The FIBRA Award rewards teams that incorporate plant-based materials in their buildings while proposing innovative solutions, giving added value to local resources and know-how, and taking into account aesthetic values. The ambition of its initiators is to promote the current dynamics that encourage the use of locally-sourced bio-based materials.

The prize focuses on the use of bamboo, reed, hemp, flax, straw, rattan, palm, industrial by-products (bagasse, peanut shell, rice husk, coconut fiber, etc.), collected waste (paper, cardboard, textiles, pallet wood, etc.), seaweed, etc. Buildings with wooden structures, which are already the subject of many awards, are not considered for the FIBRA

With Den-City – Urban Landscape, Sergei Tchoban lets us feel the essence of density: façades of the buildings are pushing pedestrians, dangling street cables are covering the view of the sky, and places hum about merging of stone, glass and steel. And suddenly moments of complete silence latch on the viewer, as a thinking break from all the dust and noise.

In his drawings, which were created mainly during his travels Tchoban captures not only the flickering atmosphere of Asian metropolises, but also the urban jungle of an American city. With the city characteristics seen and experienced, the artist composes breathtaking

The term Low-resolution precedes Houses in order to make the exhibition-goer think about houses through this double technological and representational-aesthetic lens. All 44 houses exhibited fall into one or more of the following categories of Low-resolution: first, houses that vaguely resemble houses, using familiar house elements, such as pitched roofs, etc.; second, houses that appear to be constructed, in that you can see the construction, joints and the materials, there is a sort of cheap unfinished quality to the work; and third, houses that are composed of basic geometric primitives—squares, circles, triangles—arranged in a non-compositional or abstract manner. By these

Humans have been enshrining and memorializing their dead for millennia. While forms and rituals vary widely across cultures and religions, we are nonetheless reacting to similar desires: memorializing a life, coping with loss, religious symbolism, returning to nature, etc.

The realities of the world today have imposed additional restrictions and opportunities on internment: rapid population growth, densifying urban areas, limited space, environmental concerns, and digitization—all factors that could lead architects to reimagine our own exit.

Exit Architecture is a speculative look at designing for the afterlife in all of its potential architectural and design forms, and new ways of marking our

“A new school, probably the only indigenous one in the United States” is how the architect Donald MacDonald described Bruce Goff and Herb Greene’s influence on the University of Oklahoma School of Architecture from 1947 through the 1960s. The famous architects transformed the ways architecture was learned, taught and practiced, creating a uniquely American architectural style now represented in an archive at the University of Oklahoma Libraries and displayed in an exhibition in Bizzell Memorial Library.
