The category is addressed to all office buildings in Poland which were realised and put into operation in 2014 or 2015 excluding modernizations and developments.

An assessment of the quality of the architecture and urban planning, the uniqueness of the project, the use of the space, the effectiveness of the design in terms of the building’s functioning, and the environmental friendliness and economics of the approach taken. Architectural provision for the disabled would be an additional asset.

The award is presented to the relevant architect/architectural studio.

Registration deadline 26 August 2016. The registration is free of charge.

This category is applicable to all buildings, regardless of their new function, which have been restored to life in 2014 or 2015.

An assessment of the quality of the construction, how the historic character of the building has been retained, its new functions and its integration with the surrounding area. This is partly an ideological award for contributions towards restoring derelict buildings to their original glory. We appreciate investors’ efforts in revitalising buildings rather than opting for the easier way, i.e. the demolition of an old building to build something new on the site.

The award is presented to the relevant architect/architectural studio and investor.

Registration deadline 26 August 2016. The registration is free of charge.

This category includes projects realised in 2014 or 2015 in Poland, characterised by the particular care taken for the natural environment through limiting any negative impact upon it from the building, as well as the care taken for the health and well-being of those involved in the construction of the building and its users.

The materials and eco-friendly approach used to provide an optimal use of energy and water during the operation of the building will be taken into consideration.

The award is presented to the relevant architect/architectural studio.

Registration deadline 26 August 2016. The registration is free of charge.

This category is for workspace solutions in offices realised in Poland in 2014 or 2015.

An assessment of the interior design and optimisation of the office space, the office’s specification in terms of the profile of the company that occupies the space (an IT company’s office differs from that of a law firm), the comfort of the working conditions, and how ergonomic the furnishing is. The assessment will cover workstations, conference areas and additional relaxation areas.
The award is presented to the relevant interior designer.

Registration deadline 26 August 2016. The registration is free of charge.

The category for the best architectural and urban planning project completed in 2014 or 2015 in Poland and aimed at creating coherent and attractive public space open to the general public. The project can be public or private.

New public space as well as revitalisations, including the redevelopment of brownfield sites, are both taken into account. Examples could be indoor markets, plazas, squares and recreational areas. The evaluation will assess the manner of the management of space, how spatial coherence has been achieved, how its social functions have been realised, how the quality of life of local residents and users has been improved, how it meets environmental protection requirements, and how the project has improved the attractiveness and image of the area in the eyes of its users.

The award is presented to the relevant architect/architectural studio.

Registration deadline 26 August 2016. The registration is free of charge.
