The nine winning projects of the 2017 Jacques Rougerie International Architecture Competition explore living solutions in the unexplored territories of sea and space. The competition, established in 2011, challenges the young architects to conceptualize “innovative, audacious and promising projects that imagine new methods of sustainable development within the realms of sea and space.” The awards were given to nine promising firms in three categories: Innovation and Architecture for Space, Innovation and Architecture for the Sea, and Architecture and Sea Level Rise. Each category had three disciplines: the Grand Prix, the “Focus” theme award, and the Coup de Coeur, noted ArchDaily.Winners of the 2017 Jacques Rougerie International Architecture Competition are:Category: Innovation and Architecture for the SeaGrand PrixCurrents for Currents, Blue is the new green / Deo Alrashid T.
