[@poorvi5277]

Your video couldn't have come at a more perfect time! I was actually sitting here, debating whether or not to take the plunge and enter a competition, and then I watched your video. You totally convinced me to go for it, and now I'm feeling really excited about the possibility of winning! I would absolutely love to get my hands on the Architecture Competitions Yearbook. Just the thought of flipping through the pages, checking out all the winning proposals and strategies, gets me so pumped up.

[@rodrigocolindres5774]

I want the book, to learn about architecture competitions and how to participate, by the way, thanks for the amazing content.

[@bemaarch]

Thank you for this amazing opportunity to be part of this video :) An incredible experience indeed!

[@ShowItBetter]

my pleasure! it was great to have the team here! for more to come

[@arthur_albert]

I'm not even into architecture but this video is so well produced ! Can't even remember the last time that I've watched something on yt without constantly jumping ahead. Nice job 👍

[@ShowItBetter]

Wow, thank you!

[@matthewnguyen2285]

Everytime I watch these types of videos, I get a burst of energy and inspiration. I appreciate and thank you for the time and energy into creating videos that make me wanna craft/create!

[@nolanlodholz8700]

The best books in my opinion to own are the ones that show so much graphic interest while still educating and/or tell a story. They make for incredible coffee table books that you glimpse over every once and awhile as well as books you can keep open for hours, while you pick up new skills. - love the video production btw, you knocked it out of the park ❤

[@DiegoLopez-rl3jk]

Hello, I am an architecture student, and with each year of studies my love for the career does not stop growing. I have always tried to be part of national and regional competitions in my country, Mexico, because I am fascinated by knowing the diversity and creativity of other students and architects, as well as their proposals; Very pleasant conversions are achieved. Unfortunately, I have never been able to participate in international competitions, and I understand that the book addresses competitions with participants from different parts of the world, and I would love to know the experience of said participants. Likewise, in a few weeks I will represent my university in another competition, I suppose the book can be of help hahaha

[@anajimenez8441]

How important is learning from many different types of drawing architecture, opening your mind and letting creativity flows! ❤

[@matiastobonn]

I am a student in my first year of architecture here in Colombia and I love being able to see so many references that emerge in my country🇨🇴. They are an inspiration and reason to continue on this path of architecture. I would also love to have the book to delve into the subject of competitions with more knowledge.

[@salmansa3467]

I have bought the previous books since 2020 to 2023 and I have to say the amount of inspiration that I got and how it changed my view of architecture as a whole really gave me great understanding of what makes architecture such important aspect of society

[@sn3259]

Thank you for this! I am a 2nd year architecture student and the maquette-style rendering resonates with me a lot compared to super realistic visualisation. I think it really captures the energy of the designers and strengthens the dialogue between architect and client. I believe that absorbing different techniques is so essential to learning, and what better way than seeing amazing work from the best!! I would love to add this book to my library :)

[@eduardocabrerahidalgo555]

Thank you for providing us with this content, this is something nobody does. Thank you!!

[@milanshrestha7929]

Being from nepal, these kind of sources turns out to be really a box of treasure for me , the book functions the same , a much to learn from.

[@joshigudala]

maquette style renders giving realistic perspective and showing day to day use of the space is unreal I always thought i need photorealistic renders to covey my thought this just changed my mind and the axonometric images are way cooler with different colours

[@shovanlalsarker8226]

As a third-year Architecture Student, I'm eager to learn from the great examples of successful design competitions. I have collected ACY 2019, 2020 and 2021. Somehow missed their 2022 edition. Winning the 2023 edition would be a fantastic addition to my collection and provide me with even more valuable insights and inspiration for my studies. Also Thank you for this type analyzation video on great presentation boards ❤

[@55_salehafatima57]

As an architecture student, winning the competitions yearbook is crucial for me. It's not just a book; it's a treasure trove of strategies, designs, and processes that lead to success in architectural competitions. With this invaluable resource, I'll gain the inspiration and guidance needed to excel in my field and elevate my educational journey to new heights😊🙌🏻

[@jacobvarnell9579]

I’m a second year student at Oklahoma state university and these kinds of books are what continually give me inspiration, as someone who is always trying to grow their architectural library I’d love a copy

[@hskrgrad]

I am always inspired by the competition process. It brings back fond memories of school. Seems many of us don't get the opportunity to practice in this manner in our typical day to day. It is good to be reminded why we love Architecture.

Im an architect too , i see these big competitors in the world , solving problems! What an amazing job to have , i never have the huchpa to take part in such competitive world but i know i can do it , just need a little push ! This year book might help ❤

[@architect_sarath_jose]

Your architecture presentation is a captivating blend of creativity and precision, showcasing meticulous attention to detail and a keen eye for design. Each slide effortlessly unveils the story behind your visionary concepts, leaving us inspired and eager to witness the future of architectural innovation unfold. Truly an enlightening experience.❤️

[@connorcole1375]

I am a second year architecture student and I gotta say, this was a great presentation of their work! I am very interested and now I want to see all the winners of other competitions in the book!

[@guilhermeweber8961]

The projects focus on the social function of architecture, which is precisely the biggest reason that made me go to architecture school

[@henrycad4631]

I’m a senior in high school waiting to start architecture next year. I think this book would be of great help to guide me in my studies in terms of branding, concept and presentation. It especially shows what the innovation in architecture looks like today which would be very inspiring ! Loved the video as always❤

[@ShowItBetter]

Cheers for participating! The winner's been announced, but we're not done yet - check our IG later this week for another chance to win a book!

[@robertagomas]

since this year is my last year in university and i'm currently working on my architecture graduation project it would be amazing to have such a rich source of references and projects made all around the world with this Architecture Competitions Yearbook!

