The Architecture Competitions Yearbook is an innovative publication that responds to the everlasting competition culture inside the architecture realm. It prepares anyone looking to participate in a competition in the best way possible; by giving an inside look into the minds of the architects who won past competitions and answering what we all want to know. How did you come up with that? What software did you use? How long were you working on the project? These answers are gold when you understand how important this kind of insight is to a person going into a competition. Overall it is a book worth having.
@letsshowitbetterThe Yearbook is an incredible resource for architects and students, as it not only compiles incredible projects, but also details the project's development. It answers a lot of questions students and young professionals have, providing exclusive advise from experienced professionals along with beautiful visuals, renders, and parti diagrams. You can learn everything about winning competitive competitions to the basics of what makes a “good” project. It's an excellent resource and can really help others understand architectural projects and experience one's line of thought.
@Perri.ArchThe architecture competitions yearbook for 2020 was a great step up from 2019. Introducing the section about “How they won” gives a deeper insight into the projects. It helps other students learn what they did well and what they would have improved if they were to do it again. While going through the book, it provided me with ideas of my own that I applied to my own projects. There was certainly a lot packed in to the book and a lot to take away. I’m keen to see what’s in the 2022 publication and of course, excited to see the winning projects of 2022.
@SuccesfullArchiStudentThe architecture competitions yearbook is an essential resource in every architectural student’s repertoire. With over 200 pages, 3 interviews, and over 30 awarded projects, this book guides students on their path to becoming successful architects. By sharing the design process of these winning projects, students can understand how to design the “secret formula” – The secret behind awarded submissions. It clears any questions or doubts that students might have about competitions in an inspiring way. Therefore, students are more likely to participate in a competition as they believe it is obtainable. It also continues to develop with every publication, and one cannot help but wonder what this book might become in the future. So, I cannot recommend this book enough as it provides tremendous value for architects and students worldwide.
