Architecture, Designs For Town Planning, Open

There were 58 participants from 14 countries who took part in architecture with 63 exhibits (including “hors concours“). The architects were offered a wide range of possibilities. There were drawings, watercolors, perspective drawings, sketches and photographs of construction projects to be submitted, … whose ultimate purpose is related to the training exercises of sport, such as stadiums, sports grounds, playgrounds, covered lanes, club buildings, boat houses, gymnasiums, bathhouses etc., and meet high artistic standards. The exhibits for the two competitions “Town Planning” and “Architectural Design” were identical, but were assessed separately for both categories. Therefore, works that were not awarded with a medal cannot be attributed to either category.

In architecture, all six medals were awarded. Probably for the first time, so-called “Honourable Mentions” were also expressed. The jury for architecture consisted of mostly well-known architects from the USA.

British architect John Hughes won the gold medal for _ Design of a Sports and Recreation Centre with Stadium for the City of Liverpool_. His design, however, was not realized.

The silver medalist was Danish architect Jens Houmøller Klemmensen with his _ Stadium and Public Park. Marathon Park, which won the bronze medal, was the work of Belgian architect André Verbeke.
