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.
