  • David Azrieli Architecture Student Prize Winners
    Greetings from Danna Azrieli, Chairman — Azrieli Foundation Israel Dear Students, Graduates, Faculty, Architects and Architecture Enthusiasts, The David Azrieli Architecture Student Prize meets Israel’s young architects at an important milestone in their professional lives, when theory and practice converge. The Prize appraises and rewards students for their final project and their dream of making a personal imprint on the public space, the environment, society and public discourse. Over the years, the Prize has become an integral part of architecture education in Israel, with the heads of the five schools of architecture valuing it as a certificate of excellence. The final projects that made the short list are the best among the student works, and embody the extensive knowledge acquired by them during their years of study. As in previous years, this year Azrieli Foundation Canada — Israel presents generous grants to the three finalists — a first prize of 60,000 shekels, a second prize of 25,000 shekels, and a third prize of 10,000 shekels. On behalf of the Foundation, I send my thanks to this year’s panel of judges, headed by the esteemed architect Bracha Chyutin; my sister, Dr. Sharon Azrieli; architect Michael Arad; architect Yoav Meiri; and architect Gil Shenhav. DAVID AZRIELI ARCHITECTURE STUDENT PRIZE I would also like to extend a special thank you to Professor Carmela Jacoby-Volk, who advised us professionally on the competition process. The David Azrieli Prize honors and congratulates not only the winners, but all the students who submitted projects and contended for a place in the competition. I hope that this tradition will continue to inspire architecture students PAGE and the architecture community for many years to come.
