Focus 2020: Mending

Each year, the OBEL AWARD jury presents a particular focus and invites a select group of professionals worldwide to submit suggestions that comply with both the overriding aim of the award as well as the annual theme.

For the 2020 OBEL AWARD, the focus is: Mending through architecture.

The jury will give preference to projects that demonstrate an awareness of and response to the subject of resources (or environmental equity), while at the same time giving leeway to innovation/invention and/or cross-disciplinary collaborations.
