The Berkeley Prize undergraduate essay competition was established in the Department of Architecture at the
University of California, Berkeley to promote architecture as a social art through writing and criticism, two traditionally underrepresented aspects of the architecture curriculum. Architectural history, theory and practice are rich with concepts and realizations of building that signify architecture as a social art. In addressing the question posed by the Berkeley Prize 2003 essay competition, you will consider this legacy and its relevance to you as future architects.
PRIZE PURSE: USD$5,000. [Minimum $3,000 first prize]
For the 2003 competition, students will consider
socially important values of a city, region, country, or even the world.
