The fifteenth, jubilee season of the international festival «EURASIAN PRIZE» came to an end in October, 2020. The final events of the season were held in an unusual, expanded format: besides the award ceremony of the international competition of architecture and design EURASIAN PRIZE’2020, the festival hosted an open international summit of architects, urbanists and designers, «ArchEurasia».
The business program of the Summit included more than 100 speakers from 26 cities of Russia and 8 countries of the world, with most of the speakers talking offline. All 25 sessions of the business program were cross-disciplinary, covering a broad range of vital issues – from urban-planning policies and participatory design to technological innovations within the smart-city conceptual framework. The sessions were attended by all stakeholders – architects, designers, urbanists, officials, community activists, developers, philosophers and sociologists, and representatives of relevant institutions. This kind of interdisciplinary discussion, free from any ideological pressures and sectoral lobbying, enabled specific proceedings to be suggested for various industries, including those most affected by the pandemic.
Along with the Summit, the Jury of the international competition of architecture and design EURASIAN PRIZE’2020 determined winners, who were presented awards at a grand ceremony. More than 450 projects from 22 countries competed to be recognized the best. In this season, the competition requirements were extremely rigorous and the jury was remarkably representative, including founders and heads of well-known architectural firms from 16 countries. The winners of the international competition represented 27 cities of Russia and 19 countries.
The fifteenth, jubilee season of the festival «EURASIAN PRIZE » has shown that current challenges —uncontrolled urbanization, poverty, isolation, social maladjustment, climatic and environmental changes — raise questions before the community of architects and designers how architecture could transform not only spaces but also society itself. Many of the winning competition entries have confirmed that architecture and design are really capable of solving acute social problems.
In December 2018, the three-day forum «ARCH EURASIA » crowned the 14th competitive season of the Eurasian Prize’2018, which attracted architects and designers from 16 countries of the world. Submissions to the competition came from 48 cities, from Tokyo to New York. The Eurasian Prize statuette for the first place was awarded to 24 entries, of which 12 also received the Grand Prix, «Hand of the Master». This award was presented for realized projects only. The awards ceremony was attended by participants from various cities of Russia: Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Kirov, Samara, Volgograd, Saratov, Chelyabinsk, Anapa, and Rostov-on-Don, and by winners from other countries, including Germany, Italy, the UK, the Netherlands, Japan, India, Pakistan, and Vietnam. It was a record-breaking attendance of the awards ceremony by winners in the history of the competition. This inspires confidence that the recreated Eurasian Prize was a much-awaited event. Many thanks to all, and see you in the new season 2019!
In the fall of 2017, the organizing committees of the international contest “The Eurasian Prize“ and the reputed national showcase and contest «The Hand of the Master» held annually in Ekaterinburg by the Russian Union of Architects joined efforts to recognize outstanding achievements of city planners, architects and designers in the Eurasian countries located along the New Silk Road passing through Ekaterinburg, and to identify, using winners as guiding examples, development perspectives for urban planning, architecture, urbanism and spatial design in this region.
Starting with the competitive season of 2018, the list of nominations has been considerably expanded. From this season on, the authors of the best works in all nominations will be awarded the Grand Prix «The Hand of the Master». The student competition is no longer a mirror reflection of the professional contest, and now nominations in it will be stated in accordance with theme of the year.
The City Museum of Architecture and Design re-opens in the recently renovated manufacture building of the 19th century. The Museum starts functioning as the Centre for Design Development, and the Eurasian Prize decides to support the initiative by appointing it as a new location for its twelfth awards gala.
The organizing committee decides to take a pause until 2016 to introduce several changes.
The awards hit a record: over 600 entries submitted for the competition by entrants from Russia’s twenty-eight regions and eight other countries including Italy, Germany, Lithuania, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus and Estonia. The judges come from Russia, Italy, Kyrgyzstan, USA, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, UK, Canada, Portugal and Brazil. Federico Delrosso, Alberto Rubio, Antonella Dedini are just some of the names to be mentioned. The President of the professional Union of Architects of Russia, Andrey Bokov, becomes head of the jury board. The national consulates attend the awards gala to honor representatives of their countries and celebrate their victories.
The organizing committee holds the exhibition of skyscrapers that have become winners of the current and previous editions of the Eurasian Prize.
The Eurasian Prize celebrates its 10th anniversary, which is marked by several charity auctions and exhibitions. The jury board grows even more international with 70% of its members representing several countries. The awards gala is attended by some of them, including architect and Swiss congressman Hervé Dessimoz, architect and lecturer at the Japanese Chiba University Satoshi Okada, Swiss architect Thomas Büchi, French architect Kristofe de Laagié and French architect Bernard Benoit.
The Eurasian Prize takes one more step into the public domain. For the first time, the citizens of Yekaterinburg are invited to decide which of the projects entered in the Architecture & Urbanism and Interior Design categories deserve the popular choice award. Of 400 hundred entries, the expert board selects a hundred to be judged by the general public. This provides a unique opportunity for the citizens of Yekaterinburg to show how they see their perfect city and their perfect homes.
The organizing committee takes the Eurasian Prize to INNOPROM, one of the biggest industrial fairs in Russia, initiating the first Global Design Forum organized as part of the major event. Two round tables and a panel discussion are held under the Eurasian Prize’s special program during the Forum.
Until 2011, the awards had been handed to winners by the expert jury and authorities representatives. The tradition is broken, and for a good reason: in order to satisfy the general public interest in the Eurasian Prize that had been growing over the years, the organizing committee invites celebrities beyond architecture and design to award the winners. Members of Uralochka, the legendary Sverdlovsk volleyball team, Olympics champions Shipulin and Chepikov, musicians Liss and Kolotursky, artists Valovich, Brusilovsky, Sajaev, heads of several consulates, and many other public figures accept the invitation and make the event an unforgettable experience.
One more step into the public space, the Eurasian Prize organizes the Garden Show at the city’s main square. A huge garden unfolds in the city center overnight to the amusement of every citizen.
Top designers in the region offer their help in reshaping the image of the Eurasian Prize. The new logo, identity and, most importantly, the new physical shape of the award are born. From now on, the Grand Prix and first place winners are awarded a statuette, epitomizing a waterfall of creative ideas streaming freely and undrainable. Following the contribution by the industrial designers, industrial design becomes a separate category, with several subcategories of its own.
The organizing committee takes a look back at the previous editions of the Eurasian Prize and decides to introduce a new scheme: starting this year, entrants choose whether they compete as professionals or as students. Each entrant level has its own competition, covering the full list of categories, meaning that Professionals now compete against Professionals, while Students compete against Students.
The year is marked with traditional events added by a new charity auction, where multiple architects, designers, artists and sculptors sell their works in favor of the education of gifted children from economically disadvantaged families.
Five years since its launch, the Eurasian Prize Organizing Committee decides to piece the best projects together in the Eurasian Prize Gold Collection. The Collection is then shaped in an exhibition which goes on tour across Russia, amazing and wowing professional communities of each and every big city.
The jury of the new season is built of international designers and architects which includes Alberto Antonelli (Italy), Gaëlle Péneau (France), Giancarlo Piotto (Italy) and Michael Jantzen (USA) and Monica Blinco (Australia).
In November, the Organizing Committee announces a one-of-a-kind charity event. Local leading architects, designers and decorators are invited to create their own interpretation of a Christmas Tree for an exhibition and charity auction. The idea resonates with the professional community, and the event is held at the Yekaterinburg Great Philharmonic Hall, supported by the symphonic orchestra. The proceeds are used to fund design lessons at one of the city orphanages.
In addition to the charity auction and the bowling tournament, the Eurasian Prize holds several round tables and networking events for architects, designers and decorators.
The jury board of the Eurasian Prize 2006 features multiple international stars, such as Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas, French architect Alain Charles and American designer Henry Kendall. Invited by Prof. Dr. Peter Zeck, the Chairman of the Red Dot awards, the Organizing Committee pays a visit to the Red Dot headquarters and museum. The two organizations agree upon joining forces to promote product design and its further development in Russia.
The first bowling tournament between architects and designers organized by the Eurasian Prize to become an annual tradition, providing great networking and promotion opportunities. The Eurasian Prize grows into a set of events that are organized throughout the year.
Famous French architect, Jean-François Cabestan accepts the invitation by the Eurasian Prize to join the jury board of the new season. The Eurasian Prize organizing committee holds the Week of High Interior Fashion, a week-long celebration of design consisting of discussions, workshops, master classes and festivities. The week culminates in the gala event at the Residence of the Governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast. The Governor, Eduard Rossel, and Jean-François Cabestan personally hand the awards to the winners. Impressed by the city and the event, the French architect writes an essay dedicated to his journey and role as a judge. The tradition of the Eurasian Prize as a week-long event is born.
The Eurasian Prize, the architecture and design festival with the award program is officially registered in Russia. The name is suggested by the location of the headquarters of the organizing committee, a city of Yekaterinburg which lies on the border of Europe and Asia. The unique form of competition and festival makes the Eurasian Prize a noteworthy event with its fame spreading quickly across the whole of Russia and beyond the land’s borders.
The interior design scene is still taking shape in the region. The new design magazine, Le Tabouret, is founded to promote the industry. Looking for the best projects, the editorial organizes the first interior design competition in the region, named Interior Style and Prestige. The professional community, including architects, designers and related businesses, shows huge interest in the initiative, support and readiness to be part of it. The Eurasian Prize is yet to emerge, but the basis is laid.

