MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Awards

5 Feb 2013 MIPIM AR Future Project Awards Winners in 2013 11th Annual MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Awards Winners SOM’S LANDMARK ‘BREATHING TOWER’ NAMED OVERALL WINNER OF 11TH ANNUAL MIPIM AR FUTURE PROJECT AWARDS Skidmore Owings and Merrill’s ‘Breathing Tower’, a landmark 75 story building in Wujiang, China, has been awarded both the coveted Overall Winner prize and the Tall Buildings category accolade, in the eleventh annual MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Awards competition. Breathing Tower - aka Greenland Group Suzhou Center: image © SOM | MIR The Greenland Group Suzhou Center is designed to address poor air quality in Wujiang, incorporating a 30-storey tall operable window in the tower’s atrium, which invites cool air flow during summer months from the seasonal prevailing winds, and floods the interior spaces with natural light. The “lung” of the building is designed to facilitate mixed mode ventilation in the lobbies and public spaces, providing a fresh air supply source. The building is also expected to achieve 60 percent savings in energy consumption compared to a conventional high rise. The tower has been designed for a prominent location along Taihu lake in the Jiangsu Province of China. The mixed-use tower includes office, residential, retail and hotel uses. The project was selected as the Overall Winner by an independent panel of expert judges, who noted that the project demonstrates “a confident control of form and the mix of uses within. It demonstrates skilful integration within a stimulating and efficient strategy”. In addition, ‘Sanskriti’ a drawing board project in Jaipur, India by Sanjay Puri for the Arg Group received the Commended Award in the Tall Buildings category. The MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Awards uniquely celebrate un-built or incomplete design projects, and are intended to showcase fine architecture and creativity, and the response to the client development brief. The awards are well established as the main platform for celebrating exemplar architecture at the annual MIPIM property market in Cannes. Breathing Tower: image © SOM | MIR This year, architectural projects from around the world competed in a total of eleven open categories, with five additional awards decided on from among all the entries, including a Sustainability award and four Judges Special Recognition awards.

Paul Finch: Editorial Director, The Architectural Review & The Architects’ Journal, and Chair and Director of Design Council CABE, officiated over the judging panel. Paul Finch, director of the awards, said, “It’s been another impressive competition in 2013, and there have been some truly stand out projects submitted from every corner of the globe.” As with the previous year, we’ve seen huge success from architects and projects in the Middle East and Turkey, which is not only an interesting trend but also shows where some of the finest and most creative design projects are currently coming from. For Turkey in particular, this really is their year. MIPIM itself has bestowed the Country of the Year accolade on them, and their success in our awards will I’m sure form a significant part of those celebrations”.

