Leisure projects celebrated in international Green Good Design Awards
A host of eco-friendly leisure projects have been recognised in the 2016 Green Good Design Awards, handed out by Chicago’s Museum of Architecture and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design.
The awards – founded by Eero Saarinen, Edgar Kaufmann Jr and Charles and Ray Eames in 1950 – celebrate the best new projects around the world that have responded to the needs for energy conservation, reducing toxic waste and greenhouse gases, and restricting pollution.
The aim of the awards is to influence architects to embrace greener practices in the design of cities and public spaces, and to raise the issue of the dwindling of global resources.
“We want to bestow international recognition to those concepts that have forwarded exceptional thinking and inspired greater progress toward a healthier and more sustainable universe,” said the competition organisers in a statement.
To be eligible for an award, buildings had to have been designed in the last four years.
In total, 100 design, architecture and urban planning projects from 24 countries have been recognised.
Leisure winners include:
• Naman Retreat and Hay Hay restaurant and bar in Da Nang Vietnam. Design by Vo Trong Nghia.
• Astana Expo City 2017 in Astana, Kazakhstan. Design by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture.
• UC Irvine Contemporary Arts Center in Irvine, California. Design by Ehrlich Architects.
• Jonathan M. Nelson Fitness and Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatics Center in Providence, Rhode Island. Design by Robert A. M. Stern Architects LLC.
