Jacques Rougerie Foundation International Architecture and Innovation Competition 2026 - Académie des beaux-arts

Registration deadline: September 30, 2026

The Maison de l’architecture Île-de-France awards two annual prizes recognizing the work of students at schools in the Île-de-France region: the Graduation Project Prize and the Thesis Prize.
The 2026 edition is open to students enrolled in a Master’s 2 program during the 2025–2026 academic year.

The Architecture Economy Observatory, a collaborative body launched in 2021 by the Ministry of Culture that brings together stakeholders in the profession, has published the “Key Figures on the Architecture Economy” for the first time.

The observatory’s work is part of the National Strategy for Architecture 2025–2029, one of whose measures aims to expand knowledge of the architectural economy in all its dimensions.

• in 1st year: each student receives a back-to-school kit consisting of an artist’s bag, several squares and rulers, a notebook, a drawing board and a pencil. This basic equipment is useful from the very first week and throughout their studies.
• in 3rd year: the study trip organized by the TPCAU and STA disciplines to a European destination, which aims to to bring together lessons in design and construction. Through visits and analysis of benchmark housing projects, students acquire the knowledge and skills essential to their future profession.
• From the L1 to the M2: the purchase of materials (wood, cardboard, clay, straw, canvas, steel, etc.) to create objects designed as part of construction and computer science courses, as well as interdisciplinary educational experiments organized as intensive workshops. During practical exercises—ranging from the creation of models or prototypes to full-scale projects—students explore the fundamental principles of statics and material strength, and learn to master modeling tools and structural analysis.

ENSA Paris-la Villette and the CFA at the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (CNAM) are offering a new program starting in the 2026 academic year: the CARE Bachelor’s Degree—Coordinating and Supporting Energy-Efficiency Renovations.
