World Architecture Festival 2013: Submit your works!
Once again we have partnered with the World Architecture Festival, the world’s largest festival (with live awards) for the global architecture community, to be held in October in Singapore.
The format of the event is unique as the professionals of the participating firms present to, and receive live feedback and commendation from, the WAF’s jury, which this year includes architects such as such as William Alsop, Sir Peter Cook, Sou Fujimoto, Dietmar Eberle, Jeanne Gang, Marcio Kogan, and Ole Scheeren, among many others. It will be a live architecture performance, where you will debate, learn and be inspired.
The World Architecture Festival also includes a seminar and keynotes with renowned international architects (full list TBA). In these and other activities, you will be able to exchange ideas with over 2000 architects representing more than 65 countries, as well as broaden your horizons and your contacts.
Another interesting aspect of the WAF is the location. Held in Singapore at the Marina Bay Sands, the WAF positions itself in the center of the Southeast Asia, a region with unprecedented growth, where opportunities are constantly opening for architects.
Please note that the deadline for entries has been extended until June 10th. You can find more info about the award categories and how to enter here.

Cathleen McGuigan: “Women and the Changing World of Architecture”
In this video, Cathleen McGuigan, editor-in-chief of Architectural Record, discusses gender within the professional setting, specifically within the world of architecture at the Harvard GSD. As she begins, she addresses the question that most people have when such a topic is approached. ”Why are we still talking about this?” McGuigan lays out the position of women in architecture and the rational that still supports inequality, however subconscious, within the profession. Referencing Sheryl Sandberg’s new book Lean In, McGuigan shows how this topic is still unresolved and still needs to be discussed in the public forum.
