Awards


The Media Architecture Awards are given to outstanding projects at the intersection of architecture, media and interaction design. Three projects are nominated in each of the five categories:

  • Animated Architecture: Projects demonstrating creative media facades solutions
  • Money Architecture: Projects illuminating buildings that are closely related to business, banks, shopping centres, and entertainment.
  • Participatory Architecture and Urban Interaction: Interactive media projects that enable local city development from a bottom up perspective.
  • Spatial Media Art and Future Trends and Prototypes: Projects produced in an artistic context at the intersection of architecture and media art, mostly non-permanent movable installations with an innovative form of spatial interaction and/or perception of space.
  • Future Trends and Prototypes: Special solutions like three-dimensional displays, kinetic facades, OLEDs or even robotic elements that could shed light on what future media architectures might look like.
The winners in each category will be announced during the award ceremony on the evening of June 3rd, 2016.
