Architizer\u2019s coveted A+Award isn\u2019t just a badge of creative distinction, it\u2019s also a beautiful piece of design itself. Winning the trophy represents hours of dedication to a project, and upon holding the actual award, every architect and designer should feel the weight of their success. This year, we\u2019re teaming up with DuPont Surfaces<\/a>, the official trophy sponsor for the Fifth Annual A+Awards, to create a better, bolder and even more beautiful award than ever before.<\/p>\n

DuPont Surfaces will join us in our continued collaboration with Snarkitecture<\/a>, the Brooklyn-based collaborative art and architecture practice that designed our iconic trophy for last year\u2019s A+Awards. Snarkitecture is a firm well-versed in design at every scale; its diverse portfolio includes everything from popup shops<\/a> to choreographed performances<\/a>, not to mention the world\u2019s most surreal manmade \u201cocean.\u201d<\/a> For 2017, this innovative studio will be conjuring up a brand-new trophy made entirely out of DuPont\u2019s signature Corian<\/a>\u00ae.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

DuPont Surfaces is a strategic business within DuPont, the 215-year-old science-based product and services company committed to creating sustainable solutions in various global industries. Their world-famous Corian is a dynamic solid surfacing material widely used for its superior performance and aesthetic quality, design flexibility, durability and cleanability. For years, architects and designers have incorporated the material in commercial and residential environments through numerous applications including wall cladding, countertops, furniture, lighting fixtures and decorative pieces.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Corian<\/b>is an incredibly easy-to-mold material and can be crafted to produce seamless and stunning organic shapes. Architizer will collaborate with Snarkitecture and DuPont to highlight the capabilities of Corian within the trophy\u2019s design, which will include the signature \u201c+\u201d symbol \u2014 a sign that represents the exceptional nature of the winning projects. Five special awards will be made from the new 2017 DuPont Corian color palette<\/a>, while the other 102 awards will be produced with the classic white Corian.<\/p>\n
