About Bauhärepräis OAI

Organised by the Ordre des architectes et des ingénieurs-conseils - OAI (Order of Architects and Consulting Engineers), the prize has been awarded every four years since 2000. It rewards private and public contracting parties who showcase architecture, engineering and town planning in the Grand Duchy through the creation of successful, high-quality projects that are born out of a bond of trust with the designers or clients.

The nine categories of the Bauhärepräis OAI cover the five professions represented by the OAI: architecture, consulting engineering, urban planning, interior design and landscape architecture or engineering.

Projects submitted to the Bauhärepräis OAI by their contracting parties (members of the Order of Architects and Consulting Engineers ) must have a connection with the Grand Duchy: either through the origin of their developer or through their presence in Luxembourg.

The jury is composed of international and national actors from the fields of politics and culture. They are chosen by the organiser.
