ARCHITECTS SELECT THE
2007 INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AWARDS
FOR THE BEST NEW GLOBAL DESIGN
The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and
Metropolitan Arts Press Ltd. announce new distinguished buildings and
urban planning projects selected this year in the Museum's prestigious
"International Architecture Awards®" program for 2007. The program was
launched by the Museum in 2005 as a way in which to honor and celebrate
the most outstanding architecture designed and built throughout the world.
The Chicago Athenaeum, established in the historic city where modern
architecture was first realized by Louis H. Sullivan, Frank Lloyd
Wright, and Mies van der Rohe, is the only Museum of Architecture and
Design in the United States and functions internationally as one of the
foremost museums dedicated to both architecture and industrial design.
In addition to the annual "International Architecture Awards" program,
the Museum also organizes the most prominent world-wide competition for
industrial design. "GOOD DESIGN®" was founded in Chicago by Charles and
Ray Eames and Eero Saarinen in 1950, and the Museum continues this
historic awards program, which attracts the most prominent designers and
manufacturers internationally from BMW, Apple Computers, IBM, Siemens,
Philips, to global electronics, furniture, household products and
medical equipment, awarding anything and everything from a "spoon to a
new city."
For "International Architecture Awards" 2007, the Museum received
hundreds of submissions from the best and most renowned design firms in
Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. The submissions
ranged from new corporate headquarters, skyscrapers, institutions,
sports and transportation facilities, airports, urban planning projects,
sacred spaces, and private residences and multi-family housing designed
by architects in their countries of origin or abroad for both built and
unbuilt projects alike, as of January 1, 2003.
The Awards Program was open to all international architecture offices
and U.S. firms with projects outside the United States. (U.S.
submissions are judged annually for "The American Architecture
Award.")
