LEAF Awards 2006 – Feb 5th, 2007
As the first European awards programme to honour the players, products and designs setting benchmark standards within the build and design marketplace, the LEAF Awards (Leading European Architects Forum) were open to all companies, technologies and individuals that had made an outstanding contribution to the world of architectural design and build over the past year.
The event drew almost 100 entries and there was particular recognition of those who beyond enjoying exceptional success over the past 12 months had also demonstrated industry leadership within their respective fields.
The first award of the evening was in the New Build category. In selecting their winner, the judging panel, chaired by Peter Murray, invested particular emphasis in the term 'new' – looking for a project that demonstrated not only good design but also innovation.
It came down to a deliberation over two shortlisted entries: ONL's Cockpit and Acoustic Barrier in Utrecht and the Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam, designed by 3XN. The judges eventually settled on the Muziekgebouw by 3XN, citing the scheme's successful combination of various elements: clarity of layout, dramatic platforms, and shoebox concert hall.
The LEAF Awards 2007 will take place in Rome.
