The winners and runners-up in the annual Arcaid architectural photography awards have been revealed
Lisbon-based architectural photographer Fernando Guerra won the $3,000 first prize with a snap of Richter Dahl Rocha & Associés’ EPFL Quartier Nord in Switzerland.
The phototgraphy award highlights the expertise of specialist architectural photographers and their skill at ‘translating the sophistication of architecture into a readable and understandable two dimensions, to explain and extol the character, detail and environment of the project.’
The judges for the award included Katy Harris, head of communications at Foster + Partners, photographers Nick Hufton and Allan Crow, Sydney-based architect Ian Moore, Barcelona-based architects Fabrizio Barozzi and Alberto Veiga, editor of the Architectural Review Christine Murray, deputy editor of the Architectural Record Clifford Pearson, and curator at Sto Werkstatt Amy Croft.
Prize winners were announced at the Gala Dinner of the World Architecture Festival (WAF) in Singapore earlier this month.
All the shortlisted entries will feature in an exhibition entitled ‘Building Images’ at Sto Werkstatt, London from 5 February until 25 March 2016.
