Light of Tomorrow by our partner, VELUX, is one of the world’s largest architecture competitions for students, challenging the next generation of architects to explore the role of daylight in shaping the future of the built environment.
Last month at the UIA World Congress of Architects eight finalist teams presented their projects live to an esteemed jury of architects, designers, and educators for the title of Global Winner, along with a €4,000 award for the students and €1,000 for their supporting teacher.
Congratulations to the Global Winner!

Why the jury selected this project
The jury highlights the project’s potential to become a real living solution, where the architects go to the bottom of a problem, work it through, take advice, and turn it into something that can live and thrive in the world. It begins with a lived and valued experience and shows architecture that makes poetry out of the everyday.
