The International VELUX Award is a biennial ideas competition for students of architecture. It invites students from all over the world to create projects investigating the role of daylight in our everyday lives. Endorsed by the UIA since 2004, the theme of each edition is “Light of Tomorrow”. The competition invites students to explore the role of daylight in architecture and inspire new thinking. It aims to encourage and challenge students of architecture as well as create a deeper understanding of this specific and ever-relevant source of energy, light and life.
The students will work on their projects in one of the two categories: ‘Daylight in buildings’ or ‘Daylight investigations’.
