International Architecture Awards – Winners

POLISH ARCHITECTS SELECT 90 NEW BUILDINGS AND URBAN PLANNING PROJECTS FROM 30 NATIONS TO WIN THE WORLD’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS 2011 INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARDS

JULY 21, 2011, Warsaw, Poland… The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and co-presented by Metropolitan Arts Press Ltd. announce ninety (90) new distinguished building projects, urban plans, and landscape architecture selected in this year’s prestigious International Architecture Awards© program for 2011.

Given the record numbers of entries this year and the widest geographic distribution of buildings worldwide, The International Architecture Awards have become a global event of an unprecedented scale—the most important barometer for the future direction of new architectural design and thinking today—celebrating, recognizing, and highlighting the world’s foremost architectural solutions for the designs of new cities, skyscrapers, corporate buildings, institutions, arts facilities, airports, private homes, industrial structures, and urban planning projects, landscape architecture, from New York to Singapore.

A full-list of winning buildings and urban planning projects can be seen at The European Centre’s website at www.europeanarch.eu.

This year, an exhibition of all 90 awarded projects (built and to be built) takes place in a special exhibition “New World Architecture” installed at Centro Cultural Recoleta (Junin 1930 (C.P. 1113) Buenos Aires during the XIII BA11 International Biennial de Arquitectura in Buenos Aires, Argentina, October 8-30, 2011.

After Argentina, the exhibition is scheduled to travel to Warsaw and inside Europe 2011-2012.

“This Awards Program,” states Christian K. Narkiewicz-Laine, Museum President, The Chicago Athenaeum, “draws important public and professional focus for the celebration and recognition of the most important key buildings produced in this decade, underscoring the highest level of imagination and inspiration of the ‘best of the best’ architectural minds practicing design today. The selected projects challenge new approaches to design that are beyond the envelope of the everyday, while providing cities with key civic buildingS that celebrate and harmonize architecture as a high art while finding answers to the complicated problems of environment, social context, improving quality of life, and sustainability.”

“The list of this year’s winning schemes is most impressive,” states Kieran Conlon, Director/COO, The European Centre, “drawn by some of the world’s most talented thinkers from large and small architectural practices around the world. The glossary of entries is a ‘Who’s Who’ in international architecture practice today.”

For the 2011 International Architecture Awards, the Museum received hundreds of submissions from design firms in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. The submissions ranged from the latest new corporate high-tech headquarters to smaller planning projects, bridges, memorials, sacred spaces, and private residences. All submitted projects were designed by architects in their respective countries of origin or abroad for both built and unbuilt projects alike, as of January 1, 2008.

This year’s jury for awards took place in Warsaw, Poland under the auspices of The Association of Polish Architects (SARP) and included some of the most influential design minds in Poland:

• Jerzy Grochulski, President, SARP., Warsaw, Poland
• Andrzej Bulanda, Bulanda Mucha Architekci Sp. z.o.o., Warsaw, Poland
• Grzegorz Stiansny, Grzegorz Stiansny Architeki, Warsaw, Poland
• Jacek Syropolski, Kurylowicz & Associates, Warsaw, Poland

The International Architecture Awards are curated and organized by Christian K. Narkiewicz-Laine, the Finnish Architecture Critic and President, The Chicago Athenaeum and assisted by Lary L. Sommers, Director of Administration/Marketing and Ioannis Karalias, Museum Vice President, The Chicago Athenaeum, and Kieran Conlon, Director/COO from the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design, and Urban Studies.

“The wide geographic distribution of these awards attests to the importance of the program,” Mr. Narkiewicz- Laine adds. “There is no one, single program that brings together the latest cutting-edge international architecture today as one cohesive universal representation or platform for American design. Our Museum is honored to provide a focus that allows an exploration and analysis for current stylistic directions and philosophical thinking that is apparent in contemporary design today.”

The 30 nations include: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Indonesia, Italy, Iran, Japan, Korea, México, the Netherlands, People’s Republic of China, Portugal, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam, and the United States.
