LAUSANNE (Architecture and Design Award) - The International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the IAKS are launching the first Architecture and Design Award for Students and Young Professionals on innovative designs and concepts for sports, leisure and recreational facilities.

Inspired by the IOC/IAKS Award (being the most important international architectural award for already existing and exemplary sports and leisure facilities), the IOC, IPC and IAKS now call on young architects and designers to dedicate their enthusiasm and imagination to create areas and spaces for active living.

This award aims at young architects and designers currently studying architecture, landscape architecture, interior design and general design, and at young professionals being in their first 2 years of their professional practice. All participants must be under the age of 30 years to participate. Eligible to enter the competition is any kind of design work which has as theme the creation of spaces and areas to be used for sports and leisure activities in the broadest sense. It is provided that the design concept targets on encouraging sports practice among the youth. By bringing sport to the youth, where they are (e.g. in an urban environment), the project should aim at creating a high sports legacy.
