2007 KENNETH F. BROWN ARCHITECTURE DESIGN AWARD WINNERS
The prize for the 2007 Kenneth F. Brown Architecture Design Award is being shared by two projects, both schools, one in Bangladesh and another in Japan. Nine other projects received Honorable Mentions. The jury for the 2007 Awards was impressed by the diversity and sheer volume of projects submitted throughout the Asia-Pacific region, as well as by the geographic range these projects represented. Many solutions invested quality building programs with creative and appropriate solutions, but a significant number managed to bring strong design to modest programs—always a design challenge. It was exciting for the jurors to discover that Asia-Pacific architecture is about to produce a new generation promoting the development of a new age.
Among the two top winners that share the $25,000 prize money, the school in Bangladesh, or described by the architects Anna Heringer and Eike Roswag (Heringer-Roswag Cooperation) from Austria as School -Handmade in Bangladesh, is a cooperative effort that produced a joyous, personality-filled school with the simplest means and materials in a village in the northern part of the country. Adhering to a creative design, volunteers literally formed the structure from materials at hand, including earth and bamboo, then adorned the structure with matting and colorful saris. This project embodied human sustainability and ecology in its highest forms, and conveyed the essence of modern beauty and nature of the site using the region’s materials.
The Meghna Residence, in Dhaka (Bangladesh) by Shatotto Architecture for Green Living, is a large house in the heart of the city, built to create an oasis in the midst of activity and density. The multilayered residence, forming an elegant setting, celebrates vertical spatial interplay, augmented by an appeal to the senses through plantings and water.
