March 3rd, 2023 | Guangzhou | China

In a groundbreaking achievement, 100architects was honored with not one but two prestigious awards at the renowned Ideal Architecture Festival (IAF). The event celebrated the transformative power of architectural dreams and gave visionary designers a chance to turn their “unbuilt” concepts into reality.

The first accolade went to their exceptional project “River Loop” situated in the mesmerizing landscape of Rio Negro, Antioquia, Colombia. A true masterpiece of ingenuity and creativity. The second award recognized the captivating “Winding Breeze” at Kalva Beach in the UAE, an awe-inspiring testament to the team’s dedication to pushing boundaries.

Leading the charge was the talented Monica Paez, the project leader of “River Loop” and an esteemed associate architect at 100architects. She journeyed all the way to Guangzhou to represent the company at the IAF, where she received both honors in the name of the esteemed architecture firm.

Monica also seized the moment to shine a spotlight on 100architects’ core philosophy and innovative concepts during her captivating presentation at the forum. Enthusiastic audiences at the event and beyond were treated to a virtual spectacle as the presentation was expertly streamed online, magnifying the global reach of their groundbreaking projects.

The IAF, an international competition, focuses on materializing the dreams and visions of “unbuilt” designs. Architects and designers from all corners of the world showcased their untapped potential and unimplemented marvels, provided with the unique opportunity to transform dreams into tangible reality.

The 2022 IAF Architecture Festival took place triumphantly at the forum area of Hall 2, Guangzhou Poly World Trade Expo Center from March 3-6, 2023. This grand event encompassed four exciting sections: the “Opening Ceremony & Award Ceremony,” the enthralling “Award Dinner,” the thought-provoking “Dream Conference,” and an inspiring “Special Exhibition.” A dazzling celebration of architectural brilliance!

The IAF acknowledged the daring spirit of award-winning designers who shattered conventions and ventured into uncharted territory, and the opening ceremony and award ceremony were a well-deserved coronation of these fearless pioneers.

The heart and soul of the IAF lie in nurturing and fulfilling architectural dreams. It’s a testament to the indomitable spirit of architects, inspiring them to turn the intangible into the tangible, making their dreams shine bright for all to see.

From the realm of “unbuilt” to the realm of “built,” these dreams are nothing short of super and crazy. The hope is that this victory will ignite the spark of “super dreams” in more architects, revealing the captivating human stories behind avant-garde works. An exchange platform will be established to display these “super dreams” and elevate them to a realm of grandeur and possibility.

With this exceptional feat at the Ideal Architecture Festival, 100architects cements its position as a pioneer of innovative design, breathing life into dreams and captivating the world with their awe-inspiring creations. The future holds limitless possibilities for architectural brilliance, and we can’t wait to witness the next groundbreaking chapter in 100architects’ journey to greatness.
