Die Frankfurter Buchmesse und das Deutsche Architekturmuseum (DAM) haben nach der erfolgreichen Premiere im letzten Jahr auch 2010 wieder den internationalen DAM Architectural Book Award vergeben. Dem gemeinsamen Aufruf sind rund 90 Architektur- und Kunstbuchverlage weltweit gefolgt; erstmals mit dabei: China, Brasilien, Mexiko. Eine Fachjury aus Vertretern des DAM sowie externen Experten hat die Einsendungen nach Kriterien wie Gestaltung, inhaltliche Konzeption, Material- und Verarbeitungsqualität, Grad an Innovation und Aktualität bewertet. Die Preisverleihung fand am 6. Oktober 2010 in der Bibliothek des DAM statt.
Neben vielen anderen Preisträgern hat auch Yes is More in der Kategorie Architektenmonografie gewonnen. Herzlichen Glückwunsch – ich finde es auch toll, mal wirklich etwas anderes. Und es ist jetzt auch auf Deutsch zu kaufen.
[aartikel]3836520109:left[/aartikel]Yes is more is the title of an exhibition and a book presenting B.I.G. in solo format for the first time in Denmark at the Danish architecture centre. Unlike a classic architectural monograph, this book is more of a popular cultural manifesto, which is also literally the first actual documentation of B.I.G.’s trailblazing practice. As the book demonstrates, this is a practice where method, processes, instruments and the approach to the concept of architecture is precisely as wild, unfettered and result-producing as the world it is part of and greets with an unqualified Yes. Bjarke Ingels attracts highly talented co-workers, but also gifted and ambitious clients from all over the world. He does so because his own talent is above all to swiftly create intelligent synergies out of indomitable „movements“, wild energies and unforeseen dynamics and transform them into hitherto unseen, surprising, functional, valuable and beautiful solutions to the specific and complex challenges in each task. The results of B.I.G.’s practice has already won awards from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the prize for „The World’s Best Housing Project“, „Best Building in the Nordic Countries“ as well as many other international kudos. The project and the title Yes is more is a double-edged wordplay on the dogma in modern architecture that „less is more“. Less is only more as far as dimensions go – the ability to encompass as many dimensions as possible (more) with as few expenses as possible (less). As a design parameter for an aesthetic retro minimalism this only amounts to idiosyncratic architectural idiocy.
