GENESIS CULTURE CITY

Just like DNA is the building unit of humans, culture is the building unit of humanity, GENESIS embraces both.

Khalil Taleeslami
Juror

A strong and ambitious proposal with a distinctive conceptual approach that combines culture, technology, and public life. Further refinement of the site-specific response and overall design resolution could strengthen the project.

Kohum Museum: Who am I, Really?

Each one of us, might have definitely come across the question: WHO AM I? (Ko-Aham=Kohum; in Sanskrit) However, always the answer turned out to be something unexpected or something that is not so relevant to the real search of tracing out our ancestral lineage. The aim here is to uncover those very ancestral links and re-discover our past-present-future!

Neighbourhood Impetus For Time-Memory And Change

Looking at the neighbourhood as a collection of events, activities and thought-objects, the idea of this project is to insert a 'pacemaker' in the ageing heart of the town which functions like a machine that runs the city while its site edges are composed of municipal ward offices overlaying with other public activities through Time, Public and Architecture.

The Caravanserai

Rethinking The World's Largest Tent City of Mina

Mohamed Al Assam
Juror

Very bold approach and concept, aspiring to optimize the visit and pilgrims services in Mina. Based on the Caravan Serai references from traditional architecture, the design output appeared rather exaggerated in scale and expected crowd management. The servicing and crowd management of the expected number of visitors for this structure will be very challenging. We appreciate the studies and research spent to solve this building structurally, prefabrication and engineering processes. However, remain doubtful about the adequacy of such a structure in the project area environment and surroundings.

Interlude

Interlude is a cultural centre that aims to collect, maintain and promote local traditions and in turn making a sustainable architecture that has almost no environmental impact, thus generating a unique cultural icon in Morocco and North Africa. Just like an interlude in music, this project aims to become a place to have a break from the routine, creating an

Grace of lutheran church

This project is a religious building designed as a Lutheran church located in Denmark. As Lutheranism is the national religion—with over 95% of the population identifying as followers—the project reflects its deep cultural and spiritual presence. Lutheran church architecture emphasizes simplicity, stripping away the ornate elements commonly found in older church styles, particularly those of Catholic tradition. Guided by the principles of the Bible and the belief in avoiding veneration of statues or images, the design avoids symbolic decorations and embraces a clean, minimal aesthetic. The Danish government designated this site for the construction of a religious facility with a seating capacity of 350 people. The program also includes a multipurpose hall for music and cultural performances, with the building remaining open 24 hours a day. The design clearly separates ceremonial functions from activity spaces. Additionally, a waterfront zone has been developed for public gatherings and community use, reinforcing the building's role as both a spiritual and cultural anchor in the area.

KAYSERI CULTURAL CENTER

Cappadocia is located in an historical region that, while an important area due to its historical background, there has yet to be an effort to create an space that celebrates the cultural value of both the Cappadocian people, but also the diverse cultural aspects that many tourists are interested in. This project is the

Claudiu IONESCU
Juror

Projects like this need a lot of work and effort put into them in order to build a strong concept that can unify an overall design. I liked that the layout was somehow organized in accordance to the buildings design, however it was very hard to read the numbers on the spaces. Good job, but it needs more work.

The project challenges the concepts of generic and iconic but imagining one in the realm of the other. It understands how external factors such as culture, nature, etc. helps in creating iconic architecture out generic forms. We delve into the process of 'Japanization' here, and position it where its inherent definition changes in the face of immigration.

The Artistory - Expandable Atmospheres

Although the design started here in our studio, it evolved based on how we imagined our ancestors would interact around a blank canvas or an empty room in the current days. Let us clarify by starting with a difficult question: “what is space?”. For us, it cannot simply be defined as a room or a group of rooms enclosed by walls or windows, neither a home nor

Nathalie ELDAN
Juror

The team expressed high sensitivity towards the specific context of the forest. The project takes in consideration the users and their needs. The simplicity of the structure and the modular elements allowing reconfiguration, expansion and evolution throughout time is pertinent . The selection of natural materials, such as wood and the choice to elevate the structure above ground to minimize its impact on the environment is remarkable. The 'Expandable Atmospheres" concept joins this sustainable approach and expresses clarity and harmony.

This is such a smart concept. We can feel the thoughts behind every little detail. I am sure the people experiencing this space would feel inspired in their own work, while at the same time resting easy that they are part of the nature, and not harming it. Congratulations!
