International VELUX Award For Students Of Architecture
The International VELUX Award challenges students of architecture to explore the theme of sunlight and daylight in its widest sense to create a deeper understanding of the specific and ever-relevant source of light and energy. The Award is biennial and was presented for the first time in 2004.
The Award celebrates and promotes excellence in completed study works in any scale from a small scale component to large urban contexts or abstract concepts and experimentation. The Award is presented by VELUX in close cooperation with International Union of Architects (UIA) and the European Association for Architectural Education (EAAE).

Famous quotes containing the words award, students and/or architecture:
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“A complacent old Don of Divinity
Used to boast of his daughter’s virginity:
“They must have been dawdlin’,
The students of Magdalen—
It couldn’t have happened at Trinity.””
—Anonymous.
“The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
