For the fourth time, the Lisbon Architecture Triennale presents the Début Award to an architect or a practice in order to celebrate their achievements and stimulate their career.

With this new edition of the Lisbon Triennale Millennium bcp Début Award we hope to support new voices and forms of architectural practice. It is open to architects under the age of 35, or any architecture office with an average age up to 35. A prize of €10,000 will be awarded to the winning architect or studio. A shortlist of 10 architects/studios will also be honourably mentioned. We will organise and promote a conference with the winner of the Début Award, which will take place in the Portuguese capital city during the opening days (September 29 to October 1, 2022).

In the past editions, the jury awarded Spanish Bonell+Dòriga (2019), Chilean Umwelt (2016) and the North American Jimenez Lai, from Spectacular Bureau (2013). We hope the award will contribute to these authors’ intellectual and professional growth at a critical and transformative stage in their careers.
