Refuge du Gouter. Laureat of Eurasian Prize. Provided by Groupe-H, Deca-Laage Architecture
Each historical period re-adjusts the concept of architecture so that it meets the current needs of society and responds to growing challenges. The current need for sustainable architecture is based on the evidence that the world is now in the midst of an emergency related to planetary pollution, climate change, and a prolonged pandemic. In its 17th edition, the Eurasian Prize places special emphasis on innovations that correspond with sustainable architecture and regenerative design strategies.
Overall evaluation will be based on the following criteria with their relevance depending on each subcategory:
Industrial — Science and technology hubs and centers, Production facilities, Science parks, Technological clusters, and environmental research and protection facilities.
Large-scale housing — Multi-dwelling units and residential compounds, Mid-Rise and High-Rise Apartment Buildings, Mixed-use buildings.
Low-rise apartment buildings — Apartment buildings and residential complexes up to 4 floors; Townhomes, rowhouses, duplexes/triplexes/quadplexes, garden-style complexes.
Private house — Mansions, villas, cottages, and adjacent territory.
Public building — Business and shopping facilities: exhibition centers, congress halls; Stations, airports; HoReCa objects; Spectator sports facilities, sports infrastructure; Mixed-use objects including functionally different groups of premises united by a single compositional and planning intent.
Cultural and cult architecture — Cultural Facilities: concert halls, theatres, cinemas, museums, libraries, galleries, performance spaces; Cult architecture in city fabric: cathedrals, churches, temples, synagogues, mosques, monasteries/retreats.
Heritage architecture — Reconstruction, restoration, revitalization of buildings and complexes; Adaptive Reuse – any creative transformation of old, abandoned, outdated or derelict architecture for an explicitly use, such as converting commercial or industrial buildings to residential use, the renovation of institutional buildings to create new cultural spaces; Conservation, or refurbishment of existing structures or the addition of new components.
Social and administrative buildings — Health facilities: clinics, hospitals; Educational facilities: preschool and school educational institutions, colleges, universities, campuses, laboratories and research centers; Institutional facilities: government buildings, courts, etc.
Emergencies include many of today's scenarios, from natural disasters to hostilities that cause massive
destruction and leave millions of refugees homeless. In the face of these challenges, the role of
architecture has been brought into sharp relief focus. In all cases, the disruption of normality and
the imperative to satisfy basic needs and maintain a decent quality of life become the basis for finding
quick and effective alternatives by way of responding to such urgency.
Therefore, architecture serves as an articulator for each case's specific needs. Designers can help
reimagine how temporary or emergency structures can work.
The aim of this Category is to encourage temporary shelter design for those who don't have a place to live,
to help restore people's right to a comfortable and healthy environment.
This Category includes the following types of entries:
Prefabricated architecture — Technologies and modular systems achieving the following objectives: reduced assembly time, module addition possibility, optimal logistics, easy construction; increased lifespan of foundations and structures, improved heat insulation, easy dismantling.
Emergency housing — Migrant and refugee resettlement projects that provide home for long periods of displacement. Focus is on the use sustainable and easy-to-get materials; space flexibility and multifunctionality.
The jury will assign extra points to the entries which are built around the three-pronged sustainability concept, including and combining social, environmental, and economical aspects. For this reason, participants are asked to specify how their projects relate to the following sustainability aspects and regenerative design strategies:
