Architecture Award 2010 PASSIVE HOUSE

For the first time, within the framework of the annual Passive House Conference, the Passive House Institute in
Darmstadt is announcing an Architecture Award (prize awarding), which will be awarded for outstandingly creative
building projects which have been realised in accordance with the Passive House standard. This year's sponsoring
partner are SAENA GmbH - the energy agency for Saxony and the Chamber of Architects of Saxony in cooperation with
the Chamber of Architects and Town Planners of Hesse.

The built environment has a significant influence on our well-being. It has always been the natural duty of architects to
incorporate the developments and challenges of society as a whole into their designs. One of the greatest challenges of

Documents to be submitted:

Identification:

The documents should be submitted with the name and address of the author.

Poster:

Save the poster in Power Point and as a PDF file and save onto a CD.
The presentation should consist of two posters, which are to be printed in size A1 for judgement and if necessary for exhibition
later on.
The names of the building and of the designer should be entered on all posters (as a title at the top).
On the first poster in the text box (above right), the technical details of the building and information about the parties involved
should be entered.
The second poster is optional and can be used to position further pictures and illustrations if needed. Any other posters should
not be added and will not be considered.
At least the following pictures and illustrations should be included in the poster:
a) all floor plans (for multi-storey buildings at least the respective system layouts e.g. the ground floor and an upper floor)
b) at least one section
c) outside exposures (photographs)
d) inside exposures (photographs)
The pictures and illustrations should be placed within the grid intended for this purpose. Bigger or smaller picture sizes may be
used (see Kinderkrippe Lengdorf example). Information may be entered in the text box but the text box may not be moved out of
its intended place (above right on the first poster).
The posters should then be submitted without the grid, measurements and explanatory notes (blue). A file without a grid is
provided and an example is also shown.
Please enclose all pictures and illustrations which have been used for the poster as separate files on CD (as JPG or TIFF).
