[Mendoza, December 29th, 2013] MAD Project is the first international crowdsourcing architecture contest whose opening edition was dedicated to Argentinean wine culture. MAD has selected two winners who will receive a prize of 10,000 dollars. The chosen projects for both calls are the following:

-“Entrevides” by MMIT Architects (#1556, Cantabria, Spain) was selected as the winner for the Restaurant project.

-“MADDAM”, by Vicens+Ramos (Spain) and Juan Carlos Alé+José María Silvestro (#1263, Mendoza, Argentina) was selected as the winner for the Meeting place project.

 

The winners successfully managed the challenge to operate in an urban area and a rural area following the guidelines of sustainability, constructability and innovation while incorporating the principles of “Crowd” or bank of ideas available to contestants on the website. The mentioned guidelines stemmed from a concept that merged the five senses, the four seasons and the four elements present in nature (S5+4E+4E).

The premiere edition of MAD project presented 1782 online registered users, 50 proposals by architecture firms worldwide, 10 finalists from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Spain, England and Mexico and two winning projects that accurately conveyed the iconic and disruptive element that the initial call aimed for.

PunchUp.me, the company responsible for the creation of MAD Project, was highly satisfied with the results and stated that 2014 will surely bring about many new challenges for creative people, architects and designers worldwide.
