Aims

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.

Awards

Outstanding Award: 20,000 US dollars, a certificate, and a trophy.
Design Merit Award (three): Each of three awardees receives 1,000 US dollars, a certificate, and a trophy.
Animation Award: 5,000 US dollars, a certificate, and a trophy.

Award Ceremony and Animation Festival

All award winners will be invited to attend the FEIDAD ceremony in April 2003 in Taipei. A Digital Architecture Animation Festival will be held in a special session to illustrate the animation award and present the work of those included in the second-stage review.

Publications

The committee will invite the top 80 projects to be included in the FEIDAD yearbook, which is published by prestigious magazines and publishers. For further information, please refer to the FEIDAD 2000 and 2001 yearbooks published by Dialogue and Birkhauser.
