Jury

From the republic democratic of Congo practising in south Africa. 

My architectural philosophy consists of finding the right balance between being innovative,responsive, financially and enviromentally aware, in order to make good architecture accessible to all.

My Design process consist of 3 things:

1. Understanding the context 
2. Responding to the user needs
3. Exploring new ways of resolving issues from the first two points

I believe Architecture should be pushing its boundaries and that each building should not just be a functional structure but a unique answer to a social, a contextual or even an economical problem.

To be a member of this tremendous team to help and work together. 

I am driven by an ambition to enable architecture to become a sustainable change agent. My starting point is always what buildings can do for people and local communities

Giuseppe Parisi (*1989) graduated in the Architecture and Interior Design department of Aversa, Italy. He founded an Interdisciplinary Office after several experiences with different national and international practices in his hometown. The approach of his work explores the relationship between the Sense, the Form and the Materials. The goal of his idea is to achieve beauty characterized by few targeted choices. The areas of his work include design on various scales, from private houses to residential complexes, planning and requalification of public buildings, offices and accommodation facilities. In 2018 he received the NIB Under 36 Architecture Award and today he is among the young emerging italian architects.

My goal as an Interior Designer is to design spaces, meet the needs of modern life. www.I-Archi.fr

Architecture...

I believe in a philosophy that entails design as an interdisciplinary, collective effort to respond to contemporary needs and future issues. A great design is the result of collaborative work combined with passionate, innivative, sensitive values that transforms a place or a space into a unique solution that responds to human needs.

My focus is sustainability in the design-built environment and urban planning. I am currently the Planning Head for Mixed Use, Townships and Retail Developments of Filinvest, one of the elaidng real estate developers in the Philippines. One of my main role is to review, and approve design submissions by consultans that we hire for our projects. I have more than 17 years of experience as an architect and masterplanner/environmental planner.