Professor Rafiq Azam is an internationally acclaimed architect from Bangladesh who has been practicing and developing his remarkable style of green architecture for the last 30 years. His architecture is a harmonious fusion of tradition, nature, and mysticism, including tiny elements of nature to adorn his buildings with poetic beauty. A “House” to him is not just an abode for humans, but a nest for butterflies and birds as well. Rafiq’s mastery of light, shadow, water, and air is influenced by such mysticisms as cited by Lalon and Tagore. His green architecture is not a mere mechanism of energy saving – rather it is an inspiring process of energy gaining.
Rafiq Azam was born on December 29, 1963, in Dhaka, Bangladesh and lived with his family in Lalbagh for most of his youth. In 1986, he finished designing the Azam Residence, a single-family residence which he held dear to his heart as it was made to house his own family following the death of his father. The residence finished construction in 1988.

Jeremy represented New Zealand at the 2015, 2018 and 2020 Prague International Architecture Festivals with a series of exhibitions developing the idea of participating with existing landscapes before generating new contexts, what he calls Soft Architecture. Jeremy was an International Juror for the Indian Institute of Architects National Awards in 2019, has judged the NZIA New Zealand Architecture Awards, and at World Architecture Festivals in Singapore, Berlin, and Amsterdam, and has been invited to judge in Lisbon 2022.

Jeremy is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Auckland where he teaches an iterative design studio at
Masters level, won Victoria University of Wellington’s Centennial Medal for post-graduate academic achievement and has a design based PHD undertaken between practice commitments; finding time, he suggests, at airports and while his kids are at parties. The return to academia has allowed Jeremy to merge what are often divergent disciplines in New Zealand architecture. Key to his practice, teaching and research, is understanding how buildings inhabit an environment that constantly undergoes change, be it in city or rural landscapes. His work across a wide range of scales and typologies shows that architecture benefits from a continual dialogue and iterative participation between building and context. And with Soft Architecture comes the question, is being finished finished?

Co-Founder of the Amsterdam-based studio Scholten & Baijings until 2019, Carole Baijings is widely regarded as one of the most exciting, innovative and dynamic industrial designers in Europe. A self-confessed perfectionist, her work – which includes ceramics, glassware, textiles, furniture and electronics – is distinguished by a carefully considered use of colour, pattern and graphic elements. Her eye for detail is well-known. This has resulted in numerous partnerships with brands such as Samsung, IKEA, MINI, HAY, Herman Miller, Karimoku New Standard and Maharam among others.
Always looking to challenge and rethink the way people interact and live with design, Baijings’ work has been featured in prestigious institutions such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Rijksmuseum.
“My design philosophy has always been the ‘Atelier-way-of-working’. That means that I hand-make my own colours, materials, and models and in doing so create new and unique shapes and forms. I have an eye for detail, and working by hand allows me to achieve that precision – whether it’s finding that exact shade of fluorescent pink or slightly tweaking the proportions of a seat for a more comfy sit.
Colour is my truest passion. It’s at the heart of what I design and something I like to toggle with from start to finish. Colour, and with it ideas of transparency, layering and grids have the potential to add so much dimensionality to a piece – it’s so much more than just the icing on the cake!
Nature is a big inspiration for my work. I like to say that flowers can never be too vulgar, no matter how bright they are. So that’s something I’m constantly challenging myself to further explore: how can I incorporate these bold colours whilst still achieving a sense of refinement?
I’m certainly no stranger to a touch of fluorescent – in fact, it’s almost become a signature. It used to be a real challenge to produce these fluorescents in different materials but over time and with the introduction of colour-fast inks, it’s increasingly achievable. To say I’m pleased is an understatement.
I’ve been fortunate to work with prestigious brands and museums – all of which have their own unique ethos and history. Understanding this DNA and exactly what each brand stands for is my starting place and a great source of inspiration. When collaborating, I strive for a finished product where we can honestly say that we see reflections of both our identities.”

Rocco Yim founded his own practice in 1979, and was one of the co-founders of Rocco Design Partners in 1982. The firm has received many local and international awards and citations for design excellence since its inception and has won its first international competition in 1983. Under his stewardship in design, the firm has grown significantly over the years both in size and reputation. Rocco has been actively involved in dialogues with the cultural and architectural communities both local and overseas. His emphasis on design excellence and social responsibility has become very much the firm’s aspiration for the future.

Rocco Design’s works are marked by their sensitivity and sensibility. While always eager to explore and innovate, they are nonetheless aware that architecture, rather than just an art, is ultimately the art of problem-solving.

