Jury

The jury is made up of a group of people representing the full range of skills and interests related to the project in question. Based on the approved selection criteria, its main role is to choose the nominees and to select and recommend the winner of the “Le Corbusier Prize” competition.

To be effective, a jury must be well constituted, i.e. both small and coherent. It must include people who are familiar with all the critical aspects of the program, so as to ensure that the winning team complies with its requirements. It’s also a good idea for the jury to include people – designers and specialists – who are known and respected by the competitors. Indeed, the presence of jury members whose professional competence is widely recognized can have a positive impact on the presentation of high-level bids and the production of quality proposals.

Composition

The composition of the jury is key to the success of the competition.Chaired in 2025 by Véronique Descharrières, Prix femme architecte 2015 France, and composed each year of five to nine “professional experts recognized in their respective fields of architecture, business, education, publishing and culture”, it deliberates early in the year before announcing the winner in the spring. The international jury will comprise a minimum of architects, an urban planner, a sociologist, an artist and the President of the Fondation Le Corbusier in Paris.

Role

1

Selection of nominees

2

Selection and designation of the winner(s)

With regard to the selection process, the aim of the jury’s deliberations should be to gradually and collectively build a consensus decision on the basis of

shared argumentation, with each member of the jury bringing his or her own area of expertise to the table.

If consensus is not possible and a vote is necessary, the jury Chairman has the casting vote in the event of a tie.
