EXPERTS
Jury Panel
Distinguished architects from around the world evaluate submissions with rigorous professional standards and creative insight.
01 First Place
Winner
Colours of the Mirrored
City
Andrei Dragos Ormangi, Alexandra Elena Burtea & Dana Beatrice Ponyiczky
“A playful approach for bringing a sense of the urban and outdoor environment in a well curated interior series of spaces. Even if understood as a single insertion, a bespoke urban object, it is a joyful cluster of sensory experiences, well communicated and esthetically appealing.”
-Andreea Felciuc
“-Bold, bright and striking
- beautifully presented with super diagrams
- well developed but not over-thought - my favourite
- part museum, part experience, part adult playground.”
-Lawrence Daykin
02 Second Place
Remarkable
Consciousness arises when God is silent
Bingkun Liu
“The fact that it is understood as an intervention, a singular object, which obstructs the natural space but does not delimit it from it, makes the concept of the proposal a unique approach to the idea of a museum. It is well explained, interesting and completely surprising.”
-Andreea Felciuc
“- Beautifully modeled geometry and diagrams, however its very literal -
- The maze is an overused trope unfortunately - but i like that you have chosen to perform this at a grand scale in a unique location!
- Nice geometry for the walls, although it’s very reminiscent of a project by BIG architects?”
-Lawrence Daykin
03 Third Place
Exceptional
The Museum of Feelings
Irina Cherkasskih & Ekaterina Solovets
“The concept is seductive. The attention to creating a concept for the experience of each space is an asset. From an aesthetic point of view simplicity helps to outline ideas but is not very well communicated.”
-Andreea Felciuc
“- Simple and effective - my favourite
- I like the use of very bold architectural expressions to stimulate emotions
- Personally I am a huge fan of your descriptive style, poetic and almost fictional - build on this style - its effective.
- The design isn’t very developed, but that doesn’t matter - your message is clear.”
-Lawrence Daykin
Honourable Mention
Museum of Healing
Kwan Yew Teoh, Ka Hui Lim & Meen Yee Ooi
“A coherent clustered and a well-knit concept. The premises are well argued, as is the main, key idea. A better aesthetics would help even more to communicate ideas. ”
-Andreea Felciuc
“-Lovely presentation + graphics
- considerate concept - nice take on the idea of "the senses"
- connecting people with the landscape as an idea for healing resonates with me well
- I appreciate that you have thought about shape, materials and construction etc - but you didnt feel the need to let these details overwhelm the concept presentation”.
-Lawrence Daykin
Honourable Mention
Think Out Of The Box
Wiktoria Ciszak, Karolina Kozłowska & Michalina Linkowska
“Aesthetics and concept are attractive, but the concept could have been more creative and sensory. ”
-Andreea Felciuc
“- Very cool diagrams, and i like your collage style for the visuals. But for a space which should be compelling and interesting they are a bit too monochromatic - great style though.
- I love your section diagram and like the idea of exploring these unique boxes.
- I like why you have chosen this particular shape and style.”
-Lawrence Daykin
Honourable Mention
Sensory Museum - The place of Human senses
Margarita Karaseva
Jury Comments:
“It is interesting how the project manages to capture the idea of rest and rest, of finding oneself in a dynamic way. The narrow plan of the facade succeeds in deceiving, making the surprise of the spatial amplitude even greater. The panels manage to capture the proposed atmosphere sufficiently well and descriptively. ”
-Andreea Felciuc
“-Your space is too big - I would recommend to start smaller, or try to justify the site, is it a real space?
-Some interesting concepts here, however again, too many with not enough development.
-I love the idea of a sand room, and creating a medative sand dune within architecture - pursue this?
-I understand the darkness should be medative and embracing, but your renderings are very cold.”
-Lawrence Daykin
