 2010 Dulux Colour AwardsThe Dulux Colour Awards have long been a bastion for acknowledging and applauding exceptional colour application and use amongst Australian architects and interior designers.The 24th Dulux Colour Awards will now however, broaden its brushstroke to include design professionals practicing in and from New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Fiji. It is an expansion Dulux spokesperson Andrea Lucena-Orr regards as just one of several ways in which the Awards continue to refresh and reinvent itself. "Each year we try to push the boundaries of the Dulux Colour Awards and in 2010 we've chosen to interpret that literally! The Awards have traditionally been an opportunity for Dulux to laud colour brilliance amongst Australia's design elite right through to the potential brilliance of emerging new generations of talent. But over time the Awards have come to symbolise Dulux's drive to think fresh and take bold new directions. So it seems only natural that as a leader in colour not only here at home but also abroad, that we welcome equally gifted offshore creatives and give them the opportunity to celebrate their talent with colour," said Lucena-Orr. "We're hoping this move will ultimately see a real hot bed of inspiring, fearless colour use that is thoughtful, thought-provoking, skilled and exciting. It will also be a chance to see colour differences and/ or parallels between countries. It will show just how complex, exciting and dynamic our world canvas truly is," she said. competition deadline Feb 19, 2010 more design competitions more info www.dul...

 Architecture in Times of Need: Make It RightArchitecture in Times of Need is the first book to document the projects and progress made by the Make It Right Foundation, established by actor Brad Pitt during the redevelopment of New Orleans' vibrant Lower Ninth Ward which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.Instigated by MIR and its founders Brad Pitt, GRAFT Architects, Bill McDonough and Cherokee, a group of high-profile and influential international architects including David Adjaye, Graft, Gehry, MVRDV, Morphosis and Shigeru Ban were engaged to develop affordable house typologies for low income residents incorporating the latest in sustainable construction and design. This book documents the process with numerous photos, plans, and renderings as well as written commentary from the architects. Besides Brad Pitt's foreword in which he writes of his motivations to bring the Make It Right Foundation to life, the book also includes essays regarding the entire design process and the cradle-to-cradle concept. In addition, the "Pink Project," a Land Art awareness installation from Brad Pitt and GRAFT, generated interest in the international media thereby helping to attract financing for the MIR housing project. This book can also serve as an instruction manual for people and other initiatives confronted with similar circumstances. MIR is currently working to extend their aid programs to other areas in need across the U.S. more Architecture in Times of Need: Make It Right design directory Architecture in Times of Need: Make It Right > Architecture Books added by Levent OZLER |
