World renowned architects to judge Architectural Awards at Cityscape 2004
Cityscape, the international commercial architecture and property
development event, announced today that they have teamed up with
Architectural Review, the highly acclaimed international publication,
for this year's Architectural Awards at Cityscape 2004 – 'Design for an
Emerging World'.
Architectural Review is the largest international architectural magazine
in the world with an audited circulation of over 20,000 copies.
'The aim of the Cityscape Architectural Review Awards (CARA) is to
recognise and promote excellence in architecture and design in the
region. To have Architectural Review supporting this year's show is
testimony to Cityscape's phenomenal growth in the past three years and
our outstanding reputation amongst the international architecture
fraternity,' said Neil Hickman, Project Manager, IIR.
'Six of the most recognized and acclaimed architects from around the
world will use their knowledge and expertise to judge the entries based
on a number of important criteria including the project's contribution
to world architectural culture, invention and imagination, environmental
awareness and appropriateness,' added Hickman.
Peter Davey OBE, editorial director of Architectural Review, has been
confirmed as one of the judges along with George Ferguson, President of
the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects). Judges from the region
include Suha Ozkan, Secretary General to the Aga Khan Award for
Architecture and Ali Shuaibi, a highly acclaimed Saudi Arabian architect
and planner. Dr. Ken Yeang, an architect, specializing in the design and
planning of 'green' or ecologically-responsive large buildings and sites
and Professor Charles Correa, an Indian architect, planner, activist,
and theoretician known for the wide range of his architectural work in
India and across the Third World complete the panel.
Nad Al Sheba, the official venue for the prestigious Dubai World Cup,
will host the awards ceremony scheduled to take place on the 29th of
November 2004. Over 800 architects, developers and industry
professionals will be invited to attend the ceremony. The evening, which
will include a pre-awards show reception and a sumptuous gala dinner and
entertainment, is set to become the highlight of the international
architectural calendar.
Sponsors for the awards show include Dorma, Swarovski and Degussa. Both
