Chapman Taylor receives two Temel Awards in Azerbaijan

Chapman Taylor is proud to announce that two of its projects in Azerbaijan have been recognised at this year’s Temel Awards, celebrating excellence in architecture and urban development across the country.

The awards were collected by Chapman Taylor Group Board Director Marcelina Zielinska. The practice’s hospital project in Fuzuli received recognition in the Public Buildings category, while the Residential Complex in Nakhchivan, currently under construction, was honoured in the Residential Buildings category.

The Temel Awards attracted significant interest across the sector, with 890 projects submitted for consideration. Following a rigorous selection process, 82 projects were shortlisted for the final stage, where they were exhibited and assessed by a jury across six award categories.

The ceremony brought together more than 400 participants, including government officials, diplomats, architects, engineers, planners, academics and industry leaders, highlighting the awards’ role in strengthening dialogue and collaboration in the field of architecture and urban development.

We are honoured to contribute to shaping the future of Azerbaijan and extend our sincere thanks to the State Committee on Urban Planning and Architecture of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Azerbaijan for their continued trust and collaboration.
