ORDOS 20+10 WINS PROGRESSIVE ARCHITECTURE AWARD

Posted on February 16th, 2015 by Nicole Sakr

Posted under: Press

Ordos 20+10 has won a 2015 Progressive Architecture Award. This is our 16th P/A! Read more about Ordos and this year’s other P/A winners in ARCHITECT Magazine.

“I like the restraint that was used here, and the sensibilities exercised in resolving the varied constraints. It was deftly handled.”

– Jennifer Marmon, AIA, jury member

pa-ordos-blogFormalism is dead. Long live contextual formalism. A subtle difference, but an important one. If the Progressive Architecture Awards are a bellwether for the industry, the forecast calls for exuberant forms that embrace their context, in equal measure with projects that exhibit restraint in order to … embrace their context. Our jury responded, overwhelmingly, to projects that look outward to find their core principles. Which means clear (or at least urbanistically balanced) skies are on the horizon. Leave the umbrellas at home.
