“Life in Architecture” competition

Saint-Gobain as the main partner

We are pleased to announce that in celebration of its 360th anniversary, Saint-Gobain is the main sponsor of the national competition “Life in Architecture.” We are supporting the competition alongside our building brands: Saint-Gobain Glass, Glassolutions, Ecophon, Isover, Rigips, Weber, Leca, and Swisspacer. The competition, organized since 1995 by Architektura-murator magazine, is one of the most significant events in the Polish architectural community.

In the previous nine editions of the competition, over 3,000 projects have participated. The latest edition took place in 2020. The jury focuses on awarding projects that combine functionality with a positive impact on the quality of life. The evaluated buildings vary in purpose, size, and ecological context. In this way, the competition promotes the greatest achievements in architecture in Poland, while also raising public awareness of the role architecture plays in shaping the development of cities.

Competition process

Submissions to the competition will be accepted starting in mid-May. In the first phase, the jury will select the TOP 10 from each voivodeship. Then, from the regional winners, the national TOP 60 list will be created. The final selection will be made through a public vote and a closed vote by architects, with the results announced at a formal gala. During the event, the Grand Prix of the competition, as well as other awards such as the Architects’ and Public’s Laurels, will be presented.
