Quite a difficult job for the eight jury members! On 3-5 July, the jury is carefully inspecting the innovative and sustainable designs of the international projects. For the IOC IAKS Award, 98 submissions from 31 countries have been received on time, while 78 projects from 28 countries have been admitted to the IPC IAKS Award. In terms of competition categories, these are 14 candidates for stadiums, 10 for open spaces, 12 for arenas, 27 for indoor facilities, 11 for pools and 24 for special facilities.
The jury has to decide which sports and leisure facilities will be awarded the coveted IOC IPC IAKS architecture prizes this year. Which pool or wellness complex stands out with its high user quality and sustainable features? Which innovative sports ground or activating public open space will impress the jury? Whatever the project – the small neighbourhood facility or complexes for large events – compelling creative solutions are decisive for the competition.
Let’s wish the jury a good hand at the decision.
