The Pritzker Architecture Prize is a worldwide award given every year to honor a living architect or architects whose buildings show a mix of talent, vision, and dedication, making significant contributions to people and the built environment through architecture.

سلام از موضوع تحقیقتان لذت بردم و بسیار اطلاعات با ارزشی رو ازش برداشت کردم
اما در قالب پیشنهاد برام جالب بود مسابقات معماری داخلی ( کشور ایران ) رو هم موضوع بحث قرار بدید و جوایز مطرح و آثار برگزیده را نیز تحلیل بفرمایید ، این تحقیق میتواند با هدف تحلیل پیشینه ی معماری ایران و نشان دادن راه شرکت در مسابقات به هنرجویان و دانشجویان معماری بسیار آموزنده باشد
تشکر
درود ممنون از لطف شما. هر مسابقه معماری بصورت موضوعی میتونه قابل بررسی باشه و حتما در این موضوع هم مقاله قرار خواهیم داد ?
