Sensory Scene No.1 by Kristián Vnučko & Alexander Topilin

Highly Commended for Digital Media Award 2024

Czech Republic

‘Sensory Scene traces back to the architecture of the Roman thermal baths of Curinga. The structur of the new pavilion protects and exhibits the Imperial Era archaeological site complex, highlighting its original symmetrical plan of the baths with a frigidarium in its center.

This concentric structure wraps around the ruins of the Roman thermal baths and creates a mystery worth exploring. The pavilion as a whole offers all curious visitors a new perspective on the affected abandoned ruins, that stand as an evidence of advanced engineering and socio-cultural significance which might be overlooked in the rich and lush landscape of its surroundings.’

Train-wind Landscape by Farinoosh Hadian Jazy

Commended for Digital Media Award 2024

Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL

‘Green spaces within our cities are becoming increasingly separated by the construction of infrastructure. To preserve the remaining vegetation in urban areas, we need to regenerate the connections between different green spaces. Through these connections, the green spaces can help each other cure and share. This project proposes to create wind connections in our cities through the landscaping and reformation of left-over portions of land adjacent to train lines. The trains create artificial wind flows which can improve the wind connection between different green spaces, encouraging the growth and spread of these spaces within our cities.’

(Re)making an Interior Architecture by Claudine Fang

Special Mention for Digital Media Award 2024

National University of Singapore

‘(Re)making an Interior Architecture speculates how a burgeoning ‘Do-It-Yourself’ culture reframes the role of repair in architecture, demonstrating how spaces occupied by Singapore’s disadvantaged society are mended to suit their needs. Shifting from the scale of object intervention to spatial configuration, warped perspectives of sections highlight the unfolding of everyday events.’

Une École, Un Sentier by Épigraphe Architectes; Nathan Bonneville, Pierre-Charles Gauthier, Marco Chimienti, Kevin Partyka & Jonathan Kabumbe

Special Mention for Digital Media Award 2024

Canada

‘For Épigraphe, the graphic representation of ideas and concepts have the potential to transcend the barriers of language to communicate our ambitions and visions universally. For us, the use of post realist architecture representation is not a question of stylistic preference, but is rather linked to the desire to illustrate atmospheres and social interactions that allow the viewer to imagine themselves within the proposed architecture.Through its graphic rendering, it seeks to emulate the experience of living in an inclusive architecture. The use of an axonometric drawing helps to establish an understanding of programmatic relationships while highlighting the human interactions within the created spaces.’

El Fin De La Ciudad by Jordi Guijarro Contreras

Special Mention for Digital Media Award 2024

Universidad de Alicante, Spain

‘This drawing is part of my Master's Thesis "Antigona Acelerada" (Accelerated Antigone), an architectural approach to Sophocles' Antigone reimagined in an accelerated future. Simultaneously, this work serves as an experimental encounter with end-of-the-world imaginaries by the exploration of the aesthetics and lifestyles of a fast-paced future.

The drawing depicts the first scene, "El fin de la ciudad" (The end of the city), when, after the war, Antigone finds his brother's dead body. The end of the city triggers a response from nature, a moment of divine intervention. The destruction of the accelerated city of Tebas reveals it as a set in constant decay and resurgence, a seductive disguise of reborn antiquity.’
