Do you ever look at other students work and think “how the f***?”

Today, I received the key to getting better at architecture. A book containing the best architecture competition submissions of 2020 with explanations of how they won and extra interviews with incredible architects who are absolutely killing it. Let us explore what these guys did to create projects that won global competitions. They have to be doing something right. Let us find out what that is. What’s the secret ingredient to successful architecture projects?

From the Author:

“Each project you do is important – it’s a step forward, an additional element that makes you a better designer. Even the smallest project can contain a big idea. But how to make sure that your projects are good? How to guarantee that there is value behind them? How to deliver a project that will grab the jury’s attention and win recognition? What are the secrets behind winning submissions? Well, we will answer all those questions with this book.

The second issue of ACY showcases 10 of the most inspiring and interesting architectural competitions that took part in 2020. Along with them, we are presenting over 30 complete projects with project boards and descriptions. The main focus of this edition is to understand the design process behind all awarded submissions. That’s why we have asked all 10 winners presented in this book a simple question: “What made you win?”. We share stories where they describe the process step by step and give advice that will allow you to understand their ‘secret formula’ better.”

• What’s the secret behind awarded submissions?
• How to make your presentation board stand out?
• How to create an innovative solution to the given problem?
• What benefits come from participating in the architecture competitions?
• How to grab the attention of a jury panel?

“(…) again thank you for the book. We found it very inspiring. It sets the bar high and challenges you to improve…”

I really like the full bleed pages of graphics and renders – very inspiring. I personally love visual books, I could stare at them forever! It was also good to get an idea of what the winning entries have in common. They showed the design ideas of projects for competitions but I could even implement some of the things i saw for general portfolio work and how to make projects stand out more for presentations.
