On November 19, a solemn ceremony of awarding the winners and laureates of the Architectural Prize-2003 took place in the New Opera Theater. Just as last year, there were more people willing to attend the main event of the year in the world of private architecture than the hall could accommodate. The nominees were worried, the fans were worried, even the jury members were worried when they spoke congratulations from the stage ... So, the names of the winners are named. The competition in the most peaceful and life-affirming activities - private architecture - for this year can be considered complete. So, the upcoming 2004 will bring us new "Olympians", and they, respectively, respect of colleagues and glory The level of works submitted this year for the competition, not just increased, but increased tremendously. Because of the record number of worthy projects, it was not easy for the jury members to choose. The victory went to the one who scored the maximum number of points. Sometimes the gap was quite small. And therefore the impression was created that the “ARHIP” figurines on the podium should stand not four (by the number of nominations), but much more. But competition is competition, and victory is always unexpected not only for the winner. In addition to the Professional Council, which determined the best, the Public Council also worked, which included not professional architects, but well-known TV presenters, actors, bankers, art historians and filmmakers. Leonid Parfenov, Nikolai Fomenko, Tatyana Mikhalkova, Vladimir Pozner, Arina Sharapova, Mikhail Leontyev, Marianna Maksimovskaya and many other famous people came to congratulate and award architects to the New Opera.WINNERS "Architectural Award" has a unique and probably the most democratic mechanism for selecting winners and laureates. They are chosen by the architects themselves - Professional Award Council. This year 125 architects voted. All of them rated the work on a ten-point scale, and after the counting of votes, the winners were announced.Amalia Talfels (Moscow)Winner in the nomination "Individual residential house" House with a total area of ​​500 m², Moscow region - All participants, it seems to me, had a sense of celebration, and everyone was looking forward to the results. Congratulations sounded sincerely, with all my heart. Everything was organized with dignity. I think it will be even better. My future plans? Work, work and work. Because it took such a serious start. The competition is growing, and the bar will have to be raised. Awards are always needed. For all this is a very powerful incentive, even for the masters. Any competition makes move and improve.Sergey Rogulev (St. Petersburg)Winner in the nomination "Apartment Interior" Apartment with a total area of ​​255 m², St. Petersburg Winner in the nomination "Individual residential house. Innovation" House with a total area of ​​250 m², Leningrad region - For me, this award is a surprise, after all, I was not internally prepared for the fact that my work can be evaluated at the highest level. This is really nice. The main thing that makes me happy: the level of architecture, quality of design, their social significance have risen to a completely new height. For me, the revelation that I live at a time when such events occur. I always work as my heart and mind tell me.Edward Zabuga (Moscow)Winner in the nomination "Public interior" Strato showroom with a total area of ​​235 m², Moscow - When you see the reaction of people who say: "Cool!", "Great!" - it's nice. And when the award was presented, I was quite childishly pleased. I did not expect to win. There are events that pass, and all - nothing remains. And there are those, after which you want to work further, because they are good in essence. And such contests provoke creativity. I think this is very correct. That is, such provocations must exist. On the one hand, it is pleasant, on the other hand, it is useful, and on the third - this is an action that in itself makes sense as an action.Maris Banders (Riga)Winner in the nomination "Prize of the Public Council" Apartment with a total area of ​​160 m², Riga - My feelings are very, very pleasant. This is a holiday. I am shocked that my work pleased me and that the jury chose me. I am glad, even happy - such awards inspire. To admit, a little scary: this is a big responsibility, because now they will look at me a little differently and differently evaluate my actions. I will try to make good, beautiful objects so that I can present them at the next competitions.Lyudmila Kiseleva, Stanislav Gorshunov (Nizhny Novgorod)Winners of the student competition "House for a Star" Тележурналист Леонид Парфенов: - Я, конечно, знал, что существует "бумажная" архитектура, я об этом много читал, но никогда так очевидно с этим не сталкивался. Понимаю прекрасно, что, когда предлагались на конкурс фамилии известных людей, имелся в виду публичный образ. Но я не мог себе представить, что мой образ может воплотиться в таком проекте. У меня, конечно, нет ни денег, ни отваги, чтобы жить в подобном доме. Но он совершенно невероятный, многофункциональный. Мне сроду таких подарков не дарили. Спасибо!
