AWARDS GOALS & VISIONS
Studying, analyzing, selecting and sharing architecture and design projects with interactions between tradition and modernity is the main goal of this program. How architecture & design have respect to culture and how culture is being updated with today`s user and how to keep past and identity beside modernity are some other important factors of this award. The problem(s) is cleared (How to have this combination or is this combination needed?) but the solution (s) needs such kind of discussions which TraMod ACADEMY, as the first center in the world, is looking for. If you have paid attention to cultures, societies, identity, traditions,
history, past, today and future in your design projects, TraMod AWARDS is the correct
destination to submit what you have done. We are looking for solutions of interactions
between tradition and modernity in architecture and design and these
interactions may include concept, idea, appearance, meaning or construction
