Премия американского журнала ARCHITECT ежегодно отмечает достижения в области архитектуры – начиная от материалов и технологий, заканчивая реализованными проектами. Участие могут принять архитекторы, инженеры, производители материалов, исследователи и другие специалисты, имеющие отношение к архитектурному делу. Проекты должны быть реализованы не ранее 2016 года.
The R+D Awards program is open to architects, engineers, fabricators, manufacturers, researchers, faculty, and students worldwide. Full-time faculty and students are eligible to receive a discounted registration rate.
Entries must have been in active development or completed after Jan. 1, 2016 (in-progress work is acceptable). Product submissions must be currently available on the U.S. commercial market, but entrants can be located worldwide.
Awards will be judged in three categories, reflecting the different stages in the R+D process:
Prototype: For entries that are in the experimental and testing phase.
Production: For entries that are available on the commercial market.
Application: For entries that demonstrate a novel use of a technology or product.
Entries will be judged for their documented R+D methodology, impact on the building industry, and potential to advance the aesthetic, environmental, and social value of architecture. Digital technologies such as software, modeling programs, mobile apps, and analysis tools are welcomed.
