Students of the Institute of Architecture received a prestigious award in the international architectural competition Green Learning Spaces – Rural School Design 2024.

The Green Learning Spaces – Rural School Design 2024 competition, organized by Archiol Competitions, became a call to transform the way we think about education in rural areas. Architects and designers from around the world were invited to design schools that are not merely buildings, but living connections between people, the landscape, and the future. It was not just about architecture – it was about a vision of learning environments that seamlessly blend with nature, support local communities, and nurture the potential of young minds.

The designs were expected to be not only functional and resource-efficient, but also inspiring, inclusive, and deeply rooted in the local context. The competition demonstrated that education and sustainability can form a powerful and beautiful partnership.

The students – now graduates – engaged with this theme within their pre-diploma projects under the guidance of Associate Professor Juraj Dulenčin, Ph.D., achieving outstanding success. Natálie Jendrulková won 1st place, while Jan Malý and Anna Bretterová received Honorable Mentions.
