FIRST PRIZE WINNER
Synthetic Natures
Miriam Loescher, Elizaveta Karpacheva, Sharon Sarfati
Austria
"Definitely feel less real and more imagined, which is a brilliant characteristic of this proposal. The immersive way of presenting it transports you into the meandering environment. Visuals are subtle but make you curious enough to search every possible detail in them. The project is rich in meaning and aesthetics."
-Andreea Felciuc
SECOND PRIZE WINNER
Bunnies in Burrowland
Yufeng Liao, Lanting Jing, Fan Zhan
China
"Almost like in Kiesler's ‘Endless House’: this tuberous-looking space, almost like an organism full of life and wonder. The spatial character looks well developed, or should I say ‘well imagined’ and definitely uses the entire creative power of the mastermind who created it. Definitely looks like a daring journey to be had at least once."
-Andreea Felciuc
"humane approach to brief, interesting interpretation and spatial resolution."
-Sunanda Satwah
THIRD PRIZE WINNER
Into the Emotion Wonderland
Mange Zou, Bingkun Liu, Miaoyan Ge
United States
"displayed almost like a playground, as an ensemble of video-game-like modules, the proposal uses a diagrammatic manner for visuals that perfectly complement the base concept."
-Andreea Felciuc
"very interesting notion, well resarched and ideated."
-Sunanda Satwah
HONOURABLE MENTION
X13 Island
King Yin Preston Chui & Man Hei Siu
"shows high skills and master of fluid design and curvature. Would appreciate the symmetry to be broken with some exceptions on the masterplan. Great work"
-Mariana Cabugueira
"A well-known and renowned aesthetic approach that has its place in a futuristic rabbit hole. Visuals and geometry promote a fluid language detached from temporality and given space. One could argue that vegetation could be the only element linking it to lived-in, tangible and immediate contexts."
-Andreea Felciuc
"interesting meshing and graphics, design intent unclear."
-Sunanda Satwah
HONOURABLE MENTION
Wonder Station
Zihan Fan & Qiyue Fu
"The lack of gravitation or orientation brings a nice hectic and chaotic geometry to life. The monochromatic look highlights the concept. It’s expressed in a very simple but effective way."
-Andreea Felciuc
"interesting concept, spatial resolution is elusive"
-Sunanda Satwah
HONOURABLE MENTION
Mood-on-no-doom
Jia Min wong, Chaer Shean Lee, Ker Neng Peh
"Linking moods with space is an intelligent approach to going down the rabbit hole. Looking like a collage of architectural elements that shift your orientation and perspective end up being a well-placed proposal in the thematic universe. "
-Andreea Felciuc
"Interesting transition from abstract intangibles into tangible realm"
-Sunanda Satwah
