The judging is based on design excellence (including aesthetics, environmental, cultural and contextual considerations) and the overall originality of the project – including new, innovative technologies or creative solutions used. The projects’ practicality, and fulfillment of functional requirements, sustainability practices and overall environmental considerations of the project are also taken into account during the judging process.
The winner
Only one entry each year will receive $ 10.000, the trophy, and will be entitled to use it for commercial purposes to promote his winning. The 2nd and 3dr Prize will get a special certificate. Receiving the Michel Gelrubin Prize award is not only a significant achievement in architecture, but also ensures that the award winners will receive promotional material to publicize his achievements.
