The Simon Architecture Prize, now in its sixth edition, is an international award that recognizes architectural work under the theme 'Living Places'. Administered by ArchDaily, the prize seeks to honor projects that demonstrate a profound understanding of how architecture shapes and is shaped by the human experience of place. It is open to architects, designers, and multidisciplinary teams from around the world, with no restriction on project location. The prize is awarded biennially and has become a significant marker of excellence in the field. While the exact prize package for the 2026 edition is not specified, the Simon Architecture Prize typically offers substantial recognition, including a monetary award and extensive media exposure through ArchDaily's global platform. Winning projects are often featured in dedicated articles, interviews, and exhibitions, providing laureates with valuable visibility among peers, critics, and potential clients. The prize also fosters a network of alumni who continue to influence architectural discourse. The curatorial vision for 'Living Places' emphasizes the intersection of architecture and lived experience. Submissions are expected to go beyond formal innovation to address how spaces are inhabited, adapted, and cherished over time. The jury looks for projects that are contextually responsive, socially engaged, and environmentally attuned. This is not a call for theoretical proposals but for realized works that have demonstrably enriched their communities and settings.
