2011年世界建筑节奖情况介绍

它以在米兰的大学建筑成为我们首届建筑节的首届大奖获得者，还有扎哈·哈迪德——她在第三届建筑节以在罗马设计的现代艺术博物馆获奖）；也有擅长景观设计的事务所（如土人景观）；还有一些刚刚崭露头角的事务所，想借助参加世界建筑节的机会，接触一些规模更大、经验更为丰富的公司。

回想2008年我们启动第一届建筑节的时候，正是世界经济刚开始走向严重困顿状态的时候。可以说，全世界许多地方的专业人士在这最初的4年中都举步维艰。当然，也并非到处皆然，有一些国家仍产生了一波又一波的建设高潮和城市化浪潮，譬如中国，一直以来都把建筑和城市建设列为其政治部署和媒体战略的一部分。

今年的建筑节仍将是一个由各种活动组成的夹心蛋糕，但也会有额外的配料和风味。主办方的称谓也有所改变——世界建筑节现在是美国爱戴爱会展传播集团（i2i Events Group）的下属项目，该集团在世界各地组织了许多大规模的会展活动，其中一些就在亚洲举办。我们期望能在新加坡见到众多中国建筑师，也希望能和曾在最初4年中支持我们的朋友再续前缘。□

2011年世界建筑节奖分为3个授奖领域：建成建筑，结构设计，未来项目。建成建筑领域包括16个类别：市民和社区类，文化类，展陈类，健康类，假日类，住宅类，集合住宅类，景观类，教育类，旧建筑改造类，办公类，生产类，商业类，体育类，交通类和别墅类。未来项目领域针对处于设计进程中的方案，包括10个类别：基础设施类，商业类，竞赛方案类，文化类，教育类，实验项目类，健康类，景观类，规划类和居住类。结构设计领域则涵盖了玻璃、木材和石材等多种建筑材料类别。

参奖项目的征集从2011年4月1日开始，截止到6月30日。这一年是世界建筑节创办后的第4年，竞赛吸引了来自59个国家的704件作品参赛，是迄今为止最多的一届。2011年8月，包括281个项目的入围名单公布。2011年11月2日－4日，入围者在世界建筑节的巴塞罗那会场亲自向国际评委会展示他们的作品，竞争各类别的奖项。最终，超级评委会成员投票选出获得2011年度世界建筑奖、未来项目奖和结构项目奖的作品。

2011年世界建筑节的参赛作品来自世界各地，从南半球的塔斯马尼亚岛到挪威北极圈内，既有一些新的国家如利比亚、海地、柬埔寨的加入，也有很多作品来自那些多次出现在入围名单中的地方，比如，美国、英国、澳大利亚、中国、日本、西班牙、斯堪的纳维亚地区等。既有像扎哈·哈迪德和福斯特与合伙人事务所这样的知名建筑师设计的作品，也有小型的、鲜有人知的事务所的项目。在全球极具挑战性的经济气候背景下，该年的参赛项目体现出了对使用符合实践、美学和经济因素的材料和建造工艺的创新型建筑的持续需要。

2011年的超级评委会成员包括：美国纽约迈克尔·索金工作室的主持人迈克尔·索金、南非内罗—沃尔夫建筑师事务所的主持人乔·内罗、中国北京土人景观的俞孔坚教授和英国杜赫斯特—麦克法兰事务所的合伙人提姆·麦克法兰。

embarking on their first overseas buildings. There are practices run by women (for example Grafton Architects, who were our first major winner with their university building in Milan, and Zaha Hadid who won in Year 3 with here museum of modern art in Rome); there are practices (like Turenscape) who specialise in landscape design; there are some firms who are relatively new and who attend WAF in order to network with larger more experienced firms.

By the time we launched our first event, back in 2008, the world economy had started to run into very serious trouble. It is true to say that the first four years have been tough going for much of the profession in many parts of the world. But of course that is not universally true, and there have been waves of construction and urbanization in countries such as China which have kept architecture and urbanism on the political and media agenda.

This year's Festival will be the usual layer cake of activities, but this year with extra ingredients and flavour. And our owner's name has changed: WAF is now part of the i2i Events Group which runs largescale events around the world, several in Asia. We look forward to seeing many Chinese architects in Singapore, and to renewing our ties with those who have supported us in our first four years.□
