AHO WORKS AWARDS is an awards ceremony that celebrates the diploma projects that have distinguished themselves at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO). The prize is awarded every semester.
The examiners from the diploma reviews, who also assess whether students have passed, nominate candidates for the prizes. A jury then evaluates the nominated projects together with the sponsors. The very best projects in each category receive a prize at a formal ceremony and celebration.
Below is an overview of all the prizes and winners this spring.