Since founding the studio in 2009, Italians Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin have championed the need for value – laden advocacy merged with holistic design thinking. Their aim is to facilitate a deeper understanding of both our natural and built environments and to propose transformative interventions through design and its material, technical, social, and discursive possibilities.
Working from their studio in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, the practice embraces a broad spectrum of typologies and methods, from product design through spatial design, strategic planning and design consultancy. Whether designing to a client’s brief or developing self – initiated projects, the studio applies the same rigorous attention to context, process and detail. As a result, Formafantasma’s entire portfolio is characterised by a coherent visual language and meticulously researched outcomes.
For Formanfantasma, this crossflow of knowledge and experience taken from both their commercial contracts and their more autonomous projects has benefitted and informed the respective other. It has also given them a unique perspective of the design industry, allowing them to acknowledge the legacy of industrial production as the fundamental source for the designer’s expertise and agency in contemporary society while also addressing its historic contribution to environmental instability.
The studio’s prescient insight into the challenges facing design, culture, the environment and society has earned them the patronage of an array of international clients such as Lexus, Flos, Fendi, Max Mara, Hermes, Droog, Nodus Rug, J&L Lobmeyr, Cassina, Bitossi, Established and Sons, La Biennale di Venezia, Rijks Museum, Dzek, Ginori, Hem, Maison Matisse, Bulgari, Samsung, Rado, Roll and Hill, Galleria Giustini / Stagetti, La Rinascente, Gallery Libby Sellers among others.
Alongside works for clients, their projects have been presented, published and acquired in the permanent collection of international museums including New York’s MoMA and Metropolitan Museum, Art Institute Chicago, London’s Victoria and Albert, Paris’ Musée National d’Art Moderne, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, CNAP, Fondation Cartier and Centre Pompidou, the Amsterdam’sStedelijk Museum, the Vienna’s MAK Museum , Utrecht’sCentraal Museum, Mudac Lausanne, North Carolina’s Mint Museum of Craft and Design, Rome’s Museo Maxxi, Vitra Design Museum, Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria, Triennale di Milano, LACMA, Tilburg’s Textiel Museum and others.
In March 2020 Serpentine Galleries dedicated a solo exhibition to Formafantasma and their in – depth investigation into the governance of the timber industry.
From September 2020 Trimarchi and Farresin have overseen the GEO–Design department at Design Academy in Eindhoven to further explorations into the social, economic, territorial and geopolitical forces shaping design today.

Архитектору необязательно досконально разбираться во всех этих вещах, но он должен четко понимать их взаимосвязь. Весь этот комплекс решений влияет на условия для жизни, работы или развлечений в каждом случае внутри и снаружи объекта», — говорит архитектор.
Архитектурной фирме «АЛКУТА» в 2019 году исполнилось 27 лет. Как бы ни складывались обстоятельства в жизни и бизнесе, поступательное движение вперёд было единственной программой, от которой команда «Алкуты» не отступала никогда. Даже сложные периоды кризисов архитекторы использовали для разработки стратегических направлений развития фирмы.
Anssi Lassila (b. Soini Finland, 1973) is the founder and director of OOPEAA Office for Peripheral Architecture. His international breakthrough was the Kärsämäki Shingle Church in 2004. Lassila’s architecture displays his interest in combining a sculptural form with traditional materials and innovative techniques. For him, peripheral sensitivity is a vital part of the creative process. OOPEAA draws inspiration from ‘in-between’ states – between urban and rural, traditional and contemporary, local and international. In its approach OOPEAA emphasizes the potential embedded in exploring new methods and techniques as a means of developing new solutions in building. Their work is characterized by a strong interest in the way materials behave and experimentation with innovative solutions. It is about venturing into borderlands and identifying new possibilities where tradition meets the new.
OOPEAA works on a wide range of projects on varying scales from churches and public buildings to housing, office buildings and private houses to town planning, and urban visions as well as renovations and extensions to historically valuable landmarks. The office is based in Seinäjoki and Helsinki, Finland, and it currently employs a staff of 20. OOPEAA has been honored with significant awards and won several prizes in competitions both in Finland and abroad, including the Rice Design Alliance Spotlight Award in 2017, the Finlandia Prize for Architecture in 2015, the Wood Architecture Award in 2015, the Canadian Wood Design and Building Award 2016, and the American Architecture Prize 2016 in two categories. The work of the office has also been selected for the shortlist for the Mies van der Rohe European Prize for Architecture in 2005, 2011 and 2017, and nominated for the 2019 edition of the prize.
Ансси Лассила (Anssi Lassila), финский архитектор, основатель бюро OOPEAA, получил образование на факультете архитектуры Университета Оулу в 2002 году. Его международным прорывом стала Церковь Kärsämäki Shingle Church (2004). Лассила живет и работает в Хельсинки, Финляндия. Он является основателем и главным партнером аритектурной компании OOPEAA, ранее известной как Lassila Hirvilammi Architects Ltd. OOPEAA работает над различными проектами: церквями, офисными зданиями, жилищными и частными домами, дизайном интерьера и реконструкцией. В настоящее время офисы фирмы расположены в Сейняйоки и Хельсинки, Финляндия. Проекты OOPEAA были удостоены престижных наград и номинаций. OOPEAA быстро завоевала лидерскую позицию среди молодых финских архитектурных практик. Архитектура Лассилы демонстрирует его интерес к сочетанию скульптурной формы с традиционными материалами и современными техниками строительства.
Бюро OOPEAA хорошо известно за пределами Финляндии благодаря умению сочетать лаконичную форму с традиционным материалом — деревом и новейшими техниками строительства и обработки поверхностей. OOPEAA стремится к архитектуре, которая находит свое вдохновение в состоянии промежуточного положения — «периферийной архитектуре», смысл которой заключается в том, что и сами строения, и среда, в которой они расположены, представляют собой некое «пограничье», точку схождения разных пространств, материалов и культур.

Магнус Стром основал Ström Architects в 2010 году.
Он приехал из Швеции, чтобы изучать архитектуру в Портсмутском университете в 1995 году, получив высшее образование в классе со степенью бакалавра (с отличием) и получив две награды за дипломные проекты. После работы в Лондоне и Винчестере он продолжил учебу, чтобы получить диплом с отличием, а также получить премию RIBA South Region Award за выдающиеся дизайнерские работы, а также номинироваться на серебряную медаль RIBA.

Его практика специализируется на высококачественной современной архитектуре, уделяя особое внимание проектированию и доставке уникальных домов и одноразовых домов как в Великобритании, так и за рубежом.
Подход к архитектуре не является поверхностным или сугубо эффективным, вместо этого необходимо искать основы в человеческой жизни (клиент) и природе (сайт / среда). Это вдохновляет проекты и как пространства созданы. Через непрерывный и тщательный диалог со структурой, деталями, материалами и порядком, Магнус ищет целостный и тектонический подход в реализации архитектурных идей.
Технология допускает нашу архитектуру, но наша архитектура не определяется ею. Вместо этого это помогает нам эффективно строить таким образом, который является неотъемлемой частью архитектуры, а также является устойчивым.

