2020 Winners & Finalists

The Value of Time
James Retief
Judges' Choice Winner, 2020
With the ongoing renovations to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, this iconic monument has been shrouded in a layer of scaffolding. I found beauty in the filigree matrix of scaffolding poles, stairs, and netting, that temporarily obscures the monument abstracting it into a lo fidelity approximation of the overly familiar form.

Arg of Karim Khan
Borna Mirahmadian
Public's Choice Winner, 2020
Sun shines through colorful stained glass window of Karim Khan Arg, located in Shiraz, Iran. This masterpiece is all about the Art of Building.

Museo Guggenheim Bilbao
Javier Arcenillas
Highly Commended, 2020
A young woman sits down to wait in one of the flowerpots that decorate the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is one of the great world icons of architecture, one of the masterpieces that mix Art, Design and Engineering to crown architecture. During the summer of Covid 19, the lack of tourism in the city transformed the way of understanding the building itself.

Towards the end of 2019, I went on photo trips to Inle. It is inhabited by the Shan people, one of the Burmese ethnic groups. They are building floating houses in this Inle Lake.

City on Fire, Reflected
Daniel Jenney
Modern, minimalist architecture can really be a great canvas to let light play and change through out the day, this structure located on New York's lower west side reflects the sunset behind the city and provides great hard and sharp contrast to the pastel sky.
