Building Review (Photo: James Dow) Linear House, Saltspring Island, Canada - Cheered on by a large, chic crowd gathered from the worlds of design and fashion into Harbourfront Centre, Azure magazine editor Nelda Rodger unveiled her Toronto-based journal's first AZ Awards for excellence in international architecture and design one hot evening a couple of weeks ago. Hundreds of competitors (as individuals or in teams) from around the world had joined the race for the juried prizes since the contest was announced last year. These talented people submitted projects belonging to the several departments of visual imagination celebrated by the awards: landscape, residential and commercial architecture, office and shop interiors, lighting and furniture design, among others. There was a trophy for student work, one for unbuilt schemes and even one for unrealized – perhaps unrealizable – concepts.   more New Profiles   Architects Arch.
