The Pro Architectura prize is awarded as a prestigious official recognition by the ministry for outstanding architectural achievements of architects and designers. This year’s Pro Architectura prizes are ceremoniously handed over by dr. Sándor Pintér, Minister of Interior in the marble hall of the Ministry. In 2013 those buildings are awarded that have given high-standard responses to complex architectural issues, ranging from the treatment of our industrial heritage through the revitalization of a children’s resort dating from the socialist era to an important milestone in the rehab project of downtown Pest.
