The best works of the 9th year of the competition for students and architects under 33 were awarded on September 21, 2017, traditionally at the FOR ARCH international construction fair. Out of a total of 39 registered studies on the theme of Periphery inside and on the edge, the jury sent 11 works to the finals. The general partner CEMEX Czech Republic also awarded a prize, and the public was given a chance to vote. Selected projects will be displayed during a traveling exhibition, which started at the FOR ARCH fair.

The Young Architect Award competition gives students and emerging architects under 33 a chance to showcase their talent. The purpose is to engage authors in creating quality living environments, to bring architecture closer to the general public, and last but not least, to support public discussion about architecture. The expert jury evaluated the works based on the selection of the topic, conceptuality and contextuality of the solution, quality of architectural/urban design, contribution to the quality of the environment, sustainability, innovation, and originality of the work.
“The YAA competition is one of the first opportunities for young architects and students to test their skills and measure their strengths on an international scale. It seems that the theme of 'Periphery' is a very serious issue, which is evidenced by the relatively large number of works that respond very aptly to this problem. The awarded authors possess considerable talent and inventiveness. It is clear that part of the newly emerging architectural generation takes its mission seriously and that the quality of Czech architecture can compete in an international context,” says jury chairman Petr Stolín.

The jury decided to award the following works:
