EXPERTS
Jury Panel
Distinguished architects from around the world evaluate submissions with rigorous professional standards and creative insight.
01 First Place
Winner
Lens of life
Lee Cheng Wei
"A philosophical view for a floating life."
-Nicole Cullinan
"Nice idea and execution. the only problem is the astronaut looks static, some arm movement capture and so on would have been nice. But overall, love the image!"
-Mümün Keser
"Well framed visually, with a very dystopian and artistic centre of gravity. The teats seem to be mapped well, as does the colour choice. "
-Andreea Felciuc
02 Second Place
Remarkable
Acoustic Environment
Sicheng Liu
"An acoustic interpretation of architectural imaginings.
"
-Nicole Cullinan
"The discrepancy between the warm light of the architectural object and the gloomy atmosphere is the main au. It is not a very original proposal, and the materials chosen could have been bolder. "
-Andreea Felciuc
"Awesome Image and Project! "
-Igor Neminov
"I really like the visualisation a lot. The atmosphere and the focus has been set very well! Especially the material application and the composition wise the creator has done a great job"
-Mümün Keser
03 Third Place
Exceptional
Frontier of Galapagosization
Ka Chung Lo
"Very cool design! the image could concentrate more on the structure I think and a little bit of drama and atmosphere in the image would be helpful as well"
-Mümün Keser
"A beautifully imagined holistic design that captures the circular nature of complex architectural issues facing cities."
-Nicole Cullinan
"Compositionally, it offers a valid and very interesting aesthetic. The texturing isn't the best and from a lighting standpoint it seems a bit too burnt out. "
-Andreea Felciuc
Honourable Mention
Having the meal, looking the landscape.
Xinyu Li
"A classic perspective, well textured and framed. Well balanced in terms of colour and light. "
-Andreea Felciuc
"I like the image composition a lot, the placement of the building and the persons and so on, but the persons and so on doesn't blend with the image that well... "
-Mümün Keser
"A modern interpretation of materiality."
-Nicole Cullinan
Honourable Mention
Environment is a cliche
Zhiqiang Wu
"An experiential design to address environmental evolution."
-Nicole Cullinan
"The drama has been captured very well. Quality wise, there may be some issues, but it is not so much of major ones. Some sort of depth of field would have been much appreciated and the focus on the building could have been dialed up more."
-Mümün Keser
"The post-apocalyptic atmosphere is what gives it an air of originality. The way it is visually composed, as well as the textures could have been better mapped and contrasted. "
-Andreea Felciuc
Honourable Mention
Filipe Alvarez & Santiago Bonilla
"A thoughtful exploration of the role monument narrates in architecture and how that intertwines with nature."
-Nicole Cullinan
"I like the sci-fi aesthetics and also the composition. but some trees are flying , the lighting situation is also a little bit confusing and material application could have been made better as well."
-Mümün Keser
