With four days before early discount ends, Virgil Abloh and Sou Fujimoto are named among judges for Dezeen Awards 2019
With Dezeen Awards early entry discount ending this Friday we're announcing our final judges with fashion designer Virgil Abloh, architect Sou Fujimoto, artist Lucy McRae and SO-IL co-founder Jing Liu joining our panel of 75 leading figures from architecture and design.
Other judges announced today are ZAO/standardarchitecture founder Zhang Ke, Danilo Mandelli of Delta Light and Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners partner Ivan Harbour.
Enter now to have your work judged by this impressive lineup of international architects and designers. Entries submitted before 29 March can take advantage of an early discount of 25 per cent.
Louis Vuitton's creative director Abloh, who showcased his inaugural menswear collection for the label during Paris fashion week last year, will judge design projects and products alongside experimental British-born artist Lucy McRae.
McRae's science fiction art explores how design could prepare humans to go to space, including experiments with vacuum packing to prepare humans for future long-haul space travel.
Danilo Mandelli, director of the international project division of Delta Light, will also be judging entries for Dezeen Awards 2019. Delta Light collaborated with lighting designer Dean Skira on the Polesano street lamp.
Joining the architecture panel is Sou Fujimoto, the Japanese architect who recently designed a vertical village mixed-use development for Paris and a university building made from stacked glass cubes in Switzerland.
Also judging architecture projects is Chinese architect Zhang Ke, who created a micro hostel with tiny concrete rooms in one of Beijing's ancient hutong neighbourhoods.
They will be joined by British architect Ivan Harbour, who won the Stirling Prize for two of his projects, including a Maggie’s Centre in west London.
Dezeen Awards 2019, which is open for entries, celebrates the world's best architecture, interiors and design projects and studios.
If you enter before this Friday 29 March, you will get a 25 per cent discount on your entry fee.
