About the competition
The THEORY Competition was a competition for the best essay on the relationship between architecture and the culture of a chosen city. It was held every two years and was aimed at young architects and architecture theorists.
Participants took part in the “Writing about architecture” workshops held at the Foundation’s headquarters, and then developed their texts under the guidance of mentors. The winning essays were published in the Foundation’s book series “The Architecture of Culture – The Culture of Architecture”.
The laureates of all editions and the published books are presented below.
