This competition released 8 top winners and 8 honorable winners out of more than 250 entries. The requirements were pretty tough and congratulations to the above project team! It was very challenging I have to say.

Don’t get me wrong. It is not about trusting a jury, its about reporting the whole story, you can show honorable mentions with a questionable masterplan such as this one, but why not also first prize? Anyway this was corrected already. Thanks to the team.

To answer the second part, quality first, not quantity! We all prefer that for architecture, so why not for architecture blogs and e-zines too?

[...] shared Aboutblank’s honorable mention housing project for the Istanbul Kayabasi Housing Design Competition earlier, yet the firm was also awarded first [...]

do you only want to see the winner project always at architectural competitions? do you really trust the jury’s decision for all competitions and treat the projects with their prizes? don’t you want to see more ideas and projects about that problem? you said “Sure there will be plenty of news if every architecture website starts to report about all the entries of every competition”..isn’t it a satisfying situation for architecture?? seeing more graphics,more and more projects, diagrams, ideas, drawings, graphics etc. don’t you want to have your own ideas about a project competititon.?

Not only that the project itself is nothing exceptional, but why talking about honorable mentions ?

Sure there will be plenty of news if every architecture website starts to report about all the entries of every competition, but i’m wondering why this one and why this project only, what about the winner ?

well, it looks like one of those 70s projects that were just torn down some years ago. Putting running and activ people in the renderings will not really make it an attractive project when it’s build, i’m afraid.
