YTAA 2018

The Young Talent Architecture Award (YTAA) is organised in partnership with the European Association for Architectural Education (EAAE), the Architects’ Council of Europe (ACE-CAE); and World Architects, as well as the European Cultural Centre as a partner in Venice, and it is conceived as an extension of the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award in order to support the talent of recently graduated Architects, Urban Planners and Landscape Architects, who will be responsible for transforming our environment in the future.

The exhibition presents the designs of the selected projects highlighting the 8 finalists and, starting June 28th, the 4 winners. Together with images, drawings and models, other tools such as videos are used to explain graduation projects. The exhibition counts with these documents produced by the authors of the designs and is complemented with the Awards Ceremony and a debate on September 20 in which the theme of the Biennale Architettura 2018 Freespace, the main topics of the “European Year of Cultural Heritage” organized by the European Commission, and those issues which arise from the results of YTAA will be discussed by the winners, the jury members, the Future Architecture platform participants and other guests.
