PHOTO EXHIBIT by Architectuur Kortrijk
In October 2025, the Kortrijk Architecture Prize will be awarded once again. This competition is a collaboration between the City of Kortrijk, the Advisory Council for Architectural Heritage Kortrijk, and the association Architectuur Kortrijk. A professional jury will analyze the submitted projects and assess them from various perspectives. Always with one goal in mind: to inspire the people of Kortrijk to appreciate high-quality, locally rooted architecture that is accessible to everyone. In doing so, we not only spotlight local architectural talent but also emphasize the impact of thoughtful architecture on daily life.
