Invitation and conditions of entry to the 3rd International Prize for Textile Architecture

The Working Group for Textile Architecture will award the International Prize for Textile Architecture for the third time in 1999. This prize honors the architects and engineers of an internationally outstanding building that uses textile membranes in an innovative and future-orientated way. The aim is to promote the idea of building with textiles and to publicize the opportunities offered by modem textile architecture.

The competition is open to architects and engineers from all over the world with projects that have been completed after 1 January, 1997, or which are still under construction and are scheduled for completion in 1999.

The prize will be awarded at a ceremony during Techtextil in Frankfurt. The prizewinning building will be exhibited at a special show during the fair and presented to the international press.

The winning entry will be chosen by a jury of renowned experts. The jury's decision is final and incontestable.
