WAF Announces Second Category Winners For 2017

An Australian Fish Market, a Jewish Cemetery in London, a clinic in South Africa and a trellis covered in growing vegetables are among the diverse architectural schemes and buildings being celebrated at the World Architecture Festival 2017 in Berlin. The Awards programme of the world’s largest international architectural event continued for its second day today. Practices winning awards after today’s presentations include AHMM (UK), Ntsika Architects (South Africa), Monk Mackenzie (New Zealand) and Emre Arolat Architecture (Turkey).

WilkinsonEyre have emerged victorious in the Commercial Mixed-Use - Future Projects category, which is supported by Miele. The visual drama of the practice’s plan for Battersea Power Station Phase 2 won the unanimous vote of the judges, who commented that "London is about to gain a majestic new destination." The practice is lauded for its "ingenious blending of commercial, retail and residential uses - and the way in which the design combines privacy where needed with wonderful public circulation and placemaking, which is masterful."

Swedish practice Sweco Architects have won the Culture - Future Projects category with their project Kulturkorgen - A Basket Full of Culture: a winning proposal for a new culture house in Gothenburg, Sweden. Judges extolled the concept as "an optimistic project that celebrates cultural diversity and integration." The venue will combine a library, a café, exhibition space, meeting rooms, a studio, a small theatre and a green house to form a "an informal and accessible community space."

The Education - Future Projects category has been won by Feilden Clegg Bradley and SHALOTTO architecture for their project Aga Khan Academy in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The concept is commended for its student-focused scale and intelligently designed landscape. A "very beautiful" school for the future, judges remarked that the building "demonstrates clear site zoning and the use and detailing of brick is relevant and sustainable."

Today’s fringe activity in the Festival Hall included the presentation of the Architecture Drawing Prize to London-based architecture student Jerome Xin Hao Ng for his work Momento Mori: a Peckham Hospice Care Home - a hybrid illustration that combines hand-drawn and digital disciplines. The winning entry of the Drawing Prize, created in collaboration with Make Architects, will be exhibited at the Sir John Soane’s Museum in London in Spring 2018.

WAF sees over 2,000 international architects descend upon its venue Arena Berlin this week. Delegates in the German capital can tomorrow see all the category winners present again on the Main Stage, before WAF culminates with the glittering Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony where the winners of the World Building, Interior, Future Project and Landscape of the Year will be announced.

Running alongside WAF is its sister event INSIDE which showcases 2017’s most ground- breaking interiors projects. Visitors to INSIDE will be able to view this year’s best in class interiors nominations from leading practices and designers across four continents.
