ORGANISER

The BigMat International Group, with headquarters in Paris and operating out of seven European countries (Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain), is proud to announce the latest BigMat International Architecture Award.

The group was founded in 1981 in a bid to improve and streamline the distribution of construction materials by bringing independent businesses under the umbrella of an association. The BigMat Architecture Award originated in Spain back in 2005 and following three back-to-back national editions, it evolved into an international event garnering overwhelming levels of interest. The first international edition of the award took place in 2013 and the winner, Belgian architect Xaveer de Geyter, was announced at the final award ceremony held in Granada. Spanish architect Alberto Campo Baeza was proclaimed the winner of the second edition of the event held in Berlin in 2015. The third edition was held in 2017 in the Italian city of Florence, with French architects Anne Lacaton & Jean-Philippe Vassal emerging triumphant. The fourth edition was held in the French city of Bordeaux in 2019 and was won by Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto de Moura. In the fifth edition, held in Paris in 2021, Belgian architect Xaveer de Geyter was once again proclaimed the winner. The sixth edition, in 2023, was won by Spanish architects Ramón Pico and F. Javier López (Estudio ACTA) in the general category and by Portuguese architects Hugo Ferreira and Nuno Melo Sousa in the small-scale residential architecture category, with the awards ceremony taking place in the Spanish city of Seville.

In the upcoming 2025 edition, the awards ceremony will coincide with the BigMat International Group’s annual congress to be held in the European city of Warsaw on Friday, 7 November 2025.

SPIRIT OF THE AWARD

The award provides recognition and international exposure for outstanding works of architecture—of any size or category—to have made a telling contribution to contemporary architectural culture in Belgium, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, France, Italy, Portugal and Spain. To mark the 20th anniversary of the award since its first edition at BigMat Iberia, this latest edition will feature a new special category for those projects to have been developed in recent years by builders and architects working alongside BigMat distribution centres. This new award has been named the Proximity Architecture Award.

ELEGIBILITY

To be eligible for the award, the project must have been built in one or other of the participating countries between the following dates:

  • For the Architecture category: between 1 January 2021 and 1 January 2025
  • For the Proximity Architecture category: between 1 January 2016 and 1 January 2025

 

Buildings that won an award in previous editions of this competition may not be entered again into this seventh edition.

Moreover, architects or architectural firms that have won the BigMat Grand Prize in previous editions will not be eligible to enter the BMIAA again.

The BigMat International Architecture Award is aimed exclusively at architects based in one or other of the seven participating countries. The works submitted must have been built in the same country. When a project is entered, it will be assigned to the country in which the architect responsible for the project is based, which must also be the country where the work of architecture was built. If the project was created by several architects working out of different countries, it should be entered by the architect based in the country where the project was built.

Architects may enter as many works as they see fit, but must enter each one individually. In the case of joint works, at least one of the creators must meet the above requirements. Each architect must validate their entry by choosing either “Architecture” or “Proximity Architecture”, without these options being mutually exclusive.

AWARDS

The panel will award a total of fourteen (14) BMIAA’25 National Awards: seven in the Architecture category and seven in the Proximity Architecture category, one for each participating country. The winning projects in each category will compete for the two BMIAA’25 Grand Prizes, namely the Grand Prize for Architecture and the Grand Prize for Proximity Architecture, each worth 30,000 euros.
