IAKS Architecture and Design Awards 2021
IAKS Architecture and Design Awards aims to identify and promote trends for transforming communities and urban areas into places of active living as well as building sustainable facilities.
As part of their commitment to excellence, the three organizations are inviting submissions for the IOC IPC IAKS 2021 Architecture and Design Award for Students and Young Professionals for innovative ideas, designs and concepts for sports, leisure and recreational facilities.
The mission
The goal of enhancing the human experience and appreciation of sports, leisure and recreation and the need to ensure equal, dignified and functional access to sport and leisure facilities are fundamental to the IOC, IPC and IAKS.
This includes access for all citizens, regardless of their physical abilities, as well as the protection of the environment through skilful design, the use of materials, and creativity. Achieving global sustainability goals and adaption to the consequences of climate change are also part of this mission.
Who should apply?
For many cities aspiring to become healthy places with pleasant living conditions, sports, leisure and recreational facilities are becoming increasingly important.
In their strategy to promote youth and to safeguard and promote access to sport and leisure for all members of the community regardless of physical, sensory or intellectual limitations, the IOC, the IPC and the IAKS are calling on young architects and designers to dedicate their enthusiasm and imagination in the creation of areas and spaces for active lifestyles.
It is the shared aspiration of the IOC, IPC and IAKS for young architects who create sporting environments for all citizens at an early stage in their career will continue this practice in later years so that inclusive design becomes second nature to them.
