History

edit

The Ammodo Architecture Awards was launched in 2024 by Stichting Ammodo, a Dutch foundation that supports art, science and architecture.[2] The awards aim to "recognize and support architects and projects that address contemporary social and environmental challenges through innovative design and community engagement."[1] [3]

The inaugural edition received 240 applications from over 70 countries.[2] In November 2024, the foundation announced the first 23 recipients, who hail from 18 different countries, including Japan, Spain, India, Chile, Belgium and South Africa.[4][1]

Eligibility

edit

The inaugural edition was open to applicants worldwide, supported by ambassadors and a network of professionals in various regions. In addition to direct proposals, an Open Call was conducted to reach diverse networks through academia, related institutions, and professional bodies.[1]

The awardees are recognised in three categories: Social Architecture, Social Engagement, and Local Scale.[2] The recipients receive €150,000, €50,000, and €10,000 per project, respectively, and aim to help them support and develop their practice and new projects.[5]

The 2024 jury cycle comprised Joumana El Zein Khoury, Andrés Jaque, Anupama Kundoo, Floris Alkemade, and Mariam Kamara.[5]