Fernando Romero (Fernando Romero), Mexican architect, founder of the architectural Studio FR-EE.
After graduating from Iberoamericana University, Fernando Romero worked with Jean Nouvel and Rem Koolhaas in Paris and Rotterdam. Then he founded FR-EE in Mexico city in 2000 and then opened an office in New-York.
FR-EE uses research combined with technological advances to create a range of public and private projects, including Museo Soumaya in Mexico city. The projects of the Studio are aimed at solving a wide range of private and public initiatives from urban development and green infrastructure to community formation. Romero recently collaborated with British architect Norman Foster in the development of a new airport in Mexico city, which attempts to become the most sustainable airport in the world.
The architect’s portfolio includes joint projects with such contemporary stars as Rem Koolhas, Norman Foster, Jean Nouvel, Enrico Mirales.
Fernando Romero is the author of several books on the theory of architecture, including «Translation» – about the transition from modernism to the era of Web 2.0, and «Hyperborder» – about the illusory nature of the border between Mexico and the United States. His research has been widely published and he has received many international awards for his work. He also became an honorary fellow of the American Institute of architects (AIA).
Фернандо Ромеро (Fernando Romero), мексиканский архитектор, основатель архитектурной студии FR-EE.
После окончания Университета Iberoamericana Фернандо Ромеро работал с Жаном Нувелем и Ремом Колхасом в Париже и Роттердаме. Затем он основал FR-EE в Мехико в 2000 году, а затем открыл офис в Нью-Йорке.FR-EE использует исследования в сочетании с технологическими достижениями для создания целого ряда общественных и частных проектов, в том числе Museo Soumaya в Мехико. Проекты студии направлены на решение широкого круга частных и общественных инициатив от городского развития и зеленой инфраструктуры до образования сообщества. Ромеро недавно сотрудничал с британским архитектором Норманом Фостером в разработке нового аэропорта в Мехико, который стремится стать самым устойчивым аэропортом в мире.
Ромеро — архитектор новой эпохи, который черпает вдохновение в идеях великих современников и смело экспериментирует с формой. Он считает, что технология стремительно меняет, а границы теряют смысл. Эволюция цивилизации привела к резкому понижению роли локального, а архитектура сегодня — это сочетание местного и глобального, перевод амбиций заказчика, экономической ситуации, бюджета и законодательных ограничений на язык конкретного строительного решения.
В своем блоге Фернандо помещает все, что вызывает у него интерес. Наряду с предсказуемыми разделами “Архитектура” и “Дизайн” там можно найти информацию об электрических гоночных машинах, видеоклипы Дэмиена Херста, социологический анализ сайта Facebook и много другой неожиданной информации.
В портфолио архитектора совместные проекты с такими звездами современности, как Рем Коолхас, Норман Фостер, Жан Нувель, Энрико Миралес.
Фернандо Ромеро автор нескольких книг по теории архитектуры, в том числе Translation — о переходе от модернизма к эпохе Web 2.0, и Hyperborder — об иллюзорности границы между Мексикой и США. Его исследования были широко опубликованы, и он получил множество международных наград за свою работу. Он также стал почетным научным сотрудником Американского института архитекторов (AIA).

Ализи Брайон (Alizee Brion) родилась в Париже, выросла в Лондоне, имеет степень магистра архитектуры в Колумбийском университете в Нью-Йорке. До создания Light On White Ализи оттачивала свои дизайнерские навыки, работая с известными архитектурными и дизайнерскими фирмами, включая офис Филиппа Старка в Париже.
Сегодня Light On White – это известная международная студия архитектуры и дизайна интерьеров, специализирующаяся на элитных жилых проектах для частных клиентов и застройщиков по всему миру.
Профессиональное кредо Ализи выражается в том, что дом – это личность, а ее вдохновением является то, что люди слушают разговоры о том, как они хотят жить. У нее есть способность запечатлеть видение своего клиента и создать отличные функциональные и долговечные образы. В её творческом подходе отчетливо выражается страсть к искусству, любовь к природе и глобальным путешествиям.
«Признавая эмоциональное влияние, которое окружающая среда может оказать на нас, я тяготею к чистым линиям, нейтральным тонам и гармоничному наложению текстур, которые вызывают чувство спокойствия», говорит Ализи о своем авторском стиле.
Маналу Рачди (Manal Rachdi) удалось создать глобальную, любознательную, открытую, восприимчивую, многокультурную команду Oxo Architects. Он играет ведущую скрипку в открытой рабочей среде, в которой проявляются лучшие творческие способности, объединенные целями и целеустремленностью членов команды.
Oxo Architects завоевал международную репутацию благодаря своим проектам, которые определяют высокотехнологичные и программные подходы. Кроме того, проекты разрабатываются так, чтобы использовать ресурсы с разумными затратами и смешивать традиционные задачи, такие как жилье, отдых, работа и коммерческая деятельность, для создания новых форм симбиотических культур.
Команда Oxo Architects обладает способностью сочетать взвешенный анализ, необузданные эксперименты и социальную ответственность в каждом проекте. В результате практика рассматривается как генерация нового поколения архитекторов. Дизайнерское осмысливание каждого проекта начинается с глубоких исследований того, что Манал Рачди называет «Чувствительная археология контекста», с целью исследовать различные системы для построения эффективных зданий, в то же время определяя чувствительную архитектуру. Фактически, история и происхождение являются якорем современной архитектуры. Фундаментальные исследования от глубины участка до других элементов окружающей среды, таких как ландшафт, метеорология, социальные привычки или традиции, могут помочь разработать наиболее гармоничный проект. Подобное исследование открывает сбалансированный диалог между архитектурой и природой.
В нашумевшем проекте многоцелевой башни под названием L’Arbre Blanc (Белое дерево) архитекторы Oxo Architects в соавторстве с Sou Fujimoto Architects, Nicolas Laisné Associés во всей полноте продемонстрировали принцип архитектуры свободного выбора, которую они считают основой будущего жилищного строительства, когда все начинают с «жилфонда», когда покупают свою квартиру и не ограничиваются изготовленными «под ключ» изделиями. Вместо этого им предоставляются возможности, модульные внутренние пространства, которые они могут выбрать из каталога дополнительных функций и планов этажей.

Oxo Architects is a Parisian architectural practice founded by the architect, Manal Rachdi. The office has crafted a global, curious, open, receptive, multicultural team. It defines an open work environment that brings out the best creative talent, united in purpose and commitment.
Oxo has built an international reputation thanks to its projects that define high forwardthinking technical and programmatic approaches. Furthermore, the projects are designed wisely to use resources with reasonable costs and mix conventional programs such as housing, recreation, work and commercial to create new forms of symbiotic cultures.
Oxo has the ability to combine judicious analysis, mischievous experimentation and social res- ponsibility to each project. As result, the practice is considered as part of the new generation of ar- chitects. The design thinking of each project starts with several studies in what Manal Rachdi calls
«The sensitive archeology of its context». The goal is to explore different systems in order to build efficient buildings, while defining a sensitive architecture. In fact, the history and origins are the anchor of today’s architecture. Researching from the site depths to other environment elements such as the landscape, the meteorology, the social habits or traditions can help to design the most suitable project. This research opens a balanced dialogue between architecture and nature.
Manal Rachdi (OXO Architects) win prestigious competition to remake a Parisian neighbourhood – the “Réinventer Paris” (Reinventing Paris) competition for the site of Pershing in Paris with their project “Mille Arbres” (Thousand Trees). The firm are also associated with the team of Sou Fujimoto Architects (based in Tokyo).

«Только если вы осмелитесь сделать что-то совершенно новое, выйти за границы привычного, только тогда вы обретете новые знания»
Эта фраза – движущая сила в работе Маттео Туна. Он родился и вырос в регионе Южный Тироль, области Италии, где воедино сливаются культуры и противоположности, итальянский и немецкий языки. Учился у австрийского живописца и драматурга Оскара Кокошки, а также в Архитектурном университете Флоренции, после чего вместе с Этторе Соттсассом основал в Милане дизайнерскую группу Memphis, феномен 80-х годов прошлого столетия. В 1984 году Маттео Тун основал свою собственную студию в Милане, в 2001 – Matteo Thun + Partners.

