Detail Prize 2009

Outstanding architecture not only meets high aesthetic criteria, but also fulfils its function – right down to the last detail. Only when aesthetics and technology combine to form a whole is exceptional architecture created. DETAIL's aim and raison d'être is to present these solutions to a wider audience.

Following the large International response to the 2005 and 2007 DETAIL Prize competitions and the success of the symposium at the BAU trade fair, DETAIL, in collaboration with the Bavarian Chamber of Architects and the Association of German Architects - Bavaria (BDA Bayern e.V.), will once again award the DETAIL Prize in 2009. Prizes are awarded to buildings that feature especially well-designed, groundbreaking and technically-innovative details within an outstanding overall design.

By choosing new categories, a greater emphasis will be placed on cross-sectoral connections and interdisciplinary networking. For the first time the DETAIL Prize will be expanded to include an industrial prize and an honorary prize.

The DETAIL Prize is awarded to innovative details incorporated into outstanding overall designs. The products should not only resolve technical problems but also, and more importantly, form a significant detail and play a decisive role in the overall design.

The DETAIL Industry Prize is aimed at manufacturers and developers of innovative building products and technical solutions, as well as at architects and engineers who have made use of these products. Entrants should show how their innovative products, integrated into the overall concept of a reference building, play a distinctive role and contribute to the success of the overall design.

Only projects built to completion and finished after 1st January 2004 may be submitted for the main prize and the special prizes. The exception is the special prize for students, which recognises student projects from 1 January 2004 onwards.

The competition is open to architects, structural engineers, interior designers and landscape architects around the world who are authorised to use these professional designations. The special award for students is open to graduates and students of the corresponding fields.
