According To Architectural Theorist: But according to architectural theorist Antoine Picon: "What many designers have had in common is the belief that architectural form must express the intrinsic complexity of the invisible electronic networks and fields that surround it.
In the past few years, the academic and professional debate has focused primarily on form-making, the most obvious result of which has been those blobs, or funny shapes, that have proliferated in many architectural and urban design studios.But according to architectural theorist Antoine Picon: "What many designers have had in common is the belief that architectural form must express the intrinsic complexity of the invisible electronic networks and fields that surround it.Carlo Ratti and his colleagues and partners have taken a different course.Their mapping comes prior to any architectural endeavor.It reveals a level of complexity with which design should not even try to compete."See Also Daylight In Architectural Design:Natural daylight and sunlight have always played a determining role in architecture. Through this Award, VELUX wants to stimulate reflection and debate on the re-interpretation of daylight in architectural design today. The aim of the Award is to encourage innovation in this field and to highlight quality architectural solutions that improve the quality of living conditions and the environment. All types of buildings can be proposed, be they newly built or refurbished, facilities or housing. The focus must be on daylight, whether in architectural design concept or in research into daylight construction techniques.
The International Velux Award for Students of Architecture 2006The International Velux Award for students of Architecture wants to inspire students to discuss and work with daylight in architecture. The Award takes place every second year, the first time in 2004.In 2004, the International Velux Award invited students of architecture from 40 European countries to participate under the overall theme: Light of Tomorrow. 760 students from 194 schools in 34 countries registered. They received 258 projects from 105 schools in 27 countries, confirming the interest in daylight in urban and building contexts among students and tutors at European schools of architecture. Velux instigated this award as an essential element in the strategy to establish a long term dialogue on daylight in architecture.
On The Other Hand See International Architectural Review:On its sixth edition, the Dedalo Minosse Prize, promoted by the Associazione Liberi Architetti ALA - Assoarchitetti and the international architectural review l'ARCA, together with the sponsor Caoduro Lucernari, has already become one of the most important architectural awards in the world, with the strength of its peculiarity of being targeted at the client rather than the architect.
The ar+d award for emerging architecture is the biggest and best award for young architects in the world and gives £10 000 in prize money. Inaugurated in 1999, the award was conceived by The Architectural Review and d line international as, the distinguished Danish architectural design firm. It is supported by Buro Happold.Intended to bring wider international recognition to a talented new generation of architects and designers, last year the competition attracted more than 700 entries from nearly 60 countries, representing every inhabited continent.Awards are for built or manufactured work only, and besides buildings, the full range of design activity, from landscapes and urban spaces to furniture and cutlery can be submitted.