Гриффин Ян родился в г. Тайбэй (Тайвань), с уже в детстве полюбил рисовать. В старших классах рисунки в блокноте стали не просто набросками, а все больше походили на серьезные работы. Ещё будучи школьником, он удостоился ряда наград в художественных конкурсах, однако, его родители не перестали беспокоиться о судьбе сына. После окончания школы Гриффин Ян твердо решил изучать искусство и дизайн. Уже тогда он знал, что ему повезло найти свое признание еще в детстве. После окончания университета он принял участие в серии художественных проектов, среди них: Скульптура общественных пространств, Музей науки (Тайчжун, Тайвань), а также Искусство в контексте городской среды в г. Синьин (Тайвань). Среди последних наград: в 2015 году – Taiwan Cultural & Creative Award, Министерство культуры, Тайвань, в 2011 году – IDA design awards, 2-ое место, США.
В 2009 году он основал “haoshi”, что в переводе с китайского значит «хорошие вещи». Концепция бренда такова:
находить в жизни то интересное и доброе, что окружает нас и вкладывать это в предметы интерьера. Животные взяты за основной элемент, потому что общество похоже на лес, оно является домом для различных видов животных. Это животные дарят свою любовь людям с разным характером и разным образом жизни, привносят чистоту и доброту в их мир, напоминают, что что маленькие приятные вещи способны дарить большую радость.
Griffin Yang was born in Taipei, likes drawing since he was a child. The drawing in the textbook was more than notes when he was studying senior school. Although winning lots of award from drawing competition, his parents did not stop worried about his future.

In 2009, he founded “haoshi”, observing details of life, found out the good and interesting things surround us and put it into home decoration as design concept. Taking “animals” as the main element, because the society is like a forest, it is a home of various kind of animals. These animals like people in different character and lifestyle. To enjoy the beauty of life and put the moment in to living environment, telling people good thing is always around.
“Only if you dare to do something new, to cross borders, you can experience new knowledge”.

Zhang Ke founded ZAO/standardarchitecture in 2001. With a wide range of realized works, the studio has emerged as one of the most critical and innovative protagonists among the new generation of Chinese architects.
Recent works by Zhang Ke include the Novartis Campus Building in Shanghai, a number of Hutong and courtyard transformation projects in the city center of Beijing, and various buildings embedded in the landscape of Tibet.
Although the completed works often take exceptionally provocative visual results, the buildings and landscapes are always rooted in the historic and cultural settings with a degree of intellectual debate.
Many honors have been awarded to Zhang Ke and his studio, including the Alvar Aalto Medal, 2017; Aga Khan Award for Architecture, 2016; International Award Architecture in Stone, 2011; the Design Vanguard by Architecture Record, 2010; China Architecture Media Award (CAMA), Best Young Architect Prize, 2008; and the WA Chinese Architecture Award, Winning Prize, 2010 and 2006.
Born in 1970, Zhang Ke received his Master of Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1998 and his Master and Bachelor of Architecture from Tsinghua University in Beijing. Zhang Ke has been teaching studios in architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design since 2016.
Чжан Ке (Zhang Ke) находится в авангарде когорты китайских архитекторов и дизайнеров новой волны. Дважды лауреат национальной премии WA Chinese Architecture Award (2006 и 2010 гг.), премии China Architecture Media Award (CAMA) в категории «Лучший молодой архитектор» (2008 г), и премии the Design Vanguard от журнала Architectural Record (2010), лауреат архитектурной премии Ага Хана (2016), и обладатель Медали Альвара Аалто (2017). Внушительный список, не правда ли?
С юных лет Чжан Ке мечтал проектировать, но был уверен, что китайская архитектурная школа слишком замкнута на себе, поэтому жаждал получить образование за пределами КНР.
После успешного окончания национального университета Цинхуа в начале 90-х, он всё-таки осуществил свою мечту и отправился в Штаты. Там окончил Гарвардскую высшую школу дизайна, получив степень магистра архитектуры. Кстати, в 2016 он вернулся в Гарвард, но уже в статусе преподавателя. Впрочем, это уже совсем другая история.
С 2001 Чжан Ке работает под флагами основанной им студии ZAO/standardarchitecture, которая специализируется на архитектурном проектировании, городском планировании, ландшафтном и предметном дизайне.
Визуально проекты китайского зодчего носят провокационный характер, бросают вызов ортодоксальным представлениям о форме и содержании. Но автор всегда тщательно встраивает их в социально-культурный контекст, благодаря чему построенные им объекты перестают быть вещью в себе и становятся смысловым центром окружающего пространства.
Этот тезис прекрасно демонстрируют последние работы автора, в т.ч. кампус крупнейшей фармацевтической компании Novartis в Шанхае и серия проектов по преобразованию средневековых хутунов (особый тип комплексной застройки) в центре Пекина.
В последние годы Чжан Ке – частый гость крупнейших архитектурных смотров. Так, в 2015 сольная выставка работ его студии была представлена на берлинском архитектурном форуме (Aedes Architekturforum). В 2016 архитектор представлял Китай на Венецианской биеннале, а в конце 2017 он всколыхнул профессиональное сообщество своей инсталляцией Make New Hutong Metabolism («Создать новый метаболизм хутунов»), которая украсила Архитектурную биеннале в Чикаго.
In 2017, Paolo Bleve founded Il Foglio del Mobile, a free press magazine dedicated to furniture and interior design. He quickly captured the added value offered by international industry events, acting as a meeting place for professionals and promoting new business opportunities. As a result, the new medium became the first such specialized newspaper mainly spread through international exhibition channels, promoting the excellence of Italian furniture.
For more than ten years, the medium has been steadily growing under Paolo’s capable guidance. The graphic design of the magazine has been perfected, the content and visibility has been expanded, and the name has been changed several times to meet the requirements of the growing brand, from the original to IFDM | Il Foglio Del Mobile in 2013, and finally, to the current name, IFDM | International Furniture Design Magazine. In order to keep up with the quickly developing digital world, IFDM.it, the innovative digital platform that combines information, services, and social networks, was launched. IFDM has partnered with the most prestigious international hotels and with associations such as ICE and FederlegnoArredo. IFDM| Contract & Hospitality Book, a collectible book published in two editions — Spring|Summer and Fall|Winter, was launched in 2016 to highlight architectural and interior design projects through a striking graphic layout.
Паоло Блеве основал издание Il Foglio Del Mobile в 2007 году, движимый идеей создания эффективного инструмента продвижения для компаний мебельного сектора. Паоло безошибочно уловил скрытый потенциал международных профильных мероприятий, собирающих вокруг себя профессионалов и открывающих новые возможности для бизнеса. Так специализированное издание, воспевающее красоту итальянской мебели, Il Foglio del Mobile стало первым в своём роде таблоидом, основными точками распространения которого являются международные выставки и их информационные каналы.
На протяжении более чем десяти лет издание стабильно развивалось под чутким руководством Паоло, всё более расширяя свою международную аудиторию. В связи с этим претерпевали изменения контентная политика, позиционирование и название — от оригинального к IFDM | Il Foglio Del Mobile, которое было дано бренду в 2013 году, и к нынешнему — IFDM | Interior Furniture Design Magazine. Был также запущен онлайн-ресурс IFDM.it, объединивший в себе информацию, сервисы и коммуникации. В числе партнёров издания стали появляться такие престижные международные гостиницы и ассоциации, как ICE и FederlegnoArredo. В 2016 году был представлен пилотный номер коллекционного издания IFDM | Contract & Hospitality Book, выпускающегося два раза в году.

