The world’s most significant competition for sustainable design has announced its jury panel of nine experts headed by Nirmal Kishnani, Professor of Architecture, School of Design & Environment, at the National University of Singapore. In Asia Pacific, the jury also includes Chanasit Cholasuek, co-founder of stu/D/O Architects (Thailand); Christopher Lee, co-founder & principal, Serie Architects (London, Mumbai, Singapore and Beijing); Nondita Correa Mehrotra, principal at RMA Architects (India); Richard Hassell, co-founder of WOHA (Singapore); and Erwin Viray, Head of the Architecture Sustainable Design Pillar at the Singapore University of Technology & Design (Singapore).
The Awards seek real projects as well as bold ideas that combine sustainable construction solutions with architectural excellence. Submissions will be ranked using the five “target issues” for sustainable construction: innovation and transferability (progress), ethical standards and social inclusion (people), resource and environmental performance (planet), economic viability and compatibility (prosperity), and contextual and aesthetic impact (place). The competition offers a total of USD 2 million in prize money and is open for entries until February 25, 2020.
