Six Architects in the running for the 2018 National Grand Prix of Architecture

Start
The jury for the 2018 edition, which met for the first time on 12 September last under the chairmanship of Françoise Nyssen, Minister of Culture, appointed six architects from which the winner of the Grand Prix national de l'architecture (GPNA) will be chosen.
 
Architects in the running:
- Pierre-Louis FALOCI
- Dominique LYON
- Philippe MADEC
- Philippe PROST
- Bernard QUIROT
- Corinne VEZZONI
 
The jury's decision was based on the opinions gathered through a call for proposals addressed to more than 3,000 qualified personalities (French and European architects, project owners, managers of French and European venues, French and European journalists, representatives of professional and institutional bodies), inviting them to suggest names of architects or architectural agencies likely to receive the 2018 GPNA. This online questionnaire was also relayed by the National Council of the Order of Architects to all the architects on the list.
 
During this first session, the Jury determined the criteria for the selection of the six nominated architects, including :
- The exemplarity and coherence of the professional path and architectural production ;
- Commitment to social issues, particularly environmental issues;
- The territorial and national anchoring of the commitment ;
- The programmatic diversity of the projects carried out, including housing ;
- Theoretical input in the fields of research and teaching ;
- The link between the aesthetic, ethical and constructive values of production ;
- Taking into account the uses for an everyday architecture ;
- The ability to build with what already exists and to transform it.
 
The jury will meet again on Friday 19 October next, the day of the launch of the 3rd National Architecture Days, to designate the personality who, in its opinion, deserves to be commended for his or her body of work (GPNA 2018). Françoise Nyssen will then proclaim the name of the laureate in the salons of the Ministry of Culture and present him or her with the diploma designed by Daniel Buren.