Girrasol Building - Overall Winner of the MIPIM AR Future Project Awards in 2012: The project, which also won in the Residential Category, was selected by a panel of expert judges from among 143 entries submitted from all over the world as the overall winner of the competition. Designed by Isay Weinfeld for Idea!Zarvos, the Girrasol Building is located on the edge of Vila Madalena, a suburb of São Paolo. The building is situated between two streets with a 19 meter displacement between them, and is designed to sit harmoniously within the area’s sloping topography. The unevenly cascading levels of the building are designed to follow the existing contour of the terrain, resulting in several configurations of floor plans and layouts suitable for a variety of different living options, each offering unimpeded views of the west side of the city. The Judges said that the Girrasol Building stood out “as an example of seemingly effortless architecture which nevertheless deals with a series of difficult universal issues. The result sings.' Three other projects were Commended by the judges in the Residential category, including Cambridge Greens at Ramanujan IT City, Chennai, India by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; Royal Road affordable housing, South East London by panter hudspith architects; and Wafra Living complex, Kuwait by AGi Architects. The MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Awards, which mark their 10th anniversary this year, have this year named ten project winners across ten categories, with projects hailing from China, Turkey, Abu Dhabi, Brazil, Czech Republic, Poland and Denmark. Turkey was the most successful country this year, with no less than four winning projects all located in Istanbul, while Abu Dhabi saw two successful projects in the competition. A further 14 projects were awarded a “Highly Commended” prize. The awards programme uniquely focuses on building designs for projects awaiting construction or still on the drawing board, celebrating exemplar architectural design and impressive responses to the client brief. The awards now form the centrepiece architecture event during the annual MIPIM conference and exhibition. The judging panel was chaired by Paul Finch, Editorial Director of The Architectural Review; Roger Zogolovitch, Director AZ Urban Studios; Peter Stewart, Peter Stewart Consultancy; and Sutherland Lyall, author and critic. Paul Finch, the director of the MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Awards, said, “It’s been another great year for the awards, and some very impressive high quality projects have been submitted. It’s interesting that this year no less than four of the winning projects are intended for Istanbul, and two for Abu Dhabi. It certainly seems to be the year of the Middle East in 2012. Our overall winner is also a very impressive and imaginative residential scheme intended for a young and bohemian suburb of São Paolo. However, UK projects have also fared very well in this Olympic year, with three great commendations for projects in London.” Offices winner - Siemens Middle East Headquarters, Masdar City, Abu Dhabi: MIPIM AR Future Project Awards 2012 Winners Big Urban Projects • Winner - N+ Masterplan, Ningbo, China designed by PLP Architecture for Thee Fashion Hub • Commended – Number One Oxford Street, London by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris for Derwent London • Commended – Valencia Parque Central, Spain by Gustafson Porter (lead architect) for Sociedad Valencia Parque Central Mixed Use • Winner – Cendere Valley Urban Design Project, Istanbul, Turkey by Emre Arolat Architects for Kayader • Commended – FSIS School, State of Kuwait by AGi Architects for Fawzia Sultan Educational Company (FAWSEC) • Commended – Green School Stockholm, Sweden by 3XN Offices • Winner - Siemens Middle East Headquarters, Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, by Sheppard Robson for Siemens • Commended – Boulevard MacDonald Warehouse, Paris by Odile Decq Benoit Cornette for SNC • Commended – Louis Dreyfus Armateurs, Suresnes, France, by Atelier Zündel Cristea for Louis Dreyfus Armateurs Masterplanning • Winner – GDKP, Gedikpaşa, Istanbul, Turkey by Gokhan Avcioglu & GAD for Fatih Municipality • Commended – The Wharves Deptford, London by Hawkins\Brown for City and Provincial Properties Residential • Winner - Girrasol Building, Sao Paolo, Brazil by Isay Weinfeld for Idea!Zarvos (also Overall Winner) • Commended - Cambridge Greens at Ramanujan IT City, Chennai, India by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, LLP for Tril Infopark Limited • Commended – Royal Road affordable housing, South East London by panter hudspith architects for Sutton • Commended – Wafra Living complex, Kuwait by AGi Architects for Wafra Real Estate Co Retail and Leisure • Winner - Al Ain Stadium, Abu Dhabi by MZ architects for Al Dar Properties • Commended – Club de Loisir, Safi, Morocco by Moxon Architects Limited for OCP Group Morocco • Commended - Hongxing Macalline Flagship Store, Beijing by Nonchi Wang for Hongxing Macalline Furniture Tall Buildings • Winner – Tao Tower, Istanbul, Turkey by Suyabatmaz Demirel Architects for Tao • Commended – Taiwan Tower, Taichung, Taiwan by Moxon Architects Limited for Taichung City Government Retrofit Prize • Winner – Rope Factory Lofts, Istanbul, Turkey by Suyabatmaz Demirel Architects for Mursit Unat • Commended – Prague Market Promenade, Czech Republic by CMC Architects for Delta Center Sustainability Prize • Winner – Plus Energy Prefab House, Pila, Poland by Lech Wojtasik for ESC Sp z.o.o.

