The Ordre des architectes du Québec 43 finalists for the 2009 Awards of Excellence in Architecture
The awards are bestowed across a wide range of categories, architectures that bears witness to eco-responsible acts and a community of architects who put their hearts into action.
Thirty years after the first Awards of Excellence in Architecture were handed out, the Ordre des architectes du Québec (OAQ) unveils this year’s 40 projects, and three candidates for the Architects in Action Award, each astutely chosen from among the 114 entries received.
The juries—made up of experts and representatives from the public and government agencies under the direction of Grand Jury president French-born German architect, author and journalist Dominique Gauzin-Müller (Stuttgart)—have qualified the architecture of the moment as transitory.
This is architecture that bears witness to more and more eco-responsible actions (economically and ecologically), that focuses on architectural considerations that produce happiness, that has the ability to shape the perception of time and that has an increasing desire to provide visual and sensorial experiences.
These multi-faceted works can be viewed and voted by visitors of the Awards of Excellence in Architecture website and vote for your favourite project by entering the Loto-Québec People’s Choice Award Contest.
