As a part of its policy of patronage for architecture, BNP Paribas Real Estate launched the first “BNP Paribas Prize for Young Architectural Pioneers”.

Young graduates in architecture were invited to give their ideas on “The Offices of Tomorrow”: how the workplace could be given a more human face and how the demands of sustainable development might be met.

Once a jury made up of professionals from the world of architecture and real estate development has examined the proposals, the prizes will be awarded at 17.30 on Thursday 4 December 2008 at the BNP Paribas Real Estate stand at the Salon de l’immobilier d’entreprise (SIMI – Corporate Real Estate Fair), in the Palais des Congrès in Paris. The project that wins the Prize for Young Architectural Pioneers will then be exhibited.
