Culture and commercial architecture: two domains that
are often depicted as contradictory. Indeed, commerce is associated
with utilitarian functionalism, immediacy, playing it safe, and an
impoverished style.
Whilst culture is associated with beauty, creativity
and a disinterested ideal. Naturally, this opposition is not systematic,
and there are many high quality examples of their coexistence. However,
such examples remain a rarity. The end goal of the Prix Versailles is
to alter this state of affairs by merging these opposites together. This
years’ awards recognised 9 projects from around the world with a
Special Mention for Ganjam, Bangalore, a project for which we are proud
to be associated as PMC.

Umesh Ganjam and Ms. Cecile Buhagiar of RDAI designers accepting the
