The committee for the 2002 Far Eastern International Digital Architectural Design Award (The 2002 FEIDAD Award) has created this award to encourage the exploration and definition of architectural design in the digital electronic age. In addition, this year the committee is launching a new award: The Digital Space Animation Award welcomes (but is not limited to) architects, artists, graphic designers, product designers, computer scientists, video game designers, film designers, and sci-fi novelists to submit animations that explore "future space in the digital era." The Animation Award aims to encourage architects and artists in all those disciplines to imagine and define the future spaces not only of buildings and cities but also of sci-fi literature, video games, film, and other products of the visual arts, thus contributing to advances in those fields as well.
