15 applications were received between 1 March and 20 August.Launched in 2011, this biennial award is designed to recognise a project backer and a best practice applied within the framework of a public architecture project within the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, that stand out due to the exemplary nature of the process implemented and/or the constancy of the approach adopted by the developer.
An independent jury met on August 30 to appoint the nominees and the winners will be announced by the Minister on October 8th .
This award is organized in partnership with the Union of Towns and Municipalities of Wallonia , the Association for the City and the municipalities of the Brussels Capital Region , the Association of Architects and the Belgian architectural journal A +.
