EMERGING ARCHITECTS SELECTION & EXHIBITION
GEMSS ‘19
GEMSS 2019
14 architects were selected among 106 qualified applications.
The multi-disciplinary selection commitee of the first edition of GEMSS, which consists of professional architects as well as artists, academicians and business representatives from the sector, selected 14 architects among 106 highly qualified applications.
The selection evaluated the holistic productions of architects rather than their individual projects:
Diversity of production and action areas,
Developing a unique expression,
Producing value beyond established expectations and practices, such qualities were taken into consideration.
GEMSS selection brings together projects that are well aware of the connection between architectural practice and ecological, social and cultural sustainability, that attach importance to the environmental ethics and sensitivity, that depend on both the local and the universal sources and contribute to the architectural culture in a practical, academic and artistic sense. In this way, it provides a comprehensive view of today’s architectural practices that will shape the future of architecture.