Крис Уилкинсон (Chris Wilkinson) по праву считается одним из ведущих и наиболее известных архитекторов туманного Альбиона. Кавалер Ордена Британской Империи, член Королевской Академии, почётный доктор Оксфордского и Вестминстерского университетов и почетный член Американского Института Архитекторов – вот лишь малая часть его регалий и званий, красноречиво свидетельствующих о высочайшем уровне признания профессиональных заслуг.
На заре карьеры Крису довелось работать под началом таких выдающихся проектировщиков, как Дэнис Лэсдан, Норман Фостер, Ричард Роджерс, Майкл Хопкинс. Этот период стал ключевым в формировании уникального подхода к проектированию, который сам мэтр нередко называет “гуманизированным модернизмом”.
Набравшись опыта и заработав себе имя, в 1983 году Крис Уилкинсон основывает собственную мастерскую Chris Wilkinson Architects. Позже Крис объединяет усилия с другим выдающимся архитектором — Джимом Эйром, и архитектурное бюро обретает имя, под которым оно известно сегодня: WilkinsonEyre. На сегодняшний день WilkinsonEyre — единственная в мире архитектурная компания, которой удалось получить обе ключевые премии Королевского института британских архитекторов: две Премии Стерлинга (проекты образовательного центра «Магна» в 2001 и первого в мире наклоняемого моста Миллениум в 2002 году) и две Премии Любеткина (Международный финансовый центр в Гуанчжоу в 2012 и холодные оранжереи в природном парке “Сады у Залива” в Сингапуре в 2013). Всего в копилке компании более 120 престижных мировых наград.
Одиль Декк (Оdile Decq) – французский архитектор, урбанист. Известна благодаря оригинальному авторскому стилю, который сама характеризует как «гипернапряжение» (Hyper-Tension).
По её мнению, главный инструмент архитектора – это пространство, которое следует воспринимать как пластичную и удивительно податливую субстанцию. Подобно скульптору Одиль искривляет, сжимает и растягивает подконтрольное ей пространство, находя всё новые способы вступить в диалог со зрителем, заставить его по-новому воспринимать привычные объемы и расстояния.
Среди наиболее заметных проектов автора – новый корпус музея современных искусств MARCO в Риме и интерьер ресторана L’Opera в Париже.
Одиль Декк родилась в 1955 году на севере Франции. Диплом архитектора получила в Университете Пьера и Марии Кюри, затем изучала градостроительство в парижском Институте политических исследований.
Отправной точкой в её карьере стало знакомство с другим талантливым проектировщиком Бенуа Корнеттом, вместе с которым Одиль основала студию ODBC.
Свой первый крупный проект – офисное здание La Banque Populaire de l’Ouest – студия завершила в 1990 году. Тогда же на них обратили внимание крупнейшие профильные СМИ. С тех пор работы творческого дуэта регулярно появлялись на станицах архитектурных изданий и неоднократно отмечались различными премиями и наградами.
После трагической гибели Бенуа в 1998 г, Одиль продолжила работать над своими проектами в одиночку, применяя идеи «гипернапряжения» не только в архитектуре, но и в урбанистике, предметном дизайне и даже изобразительном искусстве. Параллельно с этим она продолжает возделывать почву для появления нового поколения архитекторов, занимая пост ректора в одном из старейших и самых авторитетных архитектурных университетов Франции – Ecole Spéciale d’Architecture.
Россана Орланди (Rossana Orlandi) – итальянская галеристка и без преувеличения одна из самых влиятельных фигур в современном дизайне. Именно благодаря ей мир узнал имена Начо Карбонелла, Хайме Айона, Пита Хейн Эка, Марии Хирби и десятков других талантливых творцов.
Сеньора Орланди и сама начинала свою карьеру в качестве дизайнера, однако быстро отстранилась от «полевой» работы. В течение 20 лет она была консультантом по выбору пряжи, сотрудничая с такими известными брендами как Giorgio Armani, Donna Karan и др. Вместе с этим она регулярно брала на себя роль куратора различных дизайнерских выставок, что помогло ей заработать определенную известность в профессиональных кругах.
В 2002 Россана Орланди открыла собственную арт-галерею Galleria Rossana Orlandi в Милане, где начала выставлять работы никому не известных, но подающих большие надежды творцов. Поначалу в фокусе её внимания были представители голландской школы дизайна, однако вскоре география экспонентов значительно расширилась. Из числа ее недавних протеже можно выделить словенского дизайнера Ники Зупанк, шведское трио Front, японку Юкикико Нагаи и других трендсеттеров современности.
Кто-то называет Россану Орланди крестной мамой дизайнеров-авангардистов, кто-то – главным дирижёром миланской дизайн-сцены. Думается, что эти статусы в равной степени верны и корректны, ведь эта экстравагантная старушка обладает феноменальным чутьем на таланты и умеет удивительно точно предугадывать тренды.
Odile Decq is a French architect and urban planner. International renown came in 1990 with her first major commission: La Banque Populaire de l’Ouest in Rennes, France. Since then, she has been faithful to her fighting attitude while diversifying and radicalizing her research. Being awarded The Golden Lion of Architecture during the Venice Biennale in 1996 acknowledged her early and unusual career. Other than just a style, an attitude or a process, Odile Decq’s work materializes a complete universe that embraces urban planning, architecture, design and art. Her multidisciplinary approach was recently recognized with the Jane Drew Prize in 2016, and she was honored with Architizer’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017 for her pioneering work, but also her engagement and contribution to the debate on architecture.
Odile Decq has been teaching architecture for the past 25 years. She has been invited to be a guest professor in prestigious universities such as the Bartlett (London), the Kunstakademie (Vienna & Düsseldorf), SCI-Arc (Los Angeles, CA), Columbia University (New York, NY), and more recently at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design (Cambridge, MA).
In France, she was Head of l’École Spéciale d’Architecture (ESA) in Paris from 2007 to 2012. Following this experience, she created her own school in Lyon in 2014: the Confluence Institute for Innovation and Creative Strategies in Architecture.
Her most recent projects include Study Hall (Lyon, 2017); Le Cargo (Paris, 2016); La Résidence Saint-Ange (Seyssins, 2015); Fangshan Tangshan National Geopark Museum (Nanjing, 2015); GL Events Headquarters (Lyon, 2014); FRAC Bretagne (Rennes, 2012); Phantom: restaurant of Opéra Garnier (Paris, 2011) and the MACRO Contemporary Art Museum (Rome, 2010).
Founder and director of one of Europe’s most important design galleries, Rossana is famous for having an unmatched eye for spotting design talent. Galleria Rossana Orlandi opened in 2002 in a former tie factory in the Magent neighborhood. Over the years, the Gallery has forecasted multiple new and upcoming designers, establishing the premises as one of the most revered platforms for avant-garde design. Rossana started her activity focusing on the rising Dutch design wave, but the research has moved widely around the world.
Exhibiting at Spazio Rossana Orlandi has become a ticket to the top for Piet Hein Eek, Maarten Baas, Nacho Carbonell, Jayme Haion, and many others whose names are now well-known in the world of design. When Tom Dixon, Marcel Wanders, and Studio Job were rising stars, she quickly realized what they were to become and opened the doors of her gallery for their works.
The gallery space is articulated in an untraditional way, combining a showroom, a retail store, offices and a courtyard for events and meeting, creating a unique atmosphere where everything is in balance. In addition to the legendary spot in Milan, Rossana Orlandi also operates the summer-season outpost in the resort town of Porto Cervo, Sardinia.
Graduate from University of Quebec in Montreal in environment design, Marc Bherer has work as an interior designer for over a decade within René Desjardins Design (www.rdesjardins.com).

