ENTRIES
Archiprix International received 173 entries. The overall high-quality of the all entries needs to be mentioned. The diversity scale ranged from simple or complex buildings to fragmentary or total urban models and landscaped geography. A wide variety of projects focused on the relationship of architecture and landscape, sustainibility, contextual and ecological issues. In their formal expression, the entries shed light on a rich vocabulary of design. >
SELECTION PROCESS
The Archiprix International jury is grateful to the overall preview by a preliminary Turkish committee (Hülya Yürekli, Cana Bilsel, Cem Ilhan, Murat Ulu, and Sevki Pekin that prepared a brief description of all projects and highlighted 51 projects with notable features.
The jury meeting took place on 17th and 18th of June 2003 at the Istanbul Technical University (ITU). Following the setting up process of the preliminary working principles, the jury members, first individually then by group, examined all projects, and proposed nine more entries to be included to the preliminary selection of the Turkish committee. The jury's deliberations took two days. As a result, out of 60 projects, our jury nominates 19 projects according to the following criteria.
CRITERIA
The extent of the combination of a clear conceptual beginning, a readable process based on research and rigourous thinking, and a readable presentation; the appreciation of conceptually strongest position; the validation of focusing on serious real world conditions (green-house, sustainability, ecological issues; post-industrial locations, and similar problematic areas);
the extent of architectural engagement in this conceptual condition; and the extent of innovation and creativity addressing topical issues of worldwide concern guided the jury's choice. The nominated projects distinguished themselves by embodying one or more of the architectural virtues extolled above.
