The 'VALUE' winners of the 2020 Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers
Ten emerging designers from the U.S. and Mexico have been selected as winners of VALUE, the 39th edition of the Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers. The annual portfolio competition recognizes up-and-coming architects and designers who completed an undergraduate or master’s degree program within the past ten years. "Value is a slippery construct in architecture, leading to thoughts of numbers, colors, measurement, worth, and ethics," The Architectural League elaborated on this year's guiding theme. "In a time of political and social precariousness when all cultural value sets seem publicly permissible, this year’s Architectural League Prize competition asked entrants to consider how notions of value operate in their work. How are values mediated by the processes of design? What are the discursive contexts, forms of representation, and/or spaces of action in which these values manifest themselves?" A digital exhibition of the winning work will launch at archleague.org on June 22 in lieu of the usual physical gallery exhibition at Parsons School of Design at The New School in New York. Online lectures with the selected architects and designers are scheduled for late June and will open for registration later this month. Here are this year's winning practitioners: David Eskenazi of d.esk (Los Angeles, CA) Read the full post on Bustler
