Description
The International Prize for Architectural Restoration "Fassa Bortolo Domus Restoration and Preservation", conceived and promoted in 2010 by Fassa S.r.l., owner of the "Fassa Bortolo" brand, and by the Ferrara University Department of Architecture to celebrate its twentieth anniversary, was established for the purpose of rewarding and promoting to the public at large architectural restoration works that have managed to best interpret the preservation principles shared by the scientific community, including through the use of contemporary forms of expression.
Due to the required specific business skills in this area, the Prize is aimed at identifying not only the designers but also the contractor companies that have carried out the restoration work. The prize is held annually and is divided into two sections alternated every 2 years as follows:
• entries submitted as "Built projects": designers from both the private or public sector and the restoration companies that completed the works will be awarded Gold and Silver medals;
• entries submitted as "Undergraduate, Graduate, Master, PhD and Graduate School Theses": Gold and Silver medals will be appointed to Undergraduate, Graduate, Master, PhD and Graduate School Theses considered by the jury to be award-worthy for specific aspects.
In this 2023 Nineth competition the competing category will be "Built Projects".