The 48,865 m2 ‘Musheireb – Heart of Doha’ scheme for developer DOHALAND comprises nine residential, office and retail buildings orientated around a central square. Designed to reverse the trend for decentralisation in the city, the scheme draws heavily on the Qatari architectural legacy with its traditional spatial hierarchies such as the majlis and internal courtyards. mossessian & partners’ design solution also includes highly adapted passive strategies for thermal comfort against the ambient conditions of Doha, incorporating deep shade created by tall narrow streets and density, deep roof overhangs and layers of decorative screens. Marking a new benchmark for sustainable architecture in the Gulf region, the scheme is targeting LEED Gold efficiency. The judges applauded the scheme for the significant attempt to create “a contemporary vernacular architecture in the Gulf. Public space is combined with extensive shading and its scale relates to everyday life”. Marking a hat trick of awards celebrating architecture in the Middle East, Denton Corker Marshall won this year’s Tall Buildings award for Cluster Complex in Dubai, a 75 level, 111,500 sq m office tower composed of four separate shafts, each with several individual office buildings clustered vertically up a 255 m high atrium. A 27 storey hotel and 21 storey apartment tower are adjacent. The judges said, “The striking and variegated forms would be in marked contrast to the general run of Dubai’s buildings. The complex as a whole embraces the idea of a mixed use neighbourhood into which this tall building seamlessly plugs.” The ninth annual international awards competition has named a total of seven project winners across eight categories selected from the hundreds of entries received, with winning projects hailing from Qatar, China, USA, UK, Dubai, Italy and France. An additional seventeen projects have been awarded a “Highly Commended” prize by the panel of judges.

A marked contrast to typical high rise alternatives.” Offices Winner – Inland Steel Building renovation, by Skidmore Owings and Merrill. Designed in 1958 by Skidmore Owings and Merrill, this landmark building is to be completely renovated by the same practice to achieve new standards of efficiency, sustainability and economy of space, through a sophisticated, modular infrastructure system.

The Land Securities scheme, which also involved Sidell Gibson as delivery architects, comprises 35,000 sqm commercial and 25,000 sqm retail space, was praised by an expert panel of judges for what has been achieve with this transformational landmark on "the most difficult site in Europe" due to its proximity to the Cathedral, and the planning requirements designed to safeguard views of St Paul's. The Judges applauded the new landmark for transforming the whole image of this part of the financial centre, providing a new focal point for visitors and city users alike. They also observed that One New Change provides a refreshing contrast to the surrounding retro-architecture, providing a successful combination of ancient and modern, praising both the developer and the planning authority for showing "great independence of mind" against pressure to submit a more historicist approach. One New Change also follows in the footsteps of London's famous "Gherkin" at 30 St Mary Axe which was awarded the "best of show" prize in 2003, marking the second time that a UK scheme has triumphed in the competition. The eighth annual international awards competition has named a total of eight category winners, with sixteen additional projects awarded a "Highly Commended" prize by the panel of judges, selected from the hundreds of entries received.

