Auszeichnung für gute Bauten der Stadt Zürich is an architectural prize first established by the Zurich municipal authority together with local architects in 1945 in order to evaluate superior architectural works with especial respect to urbanism (Städtebau) built within the City of Zurich. The first awards were conferred in 1947 (for buildings of 1945-1947). The most recent competition was held in 2006 (covering 2000-2005). Over the past sixty-plus years the juried competition has been held fifteen times. Table 1 shows a list of 182 premiated works, together with client and building type. Entry has always been open to clients of any sort, whether private or public, individuals or organizations. Switzerland is a nation comprising 2,780 communes (Gemeinde), each highly autonomous. The City of Zurich, as one of these, has maintained a strongly independent local government. The architectural prize provides a vehicle for the expression and confirmation of this autonomy and its concomitant local character. Since the 1980s several local canton (Kanton ) governments in Switzerland (including Basel, Luzern, and Graubünden, as well as three other cantons in the eastern region) followed the City of Zurich and established their own architectural prizes. The prize established by the City of Zurich was the first to assess architecture in an urban context by a local government in Switzerland. As far as the authors know, there has been no precedent for such architectural evaluation pursued for more than sixty years under the strong control of a single local government anywhere in the world 1) . From an urban design standpoint two comparable longtime architectural assessment procedures are the Civic Trust Awards and the activities of CABE (Commission for Architecture and Built Environment) in the United Kingdom. The Civic Trust Awards were established in 1959 as one of the first built environment awards schemes anywhere in Europe by a non-profit organization 2) . CABE, on the other hand, was established in 1999 by as successor to the RFAC (Royal Fine Art Commission, founded in 1924). It is the government’s advisor on architecture, urban design and public space, and seeks to create consensus and inspire partnership among both public and private entities. CABE provides free information and nonbinding design reviews to local authorities and the public 3) . Both these organizations play an important role— but at a national level. In the authors' opinion, therefore, the architectural prize conferred by the City of Zurich offers a unique and unparalleled case to be studied in detail alongside overall urban development since World War II. In order to clarify the idea and methods of architectural evaluation, the prize should be examined from such aspects as jury organization, objects and assessment standards, means of decisionmaking, promotion methods and so on. As an initial step toward a study of the architectural policies of the City of Zurich, this paper aims to investigate the background of the prize’s founding (chapter 2); to establish data related to jury organization (chapter 3), building type, and other characteristics of award-winning works, as well as the expanding publicity surrounding the award scheme (chapter 4); and, by FEATURES OF JURY ORGANIZATION AND AWARD-WINNING WORKS OF A SWISS ARCHITECTURE PRIZE FOR PATRONAGE, AUSZEICHNUNG FÜR GUTE BAUTEN DER STADT ZÜRICH : An Investigation of the Idea and Methods of Architectural Evaluation Envisaged by the Zurich Municipal Authority Part 1 スイス・チューリッヒ市主催の建築賞における審査体制と受賞作品の特徴
