Architectural Thesis Award 2018
BRIEF
Architectural Thesis Award, the international thesis award, launched with the aim of promoting, rewarding and giving visibility to young talents in architecture.
The first edition of the Architectural Thesis Award was a great success among young talents in architecture. There were 174 participants from different nationalities with 119 projects. The winning thesis project was Between light and shadow. Architecture for blind people by Mariagiorgia Pisano. Architecture as a response to real needs. The jury has appreciated the innovation of the design process, derived from an architectural research based on a real demand, able to produce a well-constructed output, rich in space quality, generating a new relationship with the landscape. The theme of building accessibility was interpreted in an innovative way starting from the needs of the user. The design uses the boundary between light and shadow as a key-element in the space, making the light a “material” itself. The second place was awarded to Antonio Boeri with the project City in / for transition (Special Mention re-use), and the third place to Jurgis Gecys with the project Curonian spit – The identity of the landscape.
