MacCAD News: 1999 Graphisoft Prize Results Announced!
Winners of the Sixth Annual International Design Competition Awarded in Paris. Gabor Bojar, president of Graphisoft, announced the winners of the 1999 GRAPHISOFT PRIZE, an international design competition, this October 22nd. at a gala held in Paris for internationally renowned architects and artists.
"Through the Graphisoft Prize competition, Graphisoft promotes its Virtual Building* concept in architectural design and practice. The "virtual building" embodies the integration of building data through intelligent objects, powerful visualization and communication tools, and access to building information at all times. Using ArchiCAD as a design tool and virtual reality (included with ArchiCAD) as a visualization tool, entrants are challenged to create virtual architecture, drawing from cultural themes." This year's event had a record number of entrants. The distinguished jury included Jean-Pierre Cousin, technical editor of Architecture d'Aujourd' hui (France); Sarah Amelar, senior editor at Architectural Record (U.S.); Cathy Slessor, managing editor of The Architectural Review (GB); Christian Schittich, editor-in-chief of Detail (Germany); Ken Aoki, senior editor at Nikkei Architecture (Japan); with French architect Francois Soler serving as president.
Francois Soler stated, "The first two student winners this year marked a turning point in the way that we perceive space. Their work merges with the machine, without losing anything of their dreams or their spirit." First prize in the student category was a traveling fellowship for two plus $1000 cash and an ArchiCAD university version. First prize for the professional category was $2500 cash plus a $2500 discount coupon for ArchiCAD or any other Graphisoft product. For the names of the winners and more information click here.
