The IAB 2021 Awards – Centennial Edition marks a new chapter in the long-standing tradition of recognizing and honoring architecture and urbanism, as promoted by the IAB and its various departments throughout its history.
In the context of the IAB’s centennial celebrations, the State Departments are aligning for the first time with the shared goal of organizing a national awards program. These awards have always aimed to identify the values, advancements, and ingenuity within the production of architecture and urbanism. Such awards have served as a snapshot of the local contexts and the specific moments in which they were held.
Aiming to expand its reach while continuing to value the diversity of initiatives and respecting the specific nuances of each context, this year’s state awards will be coordinated under equivalent categories. This approach ensures equitable conditions, allowing entries to be evaluated collectively in a national stage.
