Light of Tomorrow - The International VELUX Award 2006

Students of architecture from all over the world are invited to participate in the second International VELUX Award for Students of Architecture. The award encourages students and their tutors to explore daylight in architecture.

On 1 October the second International VELUX Award for Students of Architecture opens for registrations. Students from all over the world are invited to participate and VELUX encourages them to explore daylight in architecture under the overall theme of "Light of Tomorrow".

"Our vision is to promote daylight. We want to encourage discussion on daylight and inspire students to work with daylight, not just as a design component or external factor but as an essential and inherent issue. We thereby hope to once again be able to present a pool of talents and creative ideas as inspiration for the architecture of tomorrow, thus also providing input for the context and relevancy of our products.

Furthermore, we hope that the award can give students from all parts of the world the opportunity of having their ideas evaluated and discussed by some of the world’s most respected architects," says Project manager Lone Feifer from VELUX, the international manufacturer of roof windows and skylight systems.

There are no pre-defined categories in the award, and neither is the award restricted to the usage of VELUX products. In stead the overall theme of Light of Tomorrow is open to a wide range of interpretations, exploring the boundaries of daylight in architecture as regards for instance aesthetics, functionality and sustainability.

The total prize money is 30,000 Euros, which will be given to a number of prize winners and honourable mentions among the students and the associated tutors. The jury decides the number of winners and honourable mentions, who will also receive airfare and hotel when going to the award ceremony.
