Retreat House by Hutker Architects

The Boston Society of Architects shared the four winning projects for the 2010 Unbuilt Awards with us. Each year, the BSA sponsors this award program to honor and promote excellent design. Any project typology can be submitted for review, as long as the project is either purely theoretical or an unbuilt client sponsored project. The four winners show the diversity of the award as the projects vary in program, materiality and, of course, their design strategy. The winning projects and teams include: Land of Giants by Choi & Shine Architects, Playcloud by Nameless Architecture, Retreat House by Hutker Architects and Putting the Farm Back in Farmington by University of Arkansas Community Design Center.

More about the four projects after the break.

Land of Giants by Choi & Shine Architects

For Choi & Shine Architects’ Land of Giants, the firm envisioned a new high-voltage transmission line tower that is “monumental yet human and beautiful.”

Playcloud by Nameless Architecture

Playcloud by Nameless Architecture is a pavilion made of fabric. The weightless space provides a new aesthetic perspective and is also sustainable.

Retreat House by Hutker Architects

Retreat House by Hutker Architects addresses issues around coastal preservation.

Farmington by UArkansas

And for the University of Arkansas’ Putting the Farm Back in Farmington, the students developed a “tool kit” for practically introducing urban gardening into a city.

Architectural educators and architecture students throughout the world are annually invited to submit real or theoretical projects. More on the Boston Society of Architects’ awards programs here.

The american architects Choi + Shine have inspired by the artworks of the artist Elena Paroucheva, and still have plagiarize her ideas. She works in the field of the visual impact of overhead networks: power lines, wind energy sculptures, mobil phone antennas … for over 10 years.

Elena’s pylons – sculptures are beautiful ladies, birds, flowers, cathedrals … according to the landscape of the country. See:http://www.art-elena.com/

Elena Paroucheva inaugurated in 2004 a unique artwork: “Source” – four pylons of a high voltage power line are dressed in colorful dresses, through a tourist and thermal sity visited by 5 million tourists a year. On September every year during the European Heritage Days , the artist is present for a guided tour. Visit to Amnéville les Thermes, France and see the website http://www.electric-art.eu/ .

I call the journalists to present this unique work before pasting the glory to architects plagiarism.
