Houens fonds diplom


The Houens fonds diplom (literally Houens Foundation Award) is Norway's most important award for architecture. It was established in 1893 by the Norwegian merchant, businessman and philanthropist Anton Christian Houen (1823–94). It is awarded to buildings that are examples of "outstanding, independently completed works of architecture" in recognition of an architect's highest achievement. The award is made by the Norwegian Ministry of Culture on recommendations from the board of the Association of Norwegian Architects in collaboration with the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design.
