INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION

SENSORY MUSEUM 2024

RESULTS!

Foreword

It is with immense excitement that we announce the results of the Sensory Museum Design Competition 2024, a remarkable initiative organized by Archiol Competitions. This third edition has been a journey of imagination and innovation, where participants from across the globe have embraced the challenge of redefining architectural spaces through the lens of sensory design.

The competition was a call to delve deeper into the intricate relationship between architecture and human psychology, urging participants to craft spaces that transcend conventional museums and evoke emotional and psychological responses. In a world that is rapidly advancing in technology and urbanization, the Sensory Museum Design Competition has served as a platform for creative visionaries to push the boundaries of architectural thought.

The submissions we received were nothing short of exceptional. Each design captured the essence of sensory architecture in its own unique way, showcasing how space can profoundly influence perception, emotion, and the human experience. We were inspired by the bold ideas, creative ingenuity, and dedication to exploring the potential of architecture to connect with the human psyche.

As we celebrate the winners of this competition, we also honor every participant who contributed their vision to this global conversation on architecture's impact on human emotions and experiences. The Sensory Museum 2024 competition has demonstrated once again that architecture is not just about constructing spaces—it is about shaping the way we feel, think, and connect with the world around us.

Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to all participants for your contribution to this inspiring journey. We look forward to seeing how these visionary concepts will shape the future of sensory architecture.

JURY COMMENTS

“Poetic approach weaves together historical context, natural environments, and sensory experiences to create a transformative journey.”
-Yang Fei

“The project offers an innovative sensory journey blending history and environment. While the vertical structure and underwater experience are unique, the design risks sensory overload. Simplifying transitions and enhancing climate control would improve comfort. Increased community engagement and attention to environmental impact could further elevate the museum's educational value.”
-Rui Huang
