History

The Swiss Architectural Award honors architects from all over the world whose work has made a significant contribution to contemporary architecture.

The Swiss Architectural Award was founded in 2007, is endowed with 100,000 Swiss francs and is awarded every two years to architects under the age of 50 who have completed at least three important works. Since the seventh edition (2020), the Swiss Architecture Prize has been sponsored by the Teatro dell'architettura Foundation, which inherited the BSI Architecture Foundation. The Chairman of the Teatro dell'architettura Foundation is Mario Botta. The prize is organized, awarded and sponsored by the Università della Svizzera Italiana Mendrisio.

The jury consists of the chairman Mario Botta and other architects and architecture critics from USI Mendrisio, the EPFL Lausanne and the ETH Zurich. The nominees are selected by an international advisory board made up of architects and architecture critics.
