Lauréats

Processus de jugement

Projects were divided into four categories: Apartment Buildings, Individual Dwellings, Public Buildings, and Renovation. Phase 1: All projects in each category were reviewed together; projects rejected by all jurors were eliminated (even one juror's vote kept a project alive). Surviving projects advanced to semifinals. Phase 2: Each juror selected preferred projects with positive stickers (no ranking). Projects with no positive votes were eliminated. Phase 3: Each juror individually ranked their top three from finalists—3 points for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd. Total scores determined final rankings. Phase 4: Jurors could recommend finalists for special recognition (Honoured) by consensus.
