Public Choice Award

For ten years, Beta has been awarding quality architectural initiatives and projects in Romania, Hungary and Serbia. The international jury for each edition is made up of renowned architects, and the awards reflect our determination to promote authors and projects with a beneficial impact on the built environment.

For the first time in this competition, we have introduced the People's Award, through which we aim to improve the connection between architects and the general public, emphasizing the importance of architecture that directly addresses the values and needs of society.

We all live in and use the city and the spaces that architects design, so we want the Beta Awards to recognize the preferences of the general public. The Public Award is our way of bringing quality architecture closer to the general public and promoting those architectural projects that make us proud of the cities we live in. Each person can vote for one project in the categories of Built Space, Interior Space, Public Space, Graduate Projects and Research.

The public vote will be open together with the awards exhibition and will run until the end of the competition, when the project with the most votes will be awarded at the Beta 2024 Awards Gala.

Text presentation of the author/office in English

Our practice is based on the continuous seek for a balance between architecture as a creative gesture with social responsibility and the requirements imposed by the clients and the ever-changing environment. The challenges of different contexts, scales and functions that define the projects we have worked so far have enriched our experience and prepared us for any challenges that a new project can bring. Over the years, we have gained wide experience in residential housing, which raised us the issue of improving the processes we build our cities and has facilitated our understanding of the complex nature of our profession, always seeking to deliver higher quality projects, which put the man in the spotlight.

Project description in English

Located in one of the former industrial areas of the city, this multifunctional ensemble stands out by initiating the revitalization process of the abandoned urban areas by connecting them with the city and community. From a functional point of view, the ensemble encompasses a number of complementary functions, such as commercial spaces, offices, apartments and green spaces, which have the role to animate the area where it is located. We have operated with simple volumes that have clear dominance relations and readable functional segregation. The ground floor accommodates the main entrances and commercial spaces, the first two floors, where are the offices, are forming a solid base for the towers, and the mezzanine is a buffer zone between them, highlighted by wide open spaces and green terraces.
