An international triennial for sustainable community building
The 9th Philippe Rotthier European Prize for Architecture 2011
Over the past 30 years, the architect Philippe Rotthier has searched everywhere in Europe for new architecture that is in keeping with the spirit of a site, meets contemporary comfort requirements and respects ecology. Architecture that blends with a town and a landscape rather than destroying them; architecture that wastes neither space nor energy; architecture that maintains a dialogue with the past and with history.
