For the first time, the award is presented by the Daylight Academy (DLA), an international membership organisation committed to promoting daylight knowledge and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among daylight experts worldwide.
One award, two prizes
The Daylight Award celebrates both scientific research and architectural practice, connecting disciplines that are often approached in isolation. By encouraging this interdisciplinary exchange, the award aims to strengthen the holistic understanding of daylight and increase its positive impact on human health, well-being, and society at large.
- The Daylight Award for Research is given to individuals or small teams for highly original and influential advances in natural, human, or social sciences, with particular focus on the impact of daylight on health and nature, as well as its technological use for a more healthy and sustainable society.
- The Daylight Award for Architecture is awarded to architects or professionals who create architecture or urban environments that exemplify unique and innovative use of daylight, improving quality of life and contributing to societal well-being.
Each laureate, whether an individual or a team, receives a prize of €100,000.
