In 2017 there were 34 finalists with ARUP/ Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler receiving the honour of becoming Surface Design Awards Supreme Winner 2017 for their stunning project The Broad Museum in Los Angeles.
Pavlina Arkitas, Senior Lighting Designer at Arup said:
“It’s clear that this is an incredibly special, visually stimulating building and it’s great for it to have been recognised with this award. The airy, honeycomb-like ‘veil’ that envelopes the structure effectively filters natural daylight across the space, which was a unique and exciting challenge for us to work with. I really believe that this project wouldn’t have been possible without the close collaboration between the client, the architect and the design team”.
Sponsors for the 2018 Awards are Business Design Centre, James Latham and Eden Anglo Veneers.
