Delegati Svetskog festivala arhitekture (World Architecture Festival- WAF) u Barseloni, u duhu vizije budućih generacija u projektovanju obekata, predstavljeni su dobitnici WAF godišnjih nagrada za projekte budućnosti.
Ovo je bio treći WAF i druga godina da su u konkurenciji za nagrade projekti budućnosti, promovišući mnogobrojne radove koji su još uvek na crtaćoj tabli. Sa snažnim akcentom na kreativnost, omogućili su uzbudljiv pogled na okruženje budućnosti.
The Arc, na Okupiranoj palestinskoj teritoriji, projektovan od strane Suisman Urban Design-a, iz SAD-a, osvojio je nagradu “Najbolji svetski projekat budućnosti” na prestižnim WAF-ovim nagradama. Generalni urbanistički projekat, koji hrabro teži da ujedini osetljivi region, bio je izložen u širokom spektru budućih projekata, koji su se takmičili za prestižnu WAF-ovu nagradu. U velikom finalu trodnevnog skupa, arhitekte iz Suisman Urban Design-a nagrađene su na blistavoj ceremoniji dodela, slaveći izuzetan kvalitet u projektima koji su još u razvoju.
Region Bliskog i Dalekog istoka obećava uzbudljive projekte u godinama koje dolaze, zajedno sa Hong Kongom i Kuvajtom, razmećući se sa pobednicima u dve kategorije. Ekonomije sa rapidnim razvojem kao što su Indija i Poljska, takođe su bile prisutne, obeležavajući novu eru arhitektonske dominacije, koja ide ruku pod ruku sa sve većim ekonomskim rastom. Politički osetljiva Okupirana palestinska teritorija takođe je domaćin pobedničkih projekata, kao što je The Arc, koji je osvojio nagradu u kategoriji Projekat budućnosti – Urbano planiranje. Sudije su slavile njegov „neustrašivi primer arhitekture i urbanog planiranja, koji je pomogao da se unapredi politička situacija“.
Pričajući na WAF dodeli nagrada 2010. Paul Finč, WAF direktor programa, rekao je: „Svetski festival arhitekture iznosi internacionalnu arhitekturu u prvi plan, nasuprot domaćoj arhitekturi Barselone koja oduzima dah. Dobili smo veliki odziv i uzbudljivu borbu za WAF nagrade, sa preko 500 učesnika iz 61 zemlje. Geografski opus i kvalitet ovogodišnjeg dizajna je izuzetno visok, sa velikim brojem radova iz „novih“ ekonomija, bilo od strane lokalnih arhitekata ili internacionalnih učesnika. Naše čestitke idu pobednicima za projekat koji je zaista poseban.“
Svetska zgrada godine

ANZ Centar, Melburn, Australija, HASSELL, Australija
ANZ Centar, projektovan od strane HASSELL-a, je jedan od najotvorenijih i najprometnijih centara u svetu. Retko, ako i ikad pre, je banka pozvala publiku u samo srce svog radnog prostora. Ovo „urbano naselje“ je nova generacija projektovanja u cilju saradnje i fleksibilnosti, gde je najveći deo prostora odvojen za zajedničke, interaktivne aktivnosti, kako bi se omogućili slučajni kontakti i veze koje su ključne za današnju ekonomiju znanja. Inkorporiranjem nivoa koji su prva zelena inicijativa, zgrada je postala i globalni reper za održivost u svim nivoima.

Arhitektura Fudbalskog grada predstavlja regionalni pristup, usmeren ka integrisanju urbanog konteksta Johanesburga, njegovog društva, istorijske rudarske industrije i afričke kulture u jedinstvenu celinu.
Glavna forma inspirisana je tradicionalnim afričkim “calabash”-om, postajući na taj način momentalno prepoznatljiva kao -afrička. Ova forma je korišćena kao sredstvo za raslojavanje, koja postižući opštu sferičnu formu, omogućava prostorni kvalitet međuprostora između spoljne opne i stadiona sa sedištima.

Delegates at World Architecture Festival (WAF) in Barcelona have been treated to a vision of the next generation of building design, as the category winners in the WAF Future Project of the Year Awards were unveiled during the Festival.
This was the third WAF, and, the second year that the awards programme has included future projects, celebrating a number of projects that are still on the drawing board. With a strong focus on creativity, they provide an exciting glimpse into the built environment of tomorrow.
The Arc, in Palestinian Occupied Territory, designed by Suisman Urban Design, USA has won the ‘World’s Best Future Project’ award at the prestigious World Architecture Festival Awards (WAF Awards) 2010.
The masterplan, which boldy seeks to unite a sensitive region, has been showcased amongst a wide range of future projects, all competing for a prestigious WAF Award. In a grand finale to the three day summit, Suisman Urban Design architects from USA were awarded the accolade at a glittering award ceremony, celebrating excellence in design for projects still on the drawing board.
The Middle East and Far East regions promise to deliver exciting projects in years to come, with both Hong Kong and Kuwait boasting two category winning entries. Rapidly developing economies such as India and Poland were also represented, marking a new era of architectural dominance in line with expanding economic growth. The politically sensitive Occupied Palestinian Territory also hosts a category winning project in The Arc, designed by Suisman Urban Design, USA, which won the Future Projects – Masterplanning Award. The judges praised its “fearless example of architecture and masterplanning, helping to promote a political solution.”
Speaking at the WAF Awards 2010 Paul Finch, WAF Programme Director, said: “World Architecture Festival brings international architecture to the forefront, against the backdrop of Barcelona’s breathtaking architecture. Yet again we received a huge response to the fiercely contested WAF Awards, with over 500 entries from 61 different countries. The geographical range and quality of this year’s designs were exceptionally high, with a great deal of entries from “new” economies, both by local architects and international practices. Our congratulations go to the winners for a project that is truly exceptional.”
World Building of the Year
MAXXI, National Museum of XXI Century Arts, Rome, Italy
Zaha Hadid Architects, United Kingdom
The Centre for Contemporary Arts addresses the question of its urban context by maintaining an indexicality to the former army barracks. This is in no way an attempt at topological pastiche, but instead continues the low-level urban texture set against the higher level blocks on the surrounding sides of the site.
Future Project of the Year
The Arc, Palestinian Occupied Territory, Suisman Urban Design, USA
The Arc project offers a sweeping infrastructure plan for a Palestinian state; it could begin immediately and provide tangible incentives for political resolution by demonstrating the benefits of achieving peace.

The architecture of Soccer City represents a regional approach aimed to integrate the urban context of Johannesburg , its society and the historical mining industry along with African culture as a whole.
The main form, inspired by the traditional African calabash, results in a stadium form that is immediately recognisable as being African. This form is used as a layering device and it enables an overall spherical form to emerge which informs the spatial quality of the intermediate spaces between the exterior skin and that of the seating bowl.
Future Projects – Competition Entries
Dance and Music Centre, Netherlands, Aedas, Hong Kong
The Dance and Music Center in The Hague presents a significant opportunity to improve the civic and social quality of both its city as well as the facilities it houses.
The location of the project is right on an important, albeit underutilized urban square – the Spuiplein. This raises concerns of how to improve activity of this urban room as well as knit and transition the public realm within the Center. The facility itself contains its own range of uses from the semi-public components of retail and box office facilities, transitioning to the performance venue foyers and finally to the five venues themselves.
