Each year since 2007, the Global Awards for Sustainable Architecture have recognised five architects who offer new avenues and models for architectural practice. This year's awardshonour: an emblematic figure in architectural criticism and research and author of "Pattern Language", Christopher Alexander, who has made a lasting influence on both architectural theory and the scientific sector; Tatiana Bilbao, who already counts among her successes some very well-respected works of international architectural criticism and is committed to the urban design and sustainable construction, and who participates in the specific urban debate in Mexico and Latin America through her teaching; Bern Gundermann, who was instrumental in the renovation of Hamburg, Germany, and who has focused his research on ecological management of the Pacific coastline; Martin Rajnis, who operated a radical change in his career by engaging in eco-construction of light wooden structures, thus becoming the champion of "natural architecture"; architect and landscaper Adriaan Geuze, who, proclaiming his commitment to Dutch culture and its model of artistic, social and democratic development, directs the young West 8 agency that designs narrative cityscapes, large-scale artificial urban constructions in which users recognise themselves.A brilliant group of Global Awards winners for 2014, whose genius is amply illustrated inan exhibition of 40 of their works, ‘Re-enchanting the world’, at the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine in Paris, until 6 October 2014.
