The 2014 World Architecture Festival (WAF) has culminated with A21 studio’s The Chapel being named the Building of the Year. Each winner of the categories from day 1 and day 2 had the opportunity to present their projects in front of WAF’s ‘super-jury’, comprised of Richard Rogers, Rocco Yim, Julie Eizenberg, Enric Ruiz Geli and Peter Rich.
Following all of the presentations the jury then selected the Building
of the Year, as well as the winners of the Small Project of the Year,
Landscape of the Year and Future Project of the Year.
Read on after the break for more information on the winning projects…
BUILDING OF THE YEAR: The Chapel / A21 studio (Hochiminh, Vietnam)
The Chapel is a community space in a new urban ward on the outskirt of
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. As a result of estate crisis, the surrounding
area is lacking communal centers; therefore, the
Chapel is designed to be the place for people to participate in
activities such as conferences, weddings and exhibitions. The Chapel
takes advantage of materials from the owner’s previous projects such as
steel frames and metal sheets.
