Aerogel Architecture Award 2022

Aerogel Architecture Award 2022 je súťaž pre architektov, stavetných inžinierov a študentov. Do druhého ročníku medzinárodne súťaže môžu účastníci posielať projekty, na ktorých bol použitý aerogél ako izolačný materiál. Výzva je určená tiež študentom, ktorí sa môžu zapojiť prostredníctvom ideových návrhov s využitím tepelnoizolačných, akustických alebo translucentných vlastností aerogélov.

Vyhlasovateľom medzinárodnej je Empa (švajčiarsky federálny materiálový výskumný inštitút). Ako sekretár súťaž organizačne zabezpečuje Michal Ganobjak (Aerogel building integration Laboratory for Building Energy Materials and Components).

We are delighted to invite you to submit your examples of aerogel use in architecture, construction, refurbishment and monument preservation as built solutions or student projects. We are searching for the top realized projects internationally to showcase the best projects of architects, civil engineers and students of these fields. The best projects selected by our jury will be shortlisted for our Aerogel Architecture Awards ceremony hosted near Zurich at NEST Empa campus, which will give broad recognition to the projects. The projects will be published in relevant international publications and portals. The award celebrates the best examples with regards to energy efficiency, unconventional solutions, translucent daylighting, high performing buildings solutions with use of superinsulating aerogel materials.

SUBMISSION CONDITIONS
Architectural and civil engineering studios can submit realized project of renovation, refurbishment or new buildings locat-ed in any country and place. Students of architecture and civil engineering can submit their proposals and design studio projects with use of aerogels. The award is communicated in English. Projects should be no older than three years. Highly encouraged are submissions of realized projects of renovation or protected buildings, refurbished buildings and new build-ings where the energy efficiency was improved using aerogel insulation materials or translucency of silica aeorgels is used. Winners will be invited to Switzerland for the announcement event, which will take place at the NEST building at the Empa campus in Duebendorf (Zurich). The winners will receive a memorial trophy and will be invited to introduce shortly their project within ca. 10 minutes to broader audience. Please send a ZIP or RAR file (max. 20MB) to email michal.ganobjak@empa.ch (secretary) untill deadline. Files to download (poster layout).

1 PDF A1 size poster (portrait) with plans, section, photographs and linear drawings (poster layout to download higher)
1-3 pcs JPEG - cover photos of the project, which will be used in media and webpages, high resolution
