Introducing the jury of the Dean's Award 2023

The prize is awarded by a jury for outstanding semester, diploma and scientific research projects. The aim is to present excellent student work and to reflect the quality and direction of teaching at the FA. The awards will be given in the third year of the Dean's Award in the competition categories of First Year Studio Project, Studio Project in Architecture, Urban Planning, Landscape Architecture and Design and Diploma Project. The Theoretical Term Paper and Science and Research categories will not be announced this year due to the small number of nominated works, the nominated works will be moved to the next year.

The winning works of the third year were decided by a jury consisting of the Dean of the FA CTU and six external experts.

"We have maintained the key of continuity in the jury, with Jiří Opočenský and Lucie Vogelová, who were members of the jury in 2022, and architects Peter Jurkovič and Tomáš Zdvihal, landscape architect Michal Marcinov and designer Petr Stanický again taking on the role of jurors. The discussion was a great reflection of the views of external experts on the projects being created at our faculty," says Dalibor Hlaváček, Dean of the FA
