Ceremony has begun with the noisy drumbeat under which the huge sphere which has become subsequently the huge screen was inflated on the stage. Besides it a small orchestra played, and in breaks between rewarding the opera singers acted. All passed at full parade and on a degree of «glamour» resembled more the cinema/musical premium, than on habitual professional, during the ceremonies some times, for fun, it was said, that such pomp shows that the modern architecture moves in the category of the most important and popular arts.
The competition passed on four nominations. In a nomination « The Interior of an apartment », after long discussion the winner has been called Alexander Dolgopolov and he got a prize 10 000 $. The choice here has been complicated by features of a genre as, according to jury, « it is hard to find details which reflect character and do not overload the space simultaneously ».
The prize-winners in a nomination « The Public interior » became the winners of competition Present of Future about which we wrote earlier - young architects Alexander Fedorova and Alexey Nikolashin for the project of radio station office "Next" and "Pop-music" in Moscow which, by the way, can be seen freely in the show «Radio behind the glass» on Novinsky parkway. Thus, young authors have received two prizes for one project and became the main opening of Arhip this year.
The prize in a nomination «The Individual apartment house» handed over Idan Salahova and Totan Kuzembaev who has told, that «Arhip is a constant improvisation: he has prepared speech in a foreign language, learnt words, and the Russian architect suddenly wins » - Dmitry Gejchenko.
