The award recognizes exemplary works of contemporary architecture within ensemble settings and in relation to listed heritage buildings. It is held every four years.

In 2020, the Association of German Architects (BDA) in Bavaria has announced for the first time the regional prize »Über Oberbayern«, whose focus is on the local building tradition and the interaction between client and architect. Our conversion and extension of the Zeughaus (military building) for the Design Department of the Munich University of Applied Studies received one recognition.
