TONGJI UNIVERSITY, CAUP, SHANGHAI 2007: After successful editions in 2001 in Rotterdam, 2003 in Istanbul and 2005 in Glasgow, Archiprix International will again stage a unique presentation of the world's best graduation projects in the fields of architecture, urban design and landscape architecture. Archiprix International 2007 takes place in April 2007 in Shanghai.
This fourth edition will be hosted and co-organised by the Tongji University, College of Architecture and Urban Planning.
Over 1200 faculties from more than 100 countries have been invited to take part. This makes Archiprix International by far the biggest competition for recently graduated architects, urban designers and landscape architects. No other competition for young talented designers displays such a broad insight in world-wide trends in education and the fields of architecture, urban design and landscape architecture in general.
Until September 15th of this year the selected graduates can submit their projects.
In autumn all entries will be reviewed by an international jury and from the middle of April the entries are on display in the CAUP Tongji University, Shanghai.
HUNTER DOUGLAS AWARDS: On April 20 2007 the best projects will receive the Hunter Douglas Awards, during a special award ceremony in Shanghai. The awards carry the name of our partner Hunter Douglas, producer of well known brands like Luxaflex and Luxalon.
The award ceremony in Shanghai is accompanied by a conference, a series of presentations of participating projects, and an exhibition. The designers of the best graduation projects can also participate in an international design workshop the week before the award ceremony.
WEB PRESENTATIONS: The Archiprix website will display a growing web presentation of the submitted projects. This website also contains a presentation of the projects submitted for the 2001, 2003 and 2005 editions and the world's largest database of universities and colleges teaching architecture, urban design and landscape architecture.
