European Award AHI 2025

The call for the seventh edition of the European Award AHI is now open, an event that has become a benchmark for architectural heritage intervention, as evidenced by the large number of works submitted in each edition, which help shed light on the direction in which Europe is heading in this field.

This biennial event, which since 2013 has recognized the best interventions in European heritage across four categories (Built Heritage, Exterior Spaces, Urban Planning and Disclosure), will distinguish works completed between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2024 within the European geographical area. The call is open to all professionals, associations and/or institutions involved in architectural heritage and will remain open until 14 March 2025 at 24:00 (GMT+1).

The Award's international jury comprises experts with a distinguished track record. This jury will select up to 15 projects in the Built Heritage category, 10 in the Exterior Spaces category, and six projects in both the Urban Planning and Disclosure categories. All selected projects will be made public in May 2025. The winner and finalists in each category will be chosen from this selection.

After the final deliberation of the jury, which will take place in Barcelona, the winning projects will be announced in June 2025, in a public ceremony to be held for the first time in the Ceremonial Hall of the Barcelona Industrial School, an iconic work of Catalan modernism owned by Barcelona Provincial Council.

As in previous editions, two special mentions will be awarded among the submitted works: the Restoration Special Mention is awarded to the project that stands out from a technical and methodological perspective for its quality, precision and respect; meanwhile, the New European Bauhaus Special Mention is awarded to the work that prioritizes values such as sustainability, aesthetics and inclusion.
