Since February 2012, the Politecnico di Milano (Milan Polytechnic University) and the former School of Architecture and Society (now the School of Architecture, Urban Planning and Construction Engineering) has awarded a prize to the best graduation theses submitted on the subject of “Italian Architecture Projects in international contexts”.
The prize-giving takes place at the exhibition of work judged most interesting by the Selection Committee, in the “Guido Nardi” exhibition space of the Politecnico’s former School of Architecture and Society (now the School of Architecture, Urban Planning and Construction Engineering) at 2 Via Ampère, Milan, through presentation of a certificate.
