The National School of Architecture of Montpellier and Claude Parent Archives launch the first edition of the Claude Parent Prize for transgressive architecture.

 

Inspired by Claude Parent‘s constant will to question architecture in its foundations, to research and experiment with an alternative architectural scenario, this international prize aims to reward an architect or team whose architectural practice and philosophy demonstrate a desire to rethink architecture in a transgressive, critical or pioneering manner.

 

It will also allow architecture students to attend demanding debates, to better understand the work of Claude Parent, that of the winners, the members of the jury, and above all to become aware of the need, today, to explore and propose new transgressions.

 

Entries may be submitted by an architect or a multidisciplinary team. Multidisciplinary teams must include at least one architect to enter. Whether the teams are multi-disciplinary or not, the architect alone is responsible for the entry.

 

Opening date for applications: January 1, 2024

Closing date for applications: March 15, 2024

Jury deliberation: April 29, 2024

Award ceremony: April 30, 2024 at 6 p.m after a symposium
