    Press release 18.12.17 World-Class Architecture Competition comes to Liverpool Prix Versailles 2018 launched to inspire a sustainable city: Designs for the World Heritage Docks and a new Stadium in Liverpool The prestigious Prix Versailles competition for students of architecture around the world will focus on the city of Liverpool for 2018. The 2018 focus for the prize has today been announced in Paris, with the purpose of designing a new Stadium in Liverpool and land in the Central and Northern Docks of the World Heritage Site Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City. This is the first time that the Prix Versailles has decided to offer an award based on a particular modern city, and will set a precedent for future competitions. In partnership with the International Union of Architects, the competition will attract submissions from students at universities and schools all over the world. What is unusual about the Competition is that the projects are required to be creative, to respect the exceptional character of the sites, and to be at the cutting edge of technology and environmental performance. This competition is also supported by UNESCO - the idea to focus on Liverpool came out of recent visits to the city by UNESCO representatives, arranged by Engage Liverpool CIC, as part of a series of seminars concerned with the future of Liverpool’s endangered World Heritage Site Status. Gerry Proctor, Chair of Engage Liverpool CIC said “We are delighted to have played our part in bringing this amazing opportunity to Liverpool. The aim of the competition is to bring the best and brightest minds throughout the architectural world to support the efforts of developers and planners in Liverpool to become a world-famous city for the quality of its sustainable architecture.
