The winners of the 12th edition of the International Prize Dedalo Minosse

In the spectacular location of the Teatro Olimpico, on Friday September 16^th, the winners of the 12^th edition of the Interational Prize Dedalo Minosse for commissioning a building, of wich IQD is Media Partner were revealed.

“It’s extremely exciting and a great honour – states the directress of the Prize Marcella Gabbiani – to see how the international relevance of this event has grown through the years in spite of pandemics, wars and international economic crises. This demonstrates how architecture, just like music, is a universal language that knows no boundaries nor political barriers, through which professionals, clients and people who are into architecture from all around the world can communicate with each other and recognize themselves as the most authentic form of true beauty and quality of life.And it’s with this deeply rooted motivation that we already began planning the Italian and international tour that will expose the works awarded in this 12^th edition of the Prize in the most iconic, representative and rich in history places of the world.”

A thrilling night, that began with the awarding ceremony of the winners in a packed Teatro Olimpico. After the awarding ceremony, the Multimedia Exhibition was inaugurated in the close Palladian Basilica in front of the authorities, the winners and the public. Graphic tables, models, videos and installations will be exposed and until October 2^nd will discuss more than 60 ways of conceiving architecture: those of the clients and of the awarded architects, recommended and published by the Jury.
