Премия вот уже три десятилетия организуется журналом Wood Design & Building и Канадским советом по древесине. Цель – не только отметить лучшие деревянные постройки за последние четыре года, но также показать исключительные эстетические и функциональные качества дерева в строительстве, продемонстрировать новые технологии и идеи, вдохновить архитекторов и заказчиков на применение древесины как основного материала при реализации проектов.
The Wood Design & Building Awards program invites North American and International entries for 2021-22 – honouring excellence in wood architecture. The program is an opportunity to discover and celebrate the world’s best wood architecture, in diverse locations and with a wide variety of typologies.
Entries should consist of building projects that show a wide range of wood product applications and demonstrate an understanding of the special qualities of wood, such as strength, durability, beauty and cost-effectiveness.
All projects completed in the period between January 1st, 2018 and December 30th, 2021 are eligible for entry [except previous winning projects of the Wood Design & Building Awards].
A jury of prominent architects from Canada and the U.S. will review all entries based on various considerations such as creativity, appropriate use of wood materials in satisfying clients’ building and site requirements and innovative design.
