Za mlade arhitekte afirmisanje i sticanje iskustva kroz konkurse je često jedini način ali i prava šansa. Promocija takve arhitekture je nešto što bi moralo biti značajno, više zastupljeno i inicirano u društvu. Činjenica da učešće mladih ljudi na ovim prostorima često izostane zbog sumnje u regularnost raspisanih konkursa je nešto na šta se odmah mora reagovati i to na jedini logičan način – snažnom propagandom i upiranjem prstom.
25.marta otvorena je izložba radova povodom dodele Prve godišnje nagrade časopisa Arhitekton. Izložba je trajala do 31.marta i održala se u nedavno rekonstruisanom Muzeju Kralja Petra I Karađorđevića u Beogradu.Na izložbi je bilo izloženo 30 od ukupno 61 pristiglih radova koji su bili u konkurenciji za nagradu. Četvoročlani žiri u sastavu: Profesor Arhitektonskog fakulteta u Beogradu arh.Miodrag Mirković, Predsednik opštine Savski Venac arh.Tomislav Đorđević, ispred redakcije časopisa Arhitekton arh.Milan Rašković i glavni i odgovorni urednik časopisa arh.Marko Stojčić, doneo je odluku o rezultatima konkursa.
Dodeljene su tri nagrade od kojih je Prvu dobio mladi autorski tim iz Niša u sastavu Milan Stevanović, Srđan Sakan, Petar Pejić, Vojislav Nikolić i Stefan Živković za projekte nastale na fakultetu u okviru studija – stambene zgrade, među kojima se istakao objekat „Living box“. Drugu nagradu je dobio autorski tim ACID za Projekat umetničke galerije u Mariboru i treću Projekat tipskog vrtića autorke Senke Šepić iz Osijeka.
Prvonagrađani rad predstavlja veoma napredan i realističan pristup veoma mladih autora arhitektonskim zahtevima današnjice i kao takav se istakao u odnosu na ostale pristigle radove. Pored kvaliteta ponuđenog projekta pobedničkog rada, žiri je imao na umu da ovom nagradom treba pomoći mladim autorima i dati im preko potreban podsticaj. Prvonagrađeni tim iz Niša dobio je novčanu nagradu u iznosu od 100 000 dinara, besplatnu dvogodišnju pretplatu na časopis, objavljivanje prvonagrađenog rada, promovisanje rada u javnosti kao i mogućnost za objavljivanje još dva projekta u periodu od dve godine. Druga i treća nagrada uključuju besplatnu jednogodišnju pretplatu na časopis, objavljivanje nagrađenog rada, promovisanje rada u javnosti kao i mogućnost za objavljivanje još jednog projekta u periodu od jedne godine.
Sama izložba je bila jedinstvena mogućnost da i pored velikog broja renomiranih arhitektonskih imena i anonimni autori dobiju šansu da promovišu svoje projekte. Ta ideja je i spontano dovela žiri do pobedničkog rada, dodelivši Prvu nagradu najmlađim učesnicima takmičenja, studentima, mnogo manje promovisanog Arhitektonskog fakulteta u Nišu.
Našu ideju podržala je Opština Savski Venac, Inženjerska Komora Srbije kao i kompanije koje su lideri u svojim oblastima i od kojih arhitekte svakako imaju puno da nauče.
Generalni sponzor izložbe i Nagrade bila je kompanija Kingspan, pored koje su i kompanije Eglo, Ytong, Sika, Zumtobel, Wienerberger, Alpod flooring, Thyssen Krupp, Alubond i Mačkov podrum.
Young architects often find magazine competitions as their unique chance to acquire experience, but also a good chance to promote themselves. Promoting young architects should definitely get more significance and wider social importance and recognition. The fact of the matter is that young architects are quite reluctant to compete, due to their doubt in regularity and fairness of the competition. Therefore, we are using this opportunity to pinpoint that practice and bring it out to the eye of the public.
On March 25th there was the opening of the 1st annual Award of Arhitekton magazine, at the recently refurbished Museum of King Peter the 1st Karadjordjevic. After the opening day, the public could also enjoy spectacular works of young architects during the exhibition, until March 31. There were exhibited in total 30 out of 61 submitted works for the competition.
The panel comprised Professor of the Belgrade Architecture School, Mr. Miodrag Mirković, Head of the Savski Venac city municipality, architect Mr. Tomislav Đorđević, representative of the magazine „Arhitekton“, architect Mr. Milan Rašković and editor`n`chief, architect Mr. Marko Stojčić.
Three prizes have been awarded, and the voting was as follows:
– The first prize went to a young team from Niš (Milan Stevanović, Srđan Sakan, Petar Pejić, Vojislav Nikolić and Stefan Živković), for the projects designed during their studies, a residential building „Living Box“.
– The second prize was awarded to the ACID team, for their project arty gallery in Maribor.
– The third prize went to Senka Šepić from Osijek, for the design of a standardized kindergarten.
The winning work advocates for a highly advanced, yet realistic approach to the demands of contemporary life. That, coupled with a fact that the authors are very young, was a decisive moment to distinguish their work from the others`. Along with the high quality of their work, the panel was also motivated by a fact that young authors at their age do need a solid incentive. The team was awarded 100 000,00 dinars, free two-year subscription for the magazine, publishing and public promotion of the awarded project and possibility to publish two more projects in the following two years.
The second and the third prize got free one-year magazine subscription, publishing of the awarded work, public promotion of the work and possibility to publish one more project in the following year.
The exhibition itself was a unique opportunity to present both well-known architects as well as young, not that known, and give them a chance to promote their projects. Such approach led the panel to a final decision, awarding the first prize to the youngest competitors, students of not very known Architectural School from Niš.
This idea has been whole- heartedly supported by the Belgrade city municipality, Savski Venac, the Serbian Chamber of Engineers along with variety of companies, leaders in their respective fields, posing a good example to be followed by the Serbian architects.
Major benefactor of our exhibition and the award was copmany „Kingspan“. Other supporters were companies „Eglo“, „Ytong“, „Sika“, „Zumtobel“, „Wienerberger“, „Alpod flooring“, „Thyssen Krupp“, „Alubond“ and „Tomcat`s Wine Cellar“.
