Buell Center Paris Prize
Annually between 2017 and 2020, three prizes of $3,000 each were awarded to students at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation whose fall semester architectural design (MArch & AAD) studio projects most successfully complied with, interpreted, and/or critically extended the terms and spirit of the 2015 Paris Agreement. Winning proposals directly addressed the social, technical, political, and symbolic implications of the climate accord in an architecturally specific fashion, at multiple scales.
