At IE School of Architecture and Design, we would like to announce the 7th edition of our IE ARCHITECTURE+ PRIZE for young architects and designers. We are looking to attract top talent from around the world to take part in one of our school’s innovative and exciting master’s programs for the upcoming academic year.

All those who believe that business and design are stronger together, who graduated between 2010 and 2020 and who were ranked in the top 25% of their class, are eligible to compete for the IE ARCHITECTURE+ PRIZE. The winning entries will be awarded a scholarship towards tuition for the IE Master in Business for Architecture and Design (commencing in April 2021).

IE School of Architecture and Design is one of the leading schools in Europe, expanding the boundaries of traditional architectural and design education. That’s why we established the IE ARCHITECTURE+ PRIZE award.

Bringing together knowledge from many fields, including business, technology and management, along with critical thinking and creative approaches, we seek to empower students to prepare themselves for a changing world. IE welcomes students who seek challenges and who aspire to become leaders in the dynamic and evolving world of architecture and design.
