  • Entrant: Arindam Bose & Minali Singh
  • Location: Qatar
  • Category: Integrated Building Design
  • About: This entry could be carbon neutral and could potentially be off-grid. This entry considered cool tubes, PV for lights, water management, shadows from the green wall, green in one direction brick in the other direction. It focuses on orientation and thermal mass strategies.
  • Entrant: Hector Alejandro Modica De Caso & Lourdes Ivonne Del Rio Suarez
  • Location: Mexico
  • Category: Integrated Building Design
  • About: This winning entry is as brick as brick can get! Masonry is used in a variety of different ways, vault, texture, floor, color range, thermal details, and other design features. This entry is rich in biophilic design, and is most certainly a compelling place to visit.
  • Entrant: Gary Vincent & Eric Haskins
  • Location: United States
  • Category: Integrated Building Design
  • About: This design extends brick as a filigree wall, as a fence, as a scrim wall, and as a barrel vaulting with a consideration for daylight. Brick contributes to energy efficient design by its incorporation into the retaining walls, patio, assembly and disassembly, and trombe wall.
  • Entrant: Flora Bougiatioti, Maria Eftychi & Aimlios Michael
  • Location: Cyprus
  • Category: Technical Design
  • About: Bioclimatic adaptation is evident here where components are varied based on what you need to create for the system, and it is great in this regard. This entry has the richest expression for architecture, even without color variation.
  • Entrant: Kenfield Griffith
  • Location: United States
  • Category: Technical Design
  • About: The most interesting facet of this entry is the simple and effortless method used to aerate the manufacturing materials. If focused on local production, flat interlocking panels could make transportation and assembly of the forms easy.
  • Entrant: Rizal Muslimin
  • Location: United States
  • Category: Technical Design
  • About: Visual diversity and the bending out of the surface of the wall are interesting possibilities.  There is a rediscovery of rich patterning; five possibilities in the language of expression. This entry emulates very unique uses of brick.
