99 projects from 22 countries were selected to be showcased in the main exhibition “Drifting Architecture”, at the 2016 edition of East Centric Architecture Triennale.

The 2016 East Centric Arhitext Awards contest is representative for the lively architectural scene in Central and Eastern Europe searching for identity within a global contemporary approach.

The special guests of the 2016 Agora edition are Sami Rintala and Barbara Holub.

Within the triennale, the nominees present their project to the juries, in public sessions, after which the juries designate the winner of each section. The winners are announced in the Award Gala of the East Centric Arhitext Awards.

The members of the jury considered each essay independently and made an initial selection in an objective and unbiased form, which was centrally tabulated to determine eleven finalists.

The module analyzes the architectural and urban phenomenon of the region through an essay competition addressed to professionals in architecture and those in related cultural fields: philosophy, art, sociology, anthropology.
