Five projects were selected as winners of Detail Prize 2016 with the Mpavilion 2014 design by Sean Godsell Architects taking home the top honours.
Organised by Detail Magazine, Detail Prize is a biennial award, which aims to "strengthen architecture in public debate, strengthen the role of architects in public, and strengthen networking among architects, industrialists, developers and politicians".
The five winners of the Detail Prize 2016 were selected by the jury from a pool of 337 projects from 42 different countries by looking for “realisations in which the overall design concept and the detailing were brought together in a coherent way”. The winners were noted for being “future-oriented, innovative and pioneering projects from different disciplines that have outstanding architectural and technical qualities”.
This year’s jury consisted of Peter Ippolito (Ippolito Fleitz Group), Gilles Retsin (Gilles Retsin Architecture), Mike Schlaich (Schlaich Bergermann Partner), Enrique Sobejano (Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos) and Daniel Lischer (ALP Architektur Lischer Partner Ag).
