Award - 2024
āćāćWASA-TOPāćāć
The World Architecture Student Award is one of the world's largest architecture student competitions held mainly in Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. This contest aims at the comprehensive ability of architectural students to carry out design subject works, submitted competitions, graduation design works, etc. that were undertaken by educational institutions related to architecture (universities, junior colleges, vocational schools, graduate schools). With the complex of statistics, typology and an introduction to architectural design, architectural design works can be quantified and judged fairly by comprehensive evaluation. In addition, we will issue a transcript that analyzes the abilities of the architectural designer in detail for all the submitted design works, quantitatively shows where and how much is done, and gives advice. In addition, a certificate will be awarded to works that are particularly excellent in various evaluation axes. This is not an arbitrary and very abstract examination, but shows the ability of the designer and hopes for the future development and success of architectural students. Everyone is aiming for a meaningful competition regardless of the type of work, grade, or country. (Executive Committee Chair Yusuke Shimizu)

WLS qualifying examination
ā100 award-winning works
WLS-Preliminary examination
Review period: August 2, 2024 - September 1, 2024
Results released: From September 2, 2024
WLS-World League Series
We will conduct a highly accurate comparative analysis with the past 50,000 works and objectively calculate the designer's ability.
Every year, 100 works are selected through preliminary screening and awarded with certificates. The 100 works will be given the right to participate in the second round.
Examination items
We will compare the submitted work with 50,000 design works from around the world and calculate the design ability for each design element.
The WASA competition will be judged from two perspectives: ``design proposal content'' and ``designer ability and personality.''
Analysis of design proposal content
Design elements are broadly classified into five categories: "A-Site," "B-Use," "C-Form," "D-Space," and "E-Act."
Are the five design elements proposed to users, operators, owners, businesses, designers, the country, region, and society as necessary? Are you able to show the designs, plans, and designs that you think are good? It may also be a solution to a problem or an interesting concept. If necessary, it may be necessary to propose possibilities such as scale, time, combinations, and relationships. Of course, the five design elements have a large impact on the thought process during design and any expression process during proposal.
In this way, we organize the infinite number of proposal patterns, objectively analyze your proposals, and respect your individuality.
Calculation of designer ability and personality
Objectively calculating ability is extremely difficult. There are two main abilities that designers are required to have when making proposals: ``Thinking ability (Production)'' and ``Expression ability (Presentation).'' However, there are an infinite number of other qualities inherent in a design proposal. In particular, ``originality'' and ``reality'' are often questioned. However, if we attach a hierarchy to properties like this, we cannot objectively evaluate them. Therefore, properties are set and judged as binary oppositions for each property. If it is ``uniqueness'', it is considered ``universality'', and by determining how much it touches on either, it picks up the designer's diverse individuality and possibilities.
Quantitatively diagnose "design ability and proposal properties" for "each element of a design proposal" by comparing it with past works.
This is an innovative examination method, rather than the old examination method by architects.