Founded in 1986 by René Desjardins, the René Desjardins Design has acquired over the years a sterling reputation for performance and is presently ranked among the most respected professional interior design firms.
Magnus Ström founded Ström Architects in 2010.
He came from Sweden to study architecture at Portsmouth University in 1995, graduating at the top of his class with a first in his BA(Hons) Degree and winning two awards for degree projects. After work in London and Winchester, he continued his studies to gain a Distinction in his Diploma, and also receive the post-graduate RIBA South Region Award for outstanding design work, as well as being nominated for the RIBA Silver Medal.
After his graduation, Magnus joined the esteemed Dublin practice deBlacam and Meagher Architects before being asked to join John Pardey Architects in 2002 in the south of England. Magnus spent 8 years with the practice, and his work included residential, educational and commercial work, both for private and public sector clients. He was responsible for the design of numerous private houses as well as running several large-scale mixed-use projects in London, Dublin and the USA.
Magnus is a part-time studio design-tutor at the School of Architecture in Portsmouth and has taught architecture on the Architecture and Engineering Course at Southampton University. His practice specialises in high quality contemporary architecture, with a strong focus on the design and delivery of unique homes and one-off houses, both in the UK and abroad.
The approach to architecture is not superficial or purely for effect, instead foundation is sought in the basics of human life (the client) and nature (the site/ environment). This inspires the designs and how spaces are created. Through a continuous and careful dialogue with structure, details, material and order, Magnus seeks a holistic and tectonic approach in realising the architectural ideas.
Technology permits our architecture, but our architecture is not defined by it. Instead it helps us to build efficiently in a way that is integral to the architecture as well as being sustainable. The practice strives to create buildings that do not shout, but have an architectural solution that comes across as understated, yet powerful and with soul.
“Architecture must have a soul – it’s own soul that is echoed in every detail. Light and shadow must be delicately balanced to reach the unique and magic point. It should have an independent voice from the people who made it and those that live in it – created by man and for man. This is my mission…” F.D.
“I believe that true architecture cannot stop at the surfaces of a home, but should also develop without a break, like a Moebius strip, from the outside to the interior. In my project the exterior always finds its “natural” homolog within. But more than a simple correspondence (the void that reflects the solid) I enjoy working on two fundamental links: light and natural materials.F. D.
An architect with an international range (France, Switzerland, USA, Montecarlo, Turkey), but with a solid Italian grounding, Federico Delrosso (born in Biella in 1964; graduated from the Milan Polytechnic in 1996) within a few years has gained wide experience in the design of a very wide range of types of architecture: private housing, restaurants (for the catering industry), a rehabilitation centre, office buildings … numerous projects of interior design but also industrial design.
His early experience in the field has consolidated a talent and a distinctive sensibility for spaces, perceived in his projects as an intangible quality which Federico Delrosso calls “the emotional fourth dimension”. In other words, in his interiors as well as his architectures, the result of the masterly relationship between three-dimensional spaces and the elaboration of surfaces is always a sense of pleasant balance, typical of fine architecture.
Know for joining together beauty and sustainability, Fábio Galeazzo work with timelessness.
Creative in everything he proposes, he mixes materials with colors in a feisty and fearless way. Being know for a professional that don’t repeats himself, his work has soul, where the past and the comtemporary live together in total harmony. He plays with the diachrony completely free and this is one of the trademarks of his language. Reread the time in the objects and the objects of time with his own style.

