The Baden Architecture Award (Badap) has reached a new stage. Online voting was initiated on 14th July to decide on this year's award.
This competition has been revised in its design and reach. The organisers aim to achieve greater international resonance and appeal to an expanded field of participants. The development of the award towards broader recognition reflects the desire to honour architectural achievements beyond regional boundaries.
Significance of Online Voting for the Award
The involvement of the public through online voting represents an important component of the selection process. This method allows a broad audience to actively participate in the evaluation of the submitted architectural projects. This can contribute to promoting the acceptance and visibility of outstanding structures in the region and beyond.
The initiators of Badap emphasise that online voting introduces an additional perspective into the evaluation, which goes beyond purely professional assessment. This underscores the relevance of architecture in public spaces and its impact on society. It is expected that participation in the voting will further solidify the award's significance.
The resulting decision from the vote is considered crucial for the final award. This establishes a participatory approach within an established architecture prize, which could potentially serve as a model for similar awards. The continuous coverage of the process by specialist media highlights the industry's interest in this development.
