Glasshouse Competition Winners
Hall 10 Stand No: A40
Winners of Pilkington design competition on show at Glasstec 2002 in
Düsseldorf
glasstec 2002, from 28 October to 1 November 2002 in Düsseldorf,
will spotlight the winners of the Glasshouse design competition for
architecture students and young architects from all of Europe. The object
of the competition, sponsored by Pilkington and Architecture Today,
was to design a house for the 21st century. The prizes are worth a total
of EUR 35,000.
The competition requires that the house demonstrate and exploit the
architectural potential of glass. The main issues to be addressed are
energy-saving and ecological impact. The materials available included
fire protection, noise control, safety, and decoration glass. There
were also structural glazing systems available for the design of glass
facades. The contestants' designs were meant to demonstrate the full
spectrum of glass applications in architecture.
Glasstec visitors are invited to visit Pilkington's stand, (Hall 10,
Stand 40), to see the winning entries and runner-up for the European
'Glasshouse' competition.
