The inaugural Dwell Vision Award will recognize an architect or designer whose design vision is redefining how we live in the modern world.
Special emphasis will be given to projects that seek to galvanize the public to affect change on a large scale, initiatives that encompass several design disciplines, the use of sustainable materials and methodologies, and work that demonstrates a dedication to helping people through good design.
The Dwell Vision Award will select three finalists, to be announced this fall, and one winner will receive an editorial spread in Dwell magazine including a studio profile and project feature.
All three finalists will be featured on Dwell and will be honored in New York at a VIP awards celebration, where the winner will be announced.
"With this award, we are thrilled to salute architecture and design professionals who are harnessing their creative imaginations to make the world a better place," commented Amanda Dameron, Editor-in-Chief of Dwell.
"We believe true vision is only possible when it encompasses lessons from the past, acknowledges the realities of the present, and effectively alters the intellectual landscape for the future ahead."
The deadline for submissions August 30, 2013.
