Overview

This Award is a two years (2011/2013) lasting contest giving young architects and architects of tomorrow coming from the entire world the chance to present their best projects or concepts in the field of energy savings.

Description
Having gained significant experience in this field and interviewed many students, Archi-Europe came to the conclusion that the most significant award for students in architecture definitely is a top class traineeship in a leading architecture practice.
This is the reason why we asked all our members of the Jury, in the framework of the Archi-World® Academy Awards, to give the opportunity to the 12 winning students (all carefully evaluated by the Jury) to perform a traineeship in their practice for a minimum 4 months stay.
But Archi-World® Academy goes further! The 1000 best projects will benefit from a special online visibility on www.archi-europe.com allowing the work these students to be seen by our 187.000 architect members and numerous visitors!
Each member of the jury will independently select its favourite project. The student related to that project will be invited to join the architect’s team for a traineeship period of 4 to max. 6 months. The traineeship period will be agreed between the architecture practice and the student. The student will receive the same fee as the one usually granted by the local architecture practice.
