A New Chapter in
Architectural Excellence
The European Architecture Design Award™ was created to recognise outstanding achievement in architecture and the built environment. From residential and cultural projects to public spaces and urban developments, the EADA honours work that demonstrates strong design thinking, spatial quality, innovation, and sustainability.
Organised by the Farmani Group — established in 1985 and the force behind the International Design Awards, EPDA, Lucie Awards, and Prix de la Photographie Paris — the EADA brings the same standards of global excellence to the world of architecture.
