This is the first international competition sponsored by forum 8 related
to new visualization technologies. In particular, the use the BIM and VR
were of high interest in this new competition. The jury appreciated all
projects as they all exhibited so many diverse and fresh ideas coming from
all over the world. We appreciate your interest in this competition.
Given the diverse uses of the tools as well as the multitude of design
approaches, the jury had a heated discussion in its effort to choose a
winning entry. One of the points discussed in the jury process was the
difference in impression of a project when viewed as a 2D versus as in
VR. This had a special weight in the understanding and appreciation of
the projects. So, for the future it is good to not only show the VR but
also the real world situation in which the project applies to. All of the
awards are of high level and we can say that they all have the possibility
of getting the grand prix especially entry number 40 OASIS and entry number
04 AMOEBA. Both remained final competitors in the debate and that directed
the discussion of the jury towards the potential implementation of VR in
architecture.
As a result, today, number 40 OASIS got the Grand Prix award because they
had a diverse point of view, used a range of tools, and developed a realistic
idea. On the other hand they had some criticism concerning their architectural
solution. It did not display any uniqueness or formal qualities that would
justify its architectural dimension. Rather the formal solution was rather
conservative and ordinary. Compared to the movable structure of the entry
04, the jury felt that while AMOEBA used less tools and exhibited structural
and pedestrian problems, it did have a seminal idea as it exhibited the
notion of time throughout an architectural structure. The jury felt that
motion and kinetics are of paramount importance for the future of architecture
and could address issues of flexibility, adjustability, and plasticity.
In addition, four more projects did catch the attention of the jury. Shibuya
Sky Way received the Civil Design Award for its innovative idea of connecting
two antithetical sides of Shibuya. By connecting the two sides they were
able to unify Shibuya as a neighborhood as opposed to a railway station.
B-Site project was awarded the Enorasis award because of its formal qualities
related to the use of wind as a feedback guide. Tokyo 2020 received an
Environmental Design and Information Technology award for exhibiting the
city of Tokyo in its Olympic competition. Also, its use of lighting colors
was of great importance as it addressed the issues of nightscape. Finally,
Hatching the Future received the Best Rendez-vou Place Award for its organic
form and comfort for the pedestrians.
On behalf of the Jury for the Virtual Design World Cup we would like to
congratulate all entries for their wonderful, seminal, and important work.
