Spark Award Winners Announced in San Francisco
November 11, 2009 | Levent OZLER
Winners of the 2009 Spark Design and Architecture Awards are showcased at the Autodesk Gallery at One Market in San Francisco, following a full-day jury session and awards celebration.
More than 370 contenders applied to Spark, the unique awards and qualification process that seeks out the best in dazzling design.
The judges selected 93 winning designs in one of four categories - bronze, silver, gold or the ultimate Spark!
Spark celebrates the best in design - from awesome architecture and sumptuous interiors to the bravest digital design.
All types of product entries were encouraged, from mobility to medical, along with the best in fields such as branding, graphics, advertising and experiential design.
"Not for the faint-hearted, the work of the Spark Award jury is always a challenge," commented Peter Kuchnicki, executive director of Spark Awards.
"We were delighted with both the entry pool and our great judges, who brought years of experience and keen design vision to the task."
"The jury had to decide what makes a design 'spark' as opposed to being just great, which can be tough," added Spark jury member David Darling, partner at Aidlin Darling Design.
"Spark connotes a catalyst - new momentum, new direction, for the betterment of the human spirit.
I evaluated designs rigorously on this basis."
