An honorary award will go to the Architects' Client of the Year. Nominations will be made by the jury as well as representatives of the trade media.
Last year, the architectural firm AL-A was awarded the title of Architects of the Year. The London-based office founded by the architect Amanda Levete in 2009 succeeded from the very beginning in impressing the experts with fascinating designs, including the modernization of the Galeries Lafayette in Paris, the V&A Museum in London and the Central Embassy, a shopping mall in Bangkok. The Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT) in Lisbon, completed in 2016, likewise created a sensation.
The jury's pick for the title of Interior Designers of the Year was the designer duo Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu, who have been creating spectacular projects with their Neri&Hu Design and Research Office for many years, ranging from architecture in space to furniture design. By questioning the traditional use of spaces, things and materials as such and continuously placing them in new contexts, they create uniquely beautiful designs with their typical signature time and again.
The prize of honor Architects' Client of the Year, which honors the fostering of a holistic understanding of architecture on the part of a contracting company, was awarded to the City of Hamburg for the spectacular concert hall Elbphilharmonie.
The Elbphilharmonie, which opened in 2017, is not merely another concert hall, but a world-class architectural icon of inestimable cultural value. Bringing the project to fruition despite immense delays and huge cost overruns required people with visionary power, courage and stamina, particularly on the part of the client.
