À propos de cette édition

The 17th Memar Award competition received 311 submissions across four categories: Individual Dwellings, Apartment Buildings, Renovation, and Public Buildings. In the first round, 134 projects advanced to the semifinal stage and were asked to submit their full documentation. The second-round judging took place on October 7-8, 2017 (Mehr 15-16, 1396) with a jury panel comprising Hossein Sheikh Zeineddin, Reza Daneshmir, Ali Kermanian, Rambod Eilkhani, and Zhi Wenjun from China. On the first day, the jury narrowed the 134 semifinalists down to finalists through a process of elimination using individual negative votes. On the second day, each juror selected their top choices, and then individually ranked their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place preferences with scores of 3, 2, and 1 points respectively. Tehran Book Garden won unanimously in the Public Buildings category with a perfect score of 15 points.

Processus de jugement

The judging process followed a three-step methodology: (1) Each juror was given individual colored stickers to cast negative votes, eliminating projects from the semifinal pool — remaining projects became finalists. (2) From the finalists, each juror selected their preferred projects with positive votes (colored stickers). Projects receiving no positive votes were eliminated. (3) Each juror individually ranked their top three choices: 3 points for 1st place, 2 points for 2nd place, 1 point for 3rd place. Final rankings were determined by aggregate scores. Jurors could also nominate projects for special commendation.
