Asif Khan to Bring a Future Focus to the German Design Council's 2019 ICONIC AWARDS: Innovative Architecture

由专筑网飞鱼，王雪纯编译

Asif Khan以其空间构造和创新理念的设计风格被认为是世界上最令人惊艳的建筑师之一。他为2018年韩国平昌奥运会设计了Vantablack亭 。由于采用了纳米技术，建筑的创新型涂料吸收了99%的可见光，使得建筑营造出浩瀚空间的氛围。

德国设计委员会以这位伦敦本土建筑师为荣，在2018年ICONIC AWARDS中授与他年度杰出建筑师特别奖：创新建筑竞赛纪念奖。Khan将在今年首次作为评审团的成员，负责2019年ICONIC AWARDS中的创新建筑竞赛奖的评审，而这项竞赛项目包括建筑、室内、产品、交流、概念以及创新材料。

德国设计委员会主持的ICONIC AWARDS中的创新建筑大奖将以整体的视角来评审：大奖将颁发给国内有远见的公共建筑、与建筑相协调的空间设计、引领当代潮流的概念店、从立面工程零件到房间内部组件的创新设计产品、或是与周边建筑、社区以及工厂相互联系的大型城市规划设计与景观设计。参赛作品以他们的审美，材料的创新运用以及功能为评判标准。同时也要求项目将社会与生态相协调。

With his delicate designs for spatial structures and innovative concepts, Asif Khan is considered one of the world’s most exciting architects. He constructed the VantablackPavilion for the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang, South Korea – thanks to nano-technology, the building's innovative paint absorbs 99 percent of visible light, which creates an impression similar to the vastness of space.
The German Design Council honored the London-based architect by awarding him the prestigious Architects of the Year special prize at the ICONIC AWARDS 2018: Innovative Architecture competition awards ceremony. As a first-time member of the jury, Khan will be responsible this year for selecting the ICONIC AWARDS 2019: Innovative Architecture competition prize winners in the categories: Architecture, Interior, Product, Communication, Concept and Innovative Material.
The German Design Council’s ICONIC AWARDS: Innovative Architecture competition takes a holistic perspective: prizes will be awarded for visionary domestic and public buildings, spatial designs in the context of major corporate projects as well as trend-setting contemporary concept stores, innovative products from façade engineering components to room elements, large-scale urban planning designs and landscape architecture, but also for sustainable communication from all areas of the architecture, construction and real estate sectors as well as the manufacturing industry. Entries are judged on their aesthetic design quality, innovative use of materials an        d functionality but also on their social and ecological compatibility.

建筑，室内设计，产品设计以及品牌交流的相互融合，这种形式的竞赛当前在全世界中独一无二。与此同时，它为多种产业提供了网络上的平台，促进各学科之间的学习、协调以及合作与创新。

德国设计委员会在设计与品牌领域内是世界交流与学习的中心之一。该委员会目前拥有300多家公司。委员会成立于1953年，在德国联邦议院的支持下，教育与提高德国经济部门的设计知识。

过去的几年中，德国设计委员会的系统性国际定位为设计者与企业家们的杰出创新成果开辟了一个新的，引人注目的阶段。因为国际标准尤其与ICONIC AWARDS的概念相关，这一竞赛征收30多个国家的设计方案，能反应出全球的设计倾向并建立全球标准。

It is precisely this intertwining of architecture, interior design, product design and brand communications that makes the competition unique in the world in its current form. Simultaneously, it provides a networking platform for the various industries, which, in turn, collaborate to engender new synergies and innovations.
The German Design Council is one of the world’s leading centers of expertise in communication and knowledge transfer within the design and branding sectors. The foundation currently includes more than 300 companies among its associates. It was founded in 1953, on the initiative of the German Bundestag, to support and enhance design expertise in the German economic sector.
Over the past few years, the German Design Council's systematic international orientation has opened up a new, attention-grabbing stage for outstanding innovative achievements .Because international standards are particularly relevant to iconic architectural concepts, the ICONIC AWARDS: Innovative Architecture competition, which attracts submissions from over 30 countries, reflects global trends and establishes global benchmarks.
The closing date for submissions to the ICONIC AWARDS 2019: Innovative Architecture competition is the 17th of May 2019.
