TRANSFER Architecture Video Award 2019: call for entries

TRANSFER Global Architecture Platform launch the TRANSFER Architecture Video Award 2019, an independent award to recognise the most creative and innovative short films in the field of architecture, city and landscape worldwide.

Video is becoming increasingly instrumental in analysing architecture and the human environment, and is directly related to the digital networks that underpin contemporary communication.

The TRANSFER Architecture Video Award aims to highlight the contributions that best represent new means of knowledge and analysis of architecture using video as a support.

Criteria
