This is the sixteenth time that the society of architecture fans and experts of the
Worldarchitecture.org portal have granted their awards. The contest, which judges the creativity, originality and novelty of architectural projects, is divided into two parts: one of the awards is granted by the registered users of the portal (ordinary readers and architecture fans) and the other by the honorary members, which means architects, and those involved with field of architecture – critics, historians, journalists and curators.
The evaluation covers all of the projects submitted to the editors of Worldarchitecture.org portal throughout the year by architects from all over the world. Projects belonging to various categories – from single-family homes and upgrades of existing buildings to huge public facilities and skyscrapers – are evaluated.
Each year, the Worldarchitecture.org community selects the ten best projects and the honorary members select twenty. What matters is the number of points awarded to each presented project by all members of this community. In 2014, two works from Poland were among the most highly rated works. One was chosen by the more than more than two hundred and fifty honorary members and the other by the still growing group of registered users, numbering 18 thousand at the beginning of 2014.
The project of a single family home located in the mountains and developed by Warsaw’s
81.WAW.PL studio was appreciated by the specialist committee of honorary members. The house with its expressive silhouette has a form which is a paraphrase of soaring mountain peaks and its character its defined by a angled roof.
