The international architecture award - offered in the two categories Buildings and Urban Developments & Initiatives - aims to promote pioneering concepts and developments leading to greater humanity and sustainability in the built environment and the way it is designed. For the first time, the 2021 award also includes a Special Prize for Innovation.

About the Aedes Architecture Forum
The Aedes Architecture Forum is a world-renown independent institution and exhibition space for the international communication of contemporary architecture and urban design. Established in 1980 as the first private architecture gallery in Europe, the Aedes Architecture Forum has gained a large international partnership network, which feeds to an outstanding cultural platform for the global and public discourse of the built environment. Founded by Kristin Feireiss and Helga Retzer († 1984), Aedes is co-directed by Hans-Jürgen Commerell since 1994. As one of its kind Aedes served as a prototypical model for many architecture-museums and similar institutions established later. www.aedes-arc.de
