From the FIABCI website: “FIABCI is a worldwide business networking organization for all professionals associated with the real estate industry…..FIABCI has provided access and opportunities for real estate professionals interested in gaining knowledge, sharing information and conducting international business with each other.” These are not proper architectural awards unlike the Pritzer Prize or the RIBA Awards, they are just an industry back scratching exercise and of no merit at all. In other words, they are meaningless.
