International VELUX Award 2012
2012-02-16
The International VELUX Award encourages students of architecture to explore the theme of sunlight and daylight in its widest sense to create a deeper understanding of this specific and ever relevant source of light and energy. The International VELUX Award is presented every second year to promote and celebrate excellence in completed study works in any scale from small-scale components to large urban contexts or abstract concepts and experimentation.
The Award is global and open to any registered student of architecture backed by a teacher from a school of architecture. The total prize money is 30,000 Euro. The jury, comprising internationally renowned architects and other building professionals will award a number of prize winners and honourable mentions. The winners will be invited to the Award event and all projects submitted for the Award will be displayed on the Award website.
The International VELUX Award 2012 is open for registration. Registration closes 1 March 2012.
Theme:
“Light of Tomorrow” is the overall theme of the International VELUX Award. The award seeks to challenge the future of daylight in the built environment with an open-minded and experimental approach. Therefore, the Award seeks to widen the boundaries of daylight in architecture, including aesthetics, functionality, sustainability, and the interaction between buildings and environment.
The Award is not restricted to the use of VELUX products.
The Award contains no specific categories, but entries may focus on:
- Concepts with focus on sunlight as a natural source of light and energy
- The contribution of daylight to high visual quality and interior comfort that support people’s lives and living conditions
- The rethinking of daylight in urban or suburban living contexts
- The importance of sunlight and daylight for sustainable architecture that takes into account the rhythm and balance of nature
- Abstract concepts like daylight vs. artificial light, day vs. night, in vs. out etc.
