What is
The Daylight Award?
The Daylight Award honors and supports daylight research and daylight in architecture.
It acknowledges and encourages scientific knowledge and practical application of daylight, which interlink disciplines that are usually addressed in separated, monocultural spheres, professional circles or practices.
The Daylight Award strives to raise a holistic understanding of daylight, and increase its positive impact on life.
The nominations for The Daylight Award 2024 are now open, and will close by 15 September 2023.
