UIA Architecture & Children Golden Cubes Awards
The UIA Architecture and Children Work Programme announces the launch of the UIA Architecture & Children Golden Cubes Awards.
Developing young people’s awareness of architecture, the city and sustainable development is an urgent and vital challenge. With access to knowledge in these areas they will be able, as adult citizens, to make their voices heard and influence the political, economic and social strategies which will shape their cities and their environment.
The UIA Architecture & Children Golden Cubes Awards will honour people and organizations that help children and young people to understand architecture. Entrants will be invited to submit entries describing activities or products designed to teach children and young people, from pre-school up to and including the age of 18, to understand architectural design and the processes by which our environment is formed.
There will be awards for Schools, Institutions, Written and Visual Media.
The UIA Architecture & Children Golden Cubes Awards process is not a ‘competition’ for which Entrants are expected to produce new projects.
Instead they are invited to present submissions relating to an activity which is currently active, or to a product produced, or an event which has taken place, at any time between 1 January 2007 and the submission deadline of 15 March 2011.
The Award Process has two phases. In the first phase each UIA National Member Section participating in the Award will organise a selection process at National level and nominate one entry for submission for the International Awards. In the second phase the UIA Architecture & Children Golden Cubes Awards International Jury will evaluate the Nominated Entries and select one in each category for an Award.
The Awards will be presented and the winning and selected entries exhibited at the 24th UIA Congress in Tokyo, September 2011.
