Buildner is excited to reveal the results of the Museum of Emotions Competition/ Edition #5, an event that challenges architects and designers to explore how spaces evoke human emotions. Participants were tasked with designing a museum featuring two contrasting exhibition halls—one evoking positive emotions and the other negative—using only visuals to communicate their ideas.
The 1st Prize and Student Award were awarded to Minseok Choi and Jang Doyeong from South Korea for their design contrasting a floral, nature-inspired exterior with a dark, introspective interior, addressing sustainability and emotional dichotomies.
The 2nd Prize went to Hongyang Deng, 蔡 映雪, and Jianing Guo from China for their curvilinear structure harmonizing with a dramatic shoreline to guide visitors through emotional and spatial transitions.
The 3rd Prize was awarded to Thomas Tovar and Samantha Rodriguez from the United States for their tranquil, cave-like design blending openness and enclosure in a meditative architectural journey.
This year’s submissions were judged by a distinguished panel of architects and designers. Buildner extends its gratitude to all participants and invites the public to explore more in Architectural Emotions: Designing Experiences That Provoke Feelings, now available through Buildner Books.
