Rewarding the innovation and commitment of young talent
The Albums of Young Architects and Landscape Architects (AJAP) competition honors young professionals distinguished by their design skills, innovation and commitment to societal issues, particularly the ecological transition.
For the first time, the awards are open to architecture graduates who, while not practicing project management in their own right, are exploring other professional avenues: graphic representation, project management, contracting, scenography, cultural mediation, and more.
The winners, who come from a variety of backgrounds, illustrate this ambition to shape sustainable spaces, in a variety of contexts ranging from major metropolises to rural areas. Their work reflects a strong commitment to innovation and sustainable development.
