Next year's prize destination will be announced at the event. Liu Zhenghao ~ Winner, BA (Arch) Category A work recognized for the excitement it has evoked through the dreams in its exploration of the possibility of materials and technology. It is a very good attempt to break boundaries of conventions, literally and metaphorically in the exploration of the surfaces and their atmospheric effects with light. The work evokes poetry in its presentation of the process and the imagery. Cheng Boon Tiong Raymond ~ Winner, M (Arch) Category A work recognized for the fluid spatial atmosphere it evokes. Through a careful exploration of technology, movement, volumes and surfaces, a liquid soft cool space, something that has not been seen before is created. Kho Keguang ~ Merit Prize, BA (Arch) Category A work of merit recognized for its exceptional competence in employing technology to realize a spatial quality. It feels like a very real piece of work. Cheryl Lim Zi Ying ~ Merit Prize, BA (Arch) Category A work of merit recognized for its very high degree of detail resolution of technology to create an atmosphere conducive to its functions. Chua Kwan Seng Christopher ~Merit Prize, M (Arch) Category A work that is highly competent, very robust and exciting. It displays a certain raw primitiveness in its explorations of how wooden technology could frame activities and spatial qualities. Poh Choon Hock ~Merit Prize, M (Arch) Category A work highly commended for its very sensitive exploration of spatial qualities and connections. Through appropriate orchestration of space volumes and levels articulated with screens, it is able to create the elegant excitement in moving through the spaces. We thank all the applicants for their efforts and look forward to receiving entries from Architecture and Industrial Design students at the next round of the competition.
