About the PrizeThe BERKELEY PRIZE Competition was established in 1998, made possible by a generous gift of JUDITH LEE STRONACH to the Department of Architecture in the College of Environmental Design at the University of California, Berkeley, U.S.A. |
New here?The BERKELEY PRIZE strives to show architects-in-training that the smallest act of building has global implications: that design can and does play a major role in the social, cultural, and psychological life of both the individual and society at large. |

2018 Essay Prize Competition
Each year, the PRIZE Committee selects a topic critical to the discussion of the social art of architecture and poses a Question based on that topic. Full-time undergraduate students enrolled in any architecture degree program or majoring in architecture throughout the world (or teams of two students, one of whom may be from another discipline) are invited to submit a 500-word Essay proposal responding to the Question. |
2018 Travel Fellowship Competition
Students: If you become a semifinalist in the Essay competition, you have the opportunity through the TRAVEL FELLOWSHIP to propose visiting a foreign locale for a hands-on research experience tied to the subject of your Essay. |

From the Dean, College of Environmental Design
August 7, 2017 On behalf of UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design, I am delighted to congratulate the Berkeley Undergraduate Prize for Architectural Design Excellence on its 20th Anniversary. I also congratulate the Berkeley Prize Committee, a large group of renowned scholars and practitioners from around the world, who are deeply dedicated to insuring that each student submission is read critically and thoughtfully reviewed. This is truly a collaborative global effort, done as a service to the goals of architectural education and as an investment in the future of architectural design. The benefits of participation in the Berkeley Prize are extraordinary, not only for those students who receive an award. Involvement in the program catalyzes all students to explore their design ethics, ideas for addressing social and environmental challenges, and hopes for the future. Throughout this process, students are encouraged to clearly articulate their professional goals and identify their personal paths forward. Not surprisingly, many have gone on to have profound impact on people and places, through their activism and practice. As an institution dedicated to the social art of architecture, the College of Environmental Design is proud to be associated with the Berkeley Prize, and to let students around the world, as well as to our own students, know about this invaluable opportunity!
