Don't Miss the Tamayouz Excellence Award's 2019 Roundup of Award-Winning Projects [Sponsored]

Tamayouz Excellence Award is an international awards program that champions architecture by celebrating projects, individuals and institutions. With seven awards that make up its program, four are project-based, including the Rifat Chadirji Prize (a thematic competition), the Dewan Award for Architecture (a thematic competition), and two graduation project awards for international and Iraqi students of architecture. Across Tamayouz’s 2019 cycle, several projects submitted by architects from all over the world were highly recognized, particularly for its two annual thematic competitions. For both awards, the winning projects reflected their creators' understanding of context and informed responses to the programs, challenges and user needs.  The following is a roundup of seven winning projects (taken from both of Tamayouz's thematic competitions), providing an in-depth overview of the excellent work produced last year.  Despite the challenges presented by the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak, Tamayouz’s 2020 cycle is set to continue and readers can register for this year's cycle here.  Rifat Chadirji Prize The Rifat Chadirji Prize is an annual thematic competition named after the prolific Iraqi architect Dr Rifat Chadirji.