The judging panel was chaired by Paul Finch, Editorial Director of The Architectural Review; Roger Zogolovitch, Director AZ Urban Studios; Peter Stewart, Peter Stewart Consultancy; and Sutherland Lyall, author and critic. MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Awards 2010 - Category Winners Offices Winner - Günesli Tower, located in Bagcilar, Istanbul and designed by Suyabatmaz Architects. The design of this ambitious project was influenced by the location of the site on the edge of town, adjacent to a major road and the perception of the building. The judges said that this was a building with "long-life quality which would be capable of long-term occupation and reuse". The 23-floor high office block has a dichotomy of emptiness and fullness, determined by the external façade which creates internal spaces whilst enabling significant energy-saving. Regeneration and Masterplanning Winner - Nordhavnen, in Copenhagen, Denmark, designed by FXFOWLE Architects. Developed in response to an International competition by the City of Copenhagen, the brief invited entrants to set new standards for urban development. Residential Winner - Mina El Hosn' housing project in Beirut designed by LAN Architecture. Located close to the port, this 142 meter high tower will soar above the skyline whilst the building's mirrored skin will reflect images of the surrounding city. The judges were impressed by the introduction of volumetric space in this tight, regular plan and agreed that, when completed, visitors would "want to find out more about it". Tall Buildings Winner - Al-Birr Foundation Headquarters "Garden Tower", Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, designed by Perkins+Will for Al-Birr Foundation. Designed to reinterpret the typology of an urban tower, the structure is calibrated to the extreme solar exposure and heat conditions of the microclimate of Riyadh, and employs innovation in elevation and section which includes symbolic analogies to Saudi historical precedents-the minaret, the garden, and the mashrabiya. The judges said that this was an unexpected and welcome example of a high rise building which has a dynamic relationship between plan and section. Sustainability image © ISOCHROM.com, Vienna Winner - Town Town Office Tower, Vienna, Austria, designed by COOP HIMMELB(L)AU Wolf D. Prix / W. Dreibholz & Partner ZT GmbH for Immobiliendevelopment Wiener Stadtwerke BMG & Soravia Aktiengesellschaft. The Town Town Office Tower in Erdberg is the main element of a developing urban zone with a gross area of 120.000 m². The ambitious, environmentally intelligent design is intended to create an energy-active system that introduces both proven and innovative low energy consumption systems, environmental control systems and newly developed energy harvesting systems. The judges commented that the concept "posits the powering of buildings by the whole façade", praising the scheme for indicating the possibility that energy design can stimulate creative forms. Big Urban Projects Winner - Amfora Amstel, designed by Zwarts & Jansma Architects. This is a major below-ground infrastructure project in central Amsterdam. The judges applauded an intelligent use of essential elements of the city which places them underground, leaving the urban realm for its human enjoyment. Mixed Use image © Miller Hare Ltd Winner - One New Change, London, UK designed by Ateliers Jean Nouvel and Sidell Gibson Architects for Land Securities. One New Change (also the Overall Winner) comprises 35,000 sqm commercial and 25,000 sqm retail space and creates a transformational landmark close to St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London. Retail & Leisure Winner - Nebuta-no-ie Warasse, Aomori City, Japan, designed by molo Japan kk & d/dt Arch Inc and Frank la Rivière Architects Inc for City of Aomori. The Nebuta House is designed to exhibit Nebuta art (huge paper creatures, warriors and demons) during the annual August festival. A screen of twelve metre tall steel ribbons encloses an outdoor walkway, intended as a threshold between the mythical world inside and the contemporary city outside. The judges felt that Nebuta House was a joyful and elegant response to the whole idea of display, with the restraint of the frozen wrap of the architecture a perfect foil to the exuberance of the Nebuta figures inside. MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Awards - Summary Paul Finch, chair of the judging panel, comments, "We've seen another year of excellent schemes submitted from all over the world, including some that genuinely innovate in their design. Our Overall Winner is arguably on one of the most difficult development sites in Europe, and yet has managed to create a new view of St Paul's while adding a more contemporary element to the area, while our Sustainability winner has demonstrated how low energy design features can pioneer new architectural forms. However, all of our winners have been recognised for their pioneering and innovative approaches by our panel of judges." The MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Awards competition was established nine years ago to raise the bar for good quality design in the built environment, and unusually the competition was open to projects either on the drawing board or under construction. The Awards are open to Developers, funders, architects, contractors and others who can demonstrate their involvement in the submission. The Awards will be presented during a special celebratory dinner held in Cannes on 17 Mar 2010 during the MIPIM market, an event that has become one of the hot ticket evenings of MIPIM week. There will also be a permanent exhibition of all entrants on display on the London Stand, and all winning and commended schemes will be published in the official catalogue which is distributed to all registered MIPIM delegates.