Кен Смит закончил Гарвардскую высшую школу дизайна, в 1986 году получив степень Магистра ландшафтной архитектуры. В 1992 году, успев к тому моменту поработать в офисах таких мэтров, как Питер Уолкер и Марта Шварц, открыл собственное бюро Ken Smith Landscape Architect в Нью-Йорке. С 1992 по 1996 годы преподавал в Городском колледже Нью-Йорка, с 1997 года читает лекции в Гарвардской высшей школе дизайна, преподаёт по всему миру. Кен Смит состоит в совете Архитектурной лиги Нью-Йорка, активно занимается защитой и сохранением современных объектов ландшафтной архитектуры.
В 2006 году проект Смита East River Waterfront на Нижнем Манхэттене был удостоен премии Waterfront Award. Проект представляет собой превращение плотно застроенной набережной длинной в 2 мили в озелененную пешеходную многофункциональную эспланаду. В 2011 году Кен Смит стал лауреатом премии Колледжа дизайна Государственного института Айовы Christian Petersen Design Award. Одной из самых известных работ Смита является проект сада на крыше здания нью-йоркского Музея современного искусства Roof Garden, основными элементами которого являются белый гравий, переработанные автомобильные покрышки, битое стекло, художественный камень и искусственное дерево, образующее камуфляжный рисунок.
Вместе с командой THINK Team в 2002 году Кен Смит участвовал в конкурсе World Trade Center. Выиграл тендер на строительство парка площадью 526 га в округе Ориндж, штат Калифорния. Другим масштабным проектом Смита является ландшафт территории башни World One в индийском Мумбаи. В 2013 году Кен Смит выступил в качестве члена жюри проектов парка «Зарядье» в Москве.
Многие идеи Смита не укладываются в рамки традиционных типологий ландшафтной архитектуры, таких как площадь, улица или сад; он вдохновляется различными культурными традициями, влияющими на современный городской ландшафт. Смит занимается проектами разных масштабов и типов — это временные инсталляции, частные сады, общественные пространства, парки и коммерческие проекты.
Возглавляя проектное бюро «Groupe H», базирующееся в Швейцарии, Франции и Италии, Эрве Дессимо создает образцовые, экологически чистые здания. Получив известность благодаря таким постройкам, как небоскреб «Winterthur Tower» в парижском Дефансе, Дворец Равновесия для ЭКСПО 2002 в Невшателе (Швейцария) – деревянная сфера-павильон в 40 метров в диаметре, ставшая сегодня символом Европейской организации по ядерным исследованиям (ЦЕРН), крупнейший швейцарский отель «Crowne Plaza» в Женеве, новый город-спутник под Киевом или горная стоянка «Refuge du Goûter» на высоте 3’835 метров на Монблане, «Groupe H» получила многочисленные премии и награды от Европы до Азии.
Эрве Дессимо является также политиком, параллельно своей профессиональной деятельности, он был избран в течение 22 лет в парламент Республики и кантона Женевы. И с 2002 года он приступил к благородной борьбе — сохранению планеты для будущих поколений, реализуя экологически чистые здания. Его проекты в Швейцарии, Франции, Италии, Марокко и России, технически очень осмысленные, являются результатом глубоких исследований. Для каждого проекта, он разрабатывает решения по минимизации энергетических потребностей здания, сводя же к минимуму использование невозобновляемых источников энергии, но сохраняя при этом разумные строительные затраты.
«Я не думаю, что каждый архитектор убежден в насущной необходимости комплексного подхода в области устойчивого развития. Доказательством являются наиболее престижные высокоэтажные здания, в которых зачастую очень неэффективно используются соотношения полезных и технических площадей, они — невероятные потребители энергии… или конструкции, в которых сложность деталей, множественность дорогих материалов… граничит с гедонизмом.
Что касается меня, то я убежден, что архитектура на всех уровнях от процесса ли проектирования, до выбора материалов, управления строительством здания или в деконструкции, должна быть построена в соответствии с высокими критериями измерения устойчивости. Главный вопрос: является ли архитектор активным гражданином в действии для спасения нашей планеты? Для меня ответ — безусловно да!» Эрве Дессимо
Хельмут Ян заслужил репутацию ультрасовременного прогрессивного архитектора. По словам заведующего кафедрой архитектуры в Институте искусств Чикаго Джона Зуковски, его здания оказали «ошеломляющее» влияние на мир архитектуры.
Ян родился в Германии, учился в Техническом университете Мюнхена. Продолжил обучение в области архитектуры в аспирантуре Технологического университета Иллинойса в США. По окончании учёбы работал в должности архитектора-проектировщика в компании C.F. Murphy Associates под руководством Джина Саммерса. На этом посту Ян разрабатывал выставочный и конференц-центр Маккормик Плейс (McCormick Place) в Чикаго. В 1976 году завершил работу над своим первым высотным объектом Ксерокс Центр (Xerox Centre), который получил самые лестные отзывы критиков.
На сегодняшний день Ян, являясь основателем и главой компании JAHN. Его известность давно вышла за границы США и распространилась в Европе, Африке и Азии. Ян стремится к совершенству в архитектуре и преобразованию городского пространства. Его проекты славятся инновационностью, жизнеспособностью и целостностью. О том, какое восхищение вызывает его работа у публики, говорят бесчисленные публикации в прессе.
Американский институт архитекторов называет Хельмута Яна «одним десяти наиболее влиятельных живущих американских архитекторов». Кроме того, две его работы – комплекс терминала 1 United Airlines международного аэропорта О’Хара и Центр штата Иллинойс – вошли в число десяти лучших архитектурных объектов, построенных в США начиная с 1980 года и принесли ему премию Life Achievement Award в 2012 году.
Хельмут Ян является действительным членом Американского института архитекторов, который семь раз удостаивал его награды National Honor Award. Шестьдесят раз его объекты удостаивались премии Distinguished Building Awards, присуждаемых локальными отделениями Американского института архитекторов. Среди прочих наград можно перечислить Owens-Corning Fiberglass Energy Conservation Award, the Arnold W.Brunner Memorial Prize (награда Американской академии и Института искусств и литературы) и многие другие.
Окончив с отличием Уральскую Государственную Архитектурно-Художественную Академию в 1999 году, Николай Берсенев изучал архитектуру в Страсбургской Высшей Архитектурной Школе и Европейском Университете Архитектуры и Градостроительства (Франция). Знание четырех иностранных языков позволило ему расширить географический диапазон своих проектов и успешно сотрудничать с такими мэтрами мировой архитектуры как Норман Фостер, Чарльз Дженкс и Мишель Режембаль.
Его работы, ориентированные на вопросы устойчивого развития, обновляемые источники энергии и инновации в архитектуре всё больше привлекают международное внимание. В период c 1998г. по 2007г. он неоднократно участвовал в составе жюри в проведении международных архитектурно-градостроительных мастерских в г.Сержи-Понтуаз (Франция).
Спектр проектов Николая Берсенева включает в себя реализованные постройки в Швейцарии, Франции и России. Одним из обсуждаемых событий в мире европейской архитектуры стал проект высокогорной автономной стоянки для альпинистов Refuge du Goûter на Монблане, получив высокую оценку международного жюри «Евразийской Премии» в сезоне 2012-2013гг.
Его многочисленные награды включают Iconic Awards и German Design Award от немецкого Совета по формообразованию и дизайну (Rat für Formgebung) в 2013г. и 2014г., а также Sustainable Development Award в Женеве (Швейцария) и специальный приз Торгово-промышленной палаты Франция-Швейцария в 2012г.
С 2008 года Николай является ведущим архитектором швейцарского бюро Groupe-H, предлагающее комплексные проектные услуги на европейском рынке в области архитектуры, градостроительства и инженерии.
Сергей Орешкин — автор более 20 известных зданий в Санкт-Петербурге. Ряд неординарных проектов последних лет являются особой гордостью архитектора. Как, например, проект Российского центра науки и культуры в Кабуле (2012), проект планировки квартала в г. Уфа (2014), проект спортивного комплекса для команды СКА в Санкт-Петербурге (2013), проект здания областного суда в Нижнем Новгороде (2013), проект отеля в Саранске (2014), проект жилого комплекса «Морская резиденция» (2014).
Сергей Орешкин является членом Градостроительного совета Санкт-Петербурга и правления Санкт-Петербургского Союза Архитекторов, а так же председателем коллегии НП «Объединение архитектурных мастерских». С 1991 года возглавляет собственную архитектурную мастерскую «А.Лен», где за 23 года были выполнены сотни проектов, многие из которых успешно реализованы как в Санкт-Петербурге, так и в других городах России. В настоящее время Архитектурное бюро «А.Лен» входит в десятку наиболее успешных мастерских Петербурга.
Проекты Сергея Орешкина отличает авторский подход и последовательные обращения к современным модернистским течениям в архитектуре в новых районах Санкт-Петербурга. Работы в исторической части города основаны на контекстуальной средовой оценке окружающей застройки. Основной мотив при разработке архитектурной композиции домов в центре города – это создание не диссонирующих объектов, а находящихся в равноправном диалоге с окружающим пространством.
Сергей Орешкин — лауреат нескольких премий международного фестиваля «Зодчество», награждён медалью Союза архитекторов России «За высокое творческое мастерство», дипломом Международной Академии Архитектуры за достижения в развитии современной архитектуры, дипломом Российской академии художеств «за развитие традиций в современной архитектуре» дипломом I степени независимого национального архитектурного рейтинга «Золотая Капитель», почетным дипломом «Знака соответствия» Всемирного клуба петербуржцев, гран-при международного фестиваля дизайна и архитектуры «Евразийская премия», а так же другими наградами престижных архитектурных конкурсов.
Закончил Высшую школу архитектуры ассоциации архитекторов в Лондоне. В возрасте 23 лет он принял участие в конкурсе проектов Центра Жоржа Помпиду в Париже, уступив только победителям Ренцо Пьяно и Ричарду Роджерсу.
После непродолжительного периода работы на Максвелла Фрая, Джейн Дрю и Родерика Хэма, в 1981 году Уильям основал бюро Alsop & Lyall в Хаммерсмите. Первым большим проектом Олсопа был бассейн в городе Шерингеме (Норфолк, Великобритания), построенный в 1984 году, вторым – центр для туристов в Кардифф Бэй (Великобритания). Затем было множество проектов в Германии, среди которых гамбургский паромный терминал. В 1994 году он обошёл Норманна Фостер в конкурсе проекта дома регионального правительства в Марселе Hôtel du Département des Bouches-du-Rhône. В 2000 году пути Олсопа и Штёрмера разошлись, и в результате появилось бюро Alsop Architects.
После многочисленных перемен бюро Олсопа приобрело название АLL Design, которое носит и по сей день. Офисы бюро работают в Лондоне и Чунцине (Китай).
Олсоп является кавалером Ордена Британской Империи, 18 мая 2000 года избран членом Королевской академии художеств.
В 2004 году Уильям Олсоп выпустил книгу Supercity («Супергород»), в которой он описал своё видение города будущего, и которая вызвала широкое публичное обсуждение. Издание The Times писало даже, что заместитель премьер-министра Великобритании Джон Прескотт был одним из сторонников идей Олсопа, высказанных им в книге. Между тем, труд архитектора вызвал немало критики.
Несмотря на то, что работы Олсопа оцениваются неоднозначно, они сумели принести ему международное признание и славу – его иногда называют «третьим в иерархии британских архитекторов после Роджерса и Фостера». Как и коллега по цеху Заха Хадид, Олсоп осуществил сравнительно небольшую часть своих проектов – по его собственным подсчётам, около 10%. Как говорит сам Уильям, «архитектурой, как и теннисом, нужно заниматься всегда, независимо от того, есть у тебя клиент или нет. Я абсолютно убеждён в этом. Ты можешь дать волю фантазии в черновиках – в данном случае, наличие или отсутствие заказчика не играет никакой роли».
В апреле 2007 издание The Observer писало, что подход Олсопа к архитектуре можно описать его собственным высказыванием: «Я люблю людей. Надеюсь, это видно».
