Gerhard Matzig receives the BDA Prize for Architectural Criticism 2018

The BDA Prize for Architectural Criticism 2018 is awarded to the managing editor of the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" and book author Gerhard Matzig.

The BDA Prize for Architectural Criticism looks back on a history of over 50 years. The prize winners have included Julius Posener, Manfred Sack, Wolfgang Pehnt and Peter Sloterdijk. The prize honours "an outstanding achievement in the field of critical debate on questions of planning and building by journalistic means", as the statutes state. The BDA's "Critics' Prize" is in a series with the two other prizes that the BDA Federal Association awards alternately: the "Great BDA Prize" and the "BDA Architecture Prize Nike".

The BDA Prize for Architectural Criticism 2018 will be awarded at a ceremony on 16 June at 4 pm at the Schmidt Theater in Hamburg. The laudatory speech will be held by Dietmar Steiner. The award ceremony is embedded in the program of the 14th BDA Day 2018 in Hamburg.
