Air Traffic Control Tower and Technical Building, Istanbul by AECOM and Pinninfarina:

The International Architecture Awards are the largest and most extensive global architecture awards program in the world,
honoring new skyscrapers, commercial buildings, urban plans, private residences, and real estate projects that achieve a
high standard of excellence in design, construction,planning, and sustainability and promote the best practice in all types
of real estate development for the private and public sectors, including new skyscrapers, high rises, corporate and
institutional buildings, commercial projects, bridges, airports, city planning, restorations and adaptive reuse, community
projects, religious and civic buildings, and interiors.

This year’s selected buildings are from 43 nations including: Angola, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, China,
Columbia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan,
Jordan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Latvia, Lebanon, Malta, Malaysia, México, Morocco, The Netherlands, New Zealand,
Norway, Republic of Singapore, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey,
Vietnam, United Kingdom, and The United States.

“The selected new buildings and urban planning projects in this year’s edition of The International Architecture Awards
demonstrate a new and growing sensitivity to true human-based design and a sympathetic approach to sustainability and
the environment,” states Christian Narkiewicz-Laine, Museum President, The Chicago Athenaeum.

“Like Alejandro Aravena ‘s theme of the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale, ‘Reporting from the Front,’ this year’s awarded
projects address critical architecture and planning concerns for advanced post-industrial cities and Third World
communities alike, in a way to imagine the possibilities for the future restoration and renovation of deteriorating downtown
cores, depressed neighborhoods, and humanistic alternatives for derelict neighborhoods. Unlike the previous decades of
modernism, this is a new, sensitive humanistic approach to present and future urban development- from mega projects to
the design of public housing and community services projects.”

“The best of today’s architecture,” Mr. Narkiewicz-Laine continues “demonstrates a new International Style that has little
to nothing to do with architectural ‘style,’ but more a genuine concern for the society that architecture serves. Unlike the
‘International Style’ of modernism, today’s International Architecture considers much broader issues: pedagogic
requirements, topographical conditions, climaticsensitive design, the size and needs of real communities, multiculturalism,
genuine respect for the cultural concerns of city and world inhabitants, the respect for the world’s limited resources, and
an advanced thinking toward a real Green Design and ecological sustainability.”

“These are the critical issues that megacities and developing societies alike face today-from urban slums, denatured
mega-cities, conflict zones, environmentally compromised ports, and rural villages far off the grid.”

“The best of today’s architecture addresses the harnessing of simple materials, structural ingenuity and unskilled labor to
bring architecture to under served communities in a simple, low-cost, low-impact, and often beautiful way.”

“These projects awarded by the Italian jury speak about invigorated cities and city centers, the creation of domestic
environments and public spaces that restore dignity to a population while offering universal space for the balanced
encounter between two apparently irreconcilable worlds. These projects are at the frontline and have worldwide
implications that challenge us in the way we see our world,” Narkiewicz-Laine concludes.
