Dean's Award FA CTU for the best student projects

The purpose of the Dean's Award is to recognize outstanding student work and achievements, to select and archive them for the purpose of documenting and presenting the results and development of the faculty, to motivate students and to increase the quality of student work.

"I am glad that we can build on the first year of the competition, which was founded last year by the Dean Emeritus, Professor Ladislav Labus. Every semester, our faculty produces approximately a thousand studio projects and countless theoretical works. The Dean's Award wants to highlight the best ones. In the previous year, these were the projects of the Czech House in Taiwan, Bubeneč Bank or Building Robotic Systems. This year, we have expanded the number of categories to include first-year and theoretical term works, and we have separated the Urbanism and Landscape Architecture categories. The composition of the jury is also new, which is only external for the studio projects, while for the theoretical projects the externalists predominate. The Dean's Award of the FA CTU is not intended to compete with the awards that already exist at the faculty, such as the Druhá kůže, which awards projects of residential buildings, or the student award Olověný Dušan. It is an institutional award that should cover the widest possible range of student work produced at the school," says Dalibor Hlaváček, the dean of the faculty.
