NOTICE TO ARCHITECTS:
What housing for today and tomorrow?
Created in 2011 by architect Delphine Aboulker, the Archinovo Prize is the first architecture prize dedicated to the contemporary home in France.
Every two years, the Architecture de Collection agency organises this prize with the support of the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine, the Pavillon de l’Arsenal, the Ordre des Architectes and numerous partners.
This event is designed to promote architectural creation in the field of individual housing. It rewards the best projects in France for their architectural and environmental qualities.

Awards
A number of awards are presented at each edition:
- the Jury’s Grand Prize
- the Jury’s Special Mention
- the “Small Projects and Extensions” Trophy
- the Public Prize
- For the 2021 edition, Archinovo is also planning a “research mention” :
At a time of unprecedented health crisis in modern history, the home has emerged over the last two years as a key focus for tackling the crisis, an ambivalent place – a refuge as much as a place of confinement, a place of retreat but also of escape, of rejuvenation and communion, where we try to rebuild our horizons and a form of faith in the future. This is an opportunity for architects to change their approach to the design of our living spaces.
This year’s Archinovo Prize invites architects to present – alongside completed projects – research projects in the form of sketches, models and texts, as visions or interpretations of what individual housing is, or could be.
