Vision Energy, Finalist
This future-oriented concept looks at the topics of ecological sustainability as one of the greatest challenges of our time. It visualizes the abstract and almost imperceptible process regarding the consumption of natural resources at a personal and societal level.
Small objects for private households and sculptures for public spaces reflect, by way of structural and formal mutations, the economization of resources in terms of a benchmark value as defined by the IRO (International Resource Organisation). By means of a three step scale symbolizing either no economization, justifiable average consumption or the achievement of the benchmark value, the subject of energy comes visually alive and at the same time encourages society to be more conscious regarding the usage of resources.

Finding of the Jury:
This inspirational, beautiful sculptural work embodies one of the most critical issues of our time and expands the parameters of civic design. It has the capacity to engage and bring together an urban population, to raise awareness and educate people and to encourage social action and responsibility about the environment.
The jury would like to see further research into finding viable materials and technology to accomplish the constantly changing geometry of the sculpture.
