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)

These students are participating

A detailed analysis of the architect's abilities will be performed on all submitted designs, and a certificate of merit will be issued, quantitatively indicating where and how well the architect has performed, and providing advice. In addition, certificates will be awarded for particularly outstanding work in the various evaluation categories. This is not an arbitrary and highly abstract judging process, but one that demonstrates the designer's ability and encourages the future development and success of architecture students. We aim to create a meaningful competition for everyone, regardless of the type of work, grade, or country. (Yusuke Shimizu, Chairperson of the Executive Committee)

Method

 New architectural design proposals are still being proposed, but are they really new proposals? If design works are deconstructed and reconstructed, most of them could be predicted. Also, by using ultra-high-precision Ai, it may be possible to elucidate the entire pattern of architectural design and visualize the general idea of architectural design. By applying the Ai system being developed by the World Architectural Design Institute, it will be possible to perform ultra-high-precision esquisse that cannot be done by humans, and will be able to present similar proposal patterns and present the best proposal. This Ai genius designer was born in August 2020 and continues to grow rapidly. We hope that this activity will improve the level of architectural design for architectural students across the country, and that it will help architectural design proposals to play an active role in society.

New Precision Grading Evaluation Transcript

Feedback on 4 items

Calculate rankings from an objective perspective, including professional architectural esquisites based on past statistics, and We assist from various perspectives by presenting related architectural works and books, consulting suitable competitions and laboratories, and recruiting suitable companies.

advice


We provide accurate advice by comparing and analyzing the advice of more than 100 architects and past cases. We provide objective advice based on statistical data from AI, rather than the subjective advice of an architect.

ranking calculation

 

Our scoring technology for designers' various abilities enables us to calculate a wide range of rankings, from national and world rankings by grade level to historical rankings. We do not calculate rankings based on overall scores, but rather by ability from a variety of perspectives to evaluate a wide range of abilities.

presentation of a case

 

We will present similar design proposals submitted in the past, as well as relevant examples of existing buildings, architectural philosophy, and architectural history. By calculating similar proposals from multiple perspectives, we can stimulate the creativity of designers and help them brush up their work for job hunting and graduate school examinations.

Path Assistance


We can consult with laboratories that are conducting similar research on a national or global level and find you a suitable job based on your submitted work to broaden your career path or match you with a suitable job.
