Set up in 1982 by the architect Philippe Rotthier, this triennial prize aims
to reward contemporary examples of architecture that best illustrate those
urban architectural principles on which our most beautiful European cities
were based.
The prize will be awarded for the sixth time in February 2002.
The prize is worth a total of 30,000 euros, given in one or more awards.
It is one of the rare prizes that rewards projects that consciously identify
with the traditional concept of the town or city as seen through European
eyes.
It aims to break the isolation and silence which surrounds an important part
of modern architectural production and to draw attention to work which is
often ignored by the journals and exhibitions dedicated to architecture.
Its aim is also to encourage the general public, elected representatives and
sponsors to have high standards concerning architecture and urbanism.
This prize shows that quality architecture and renovation, of which
Europeans can be rightly proud, is still possible today and that shoddy
design, like bad food, is not necessarily inevitable.
Prize-winning projects from the previous five awards have included:
a face-lift for the historic centre of Bordeaux,
the rebuilding of a whole district in the town of Fuentarrabia in the Basque
country, the expansion of the village of Gassin in Provence,
the rebuilding of Saturday Square in Frankfurt,
the expansion of a village on the Greek island of Spetses,
the creation of four housing developments in the Parma region,
the reconstruction of the area surrounding Orleans cathedral ,
the rebuilding of a street in the heart of Brussels,
not forgetting the creation of a new covered market in Bayonne, local
authority housing on the island of Mayotte, a rural school in Rumania.
Many well-known European personalities from the world of art and
architecture have sat on the various juries: amongst them the architects
Maurice Culot, Anne-Thérèse Dazelle, Abdel Wahed El-Wakil, Alberto Ferlanga,
Charles Jencks, Léon Krier, Antxon Martinez, Manfred Sunderman, Pierre
Sicard, the art historians Bruno Foucart, François Loyer and David Watkin,
the journalists and critics Dan Cruickshank, Sergio Frau and Gabriel
Lefèvre.
Entry criteria
Any project undertaken between 1998 and 2001 and which contributes in some
way to the improvement of the world of buildings, public spaces or the
landscape, is eligible for entry.
The jury will be particularly interested in work that is part of a coherent
whole, in harmony with its surroundings, integrating local and regional
details, and in general making use of durable, eco-friendly materials and
methods. They will also reward projects that make allowances for the history
of the place and the fragments that make up the whole, that are involved in
creating streets and squares, that use appropriately the local styles of
architecture and know-how.
The competition is open to all types of buildings and developments.
Restoration and conversion work will only be eligible if it includes new
additions or extensions that are in harmony with the original building.
The projects must be completed or close to completion and must not have been
started prior to January 1998.
