectural projects based on emerging developments and a prospective vision should address some core issues of mankind: greater environmental, industrial and technical responsibilities, while taking sustainable development principles into account.
 
Encourage, stimulate and reward creativity and boldness, this is the Jacques Rougerie - Space and Sea Generation Foundation - Institut de France award’s ambition.
