International Prize for commissioning a building is a biennial prize
that celebrates the value of the project and highlights the importance
of commissioning, which is often neglected in the discussion on
architecture, forgetting that a good quality building can be realized
only if there is a good fusion between the architect and the client of
the work.
Open to private and public clients from all over the world, the aim of
the award is to select architecture works already finished, as good
practice of the contemporary architecture research that confirms the
quality given by a fruitful collaboration between the architect and the
client.

architectural and historic heritage; use of innovative technologies and
