UIA Architecture & Children is one of the working groups of the International Union of Architects. It brings together architects from around the world involved in architectural and built environment education projects designed for children, aiming at promoting this area and exchanging best practices. One of its main activities is to organize the Golden Cubes Awards every three years.
The Romanian Order of Architects organized the Golden Cubes Awards national selection in Romania. The deadline for submitting the contest materials was January 23, 2017. More information about the national selection here and on the UIA Architecture & Children website.
