Its way past midnight as I file this report, I have just got back from a spectacular evening spent at the BMW Welt, Munich. BMW opened its doors to the iF Design Awarding Ceremony. Designers from all across the world were present for the event; about a thousand design-inspired folks were present at the event. Highlights of the evening was the 75 iF Design Award Gold winners who had come to collect their award. And of course the master of them all Ralph Wiegmann.
Glittering trophy in hand and fingers pointing to their name on the winner’s wall, was a sight to be seen! This is my second trip to Munich and I must congratulate Ralph and his team for pulling off such a great show. Well timed and precise there were only a few key things to do (of the winners)… collect their awards, get the Year Book, Pose at the Name-on-wall and the official photo booth. Last but not the least: eat amazing food and dance the night away. Perfect recipe for a fun evening! More updates and pictures on my 3-day trip will be posted next week, but for now just go through my recap of best iF Design Award Gold Winners.

On the journey guests interacted with Fisher & Paykel designers and engineers about the experience at hand and their memories of food, cooking and life lived around the products. The insights gathered from these interactions will influence future generations of appliance design.

News: the Australian Institute of Architects has announced 38 winners of this year’s National Architecture Awards, including a pointy artists’ studio in Japan, a bright blue stadium in Perth and a Melbourne university building covered in scales.
A total of 55 awards were presented by the Australian Institute of Architects in a ceremony today at the Sydney Opera House. Projects were recognised from each Australian state and territory, including a copper-clad medical centre in Tasmania, a community centre in Sydney with plant-covered trellis walls and a weathered steel kiosk on the beach in Torquay, Victoria.
“We were thrilled to see so many buildings and places that were engaging with social impacts beyond their immediate brief, offering something really significant to society at a higher level – architecture which is not merely responsible, but which is generous,” said architect Shelley Penn, who chaired the awards jury.
Housing projects chosen included a residence designed as a cross between an archaeological site and playground, and a social housing complex that looks like a pile of single-storey homes.
Awards also went to a prison modelled on a utopian Aboriginal community, an office block that curls around a large public park and a series of paths and pavilions along and across the Derwent River.
“These projects offer a legacy of positive urban spaces, connections and approaches that will influence how their cities function and are perceived,” added Penn.
Here’s a full list of the winning projects:
