JCN Newswire (English)
Lexus is excited to announce the addition of visionary architect
Sir David Adjaye as the newest judge for Lexus Design Award 2018.
Adjaye, one of the most influential architects of his generation,
complements an already world-class panel of judges that also
recently added innovative architect Shigeru Ban. Through the Lexus
Design Award, Sir David Adjaye and other judges will identify and
recognize the next wave of global creators and designers.
Each year, thousands of young creative talent from around the world
aspire to be selected to participate in Lexus Design Award, where
they have an opportunity to receive mentorship from established
global designers, prototype funding, and an invitation to exhibit
at the Lexus Design Event during Milan Design Week. Sir David
Adjaye and the other judges will select the 12 finalists that best
embody this year's theme, "CO-" and reflect the Lexus brand belief
that great design can make the world a better place. At Milan
Design Week 2018, Adjaye and his fellow judges will award the
coveted grand prix award to one of the finalists.
"The Lexus Design Award provides an incredible platform for young
designers from around the globe to help craft a more inclusive
future. I'm honored to be part of this panel helping to elevate
these voices. This year's theme particularly resonated with me. As
we negotiate the challenges of the 21st century, thinking
collaboratively and across disciplines is more important than ever
before." - Sir David Adjaye.
Named as one of the world's 100 Most Influential People by Time
Magazine, the Ghanaian-British architect was knighted in 2017 for
services to architecture. In 2016, he received the Panerai London
Design Medal. Among his recent accomplishments, Sir Adjaye,
designed the National Museum of African American History and
Culture - a Smithsonian Institution museum, on the National Mall in
Washington, D.C. - featuring a crown motif from Yoruba (native
Nigerian) sculpture.
Entries to the Lexus Design Award 2018 competition are accepted
from July 24 through October 08. The 12 finalists will be announced
