The prizes of the Jacques Rougerie Foundation – Institut de France, are given in order to offer architects, designers, engineers, and urban planners a unique opportunity to propose innovative, audacious, and disruptive projects. These architectural projects, based upon emerging technologies, a prospective vision and cross-curricular competences – science, sociology, climatology, geography, etc. – shall give answers to major environmental issues of our era and to future issues. They will have to take into account the tenets of sustainable development and to contribute to the integration of the sea and space in the development of our societies: new material such as solar tiles, new techniques, and fundamental advancement in terms of conception and building, energy saving, low consumption of natural resources, recyclability, etc.

Architectural innovation and sustainable development to respond to major climate changes are the key words in this call for creativity. Each Award is constituted by a financial contribution, but also a follow-up of the winners to further their projects, with the support from the Foundation’s network. Prizes are awarded, irrespective of age, sexe, religion, origin, to an author personally identified by his name or to a team.