[@Wusuoweideren]

Reminds me the days I learned architecture. Feels great and curious about everything.

[@ShowItBetter]

I felt the same way when talking to them! It made me want to sign up to a competition!

[@vandanahadke8030]

The book would be a great source to get to know what goes through the mind of an architect while designing. I would love to know the journey and thoughtfulness in the project rather than just final outcomes.

[@abreucaroline]

I'm from Brazil, always followed your channel and it's always been the one that most inspired me to participate in architecture competitions, but havent had the courage to venture into it yet, and still feel insecure. As an architect, I'm sure this book will bring me great inspiration and excellent learning, just like this wonderful video. Congratulations on always being able to deliver content of such high quality ❤

[@ShowItBetter]

Best of luck!

[@j.m5888]

Thanks for the excellent video, and for showcasing hard work like this. So often the countless hours that go into competition entries is just overlooked. Keep it coming!

[@ssmorgenstern26]

I graduated a year ago but there’s so much room for improvement. I’m doing my Masters degree now. Would love the chance to learn how to strategize my presentations for better graphic communication and actually get to the standard I’ve seen from so many good designers and students from more fortunate countries! We all need inspiration to stay in love with architecture.

[@JustGeorgeGG]

You should make your own architecture competition I would participate for sure

[@johnfabros678]

As first year architecture student I understand all the challenges and risk i will encounter, this book will be one of teh ways to gain knowledge and to open my mind to further ideas and concepts I really want and need this!!!

[@dorted_magazine]

I love the vizual Language of the project it gives this fun, kind of playful feeling but doesn't fail to deliver the intricate information. I'll love to have that book, to learn from others I haven't participated in any yet but that's probably because of my skill level and environment here in southern Nigeria. Hopefully it'll nourish my presentation skills and also others close to me.

[@SofiaTaveira]

I believe a competition can trigger ideas, discussions, creavitity and passion. It's a very complete way to make the world understand that architecture is not just one "thing". I guess a competition can really 'Show it Better' :)

[@ShowItBetter]

🥺🥺I loved this comment! thank you for participating. Although I already chose the winner, there will be a second giveaway via IG in case your interested cheers Sofia! (I think I remember reviewing your portfolio? maybe not... either way! !

[@SofiaTaveira]

@@ShowItBetter Thank you so much Steven, I never had the chance to get my portfolio reviewd by you but would love to! I will definitley participate on the IG giveaway :) see you there

[@priyankak8764]

I was always amazed as how people can create such amazing visuals. Your videos always helped me thinking I can do that too. This video was so inspiring as I am working on similar kind of tight knit spaces.

[@mikeandrade3629]

I am gearing up to join a competition but I’ve been procrastinating mainly because I don’t know where to start. Not only this book, but videos like these serve as a guide and a form of inspiration. It would be dope to get my hands on it! Thanks Steve!

[@alexandermetze7118]

I am in a competition right now and I believe this book would help me see if there are any extra elements to add to the presentation board that I might not think of. Also a great way of learning how to create exceptional presentations!

[@amrisharavind]

I would love to work on this type of project. It's interesting to see different styles of graphical representation for one project and the amount of detail it contains. It's amazing 👏

[@abuzaidkareem]

the way your channel portrays architecture and the architectural design process in all different scenarios is a truly valuable resource for, i think wining the book would offer me an extension to these resources, and would be a freat guide on how to better myself as an architectural student soon to enter the feild

[@chavez2433]

Would love for this to be the first book in my collection! Currently getting my masters in Arch and love all the tips and tricks, appreciate you all!

[@ShowItBetter]

Heartfelt thanks to all participants! We’ve chosen a winner, but the excitement continues with another book giveaway on our IG later in the week!

[@joaquin1322]

I’m a second year architecture student, and I believe the competition year book would be useful to me to see how drawings and imagery are used to develop a story/continue a concept. My studio is currently entering us individually into a completion and this book would also be useful in seeing what winning competitions designs and boards look like! Awesome video!

[@ShowItBetter]

Thanks for being part of this! Though a winner has been decided, our IG will feature another book giveaway later in the week. Don’t miss it!

[@jamesbautch6033]

As a student still studying and learning every day, I believe this book would serve as endless inspiration for all future studio projects. It has even inspired me to compete in some competitions, although I’m not sure of the typical information, layout, or drawings required for these.

[@ShowItBetter]

Congratulations! You’ve won the book! Send me please your email through my Instagram DM and I’ll sort out the rest!

[@mehdibentemessek4988]

Hi everyone! I had a lot of fun going through the video and the architectural references as well as the echoes of the winning project. the Yearbook seems to be a gold mine for both the ideational, graphic and visual rendering of any competition project. Being a Tunisian architecture student, we somehow lack such key knowledge elements to elevate our proposals. This opportunity will really allow me to give value to concepts and storytelling and ultimately to cultivate the necessary motivation in order to take part in other competitions and subjectivities.

[@flvrng4778]

One of the best books which could help boost our inspiration especially how the drawings are presented graphically

[@noboatiman]

This video was so informative, it practically bricked my knowledge meter! Time to rebuild with even stronger architecture facts. Thanks!

[@javierhatem8524]

I'm an 8-semester student from México and I'm starting the process to write my thesis and get my architecture degree and I have found a lot of value on knowing how other people has solve the problems that I'm into too. And the main reason why I want to win this book is because I believe that we can learn from anyone and anywhere. Knowing different winner projects from around the world in one unique format it's an amazing opportunity to elevate my design process and my understanding in architecture and I really love to know on detail what were the decisions that this genius people make to achieve such an incredible and creative projects

[@ShowItBetter]

Thank you for throwing your hat in the ring! We've just picked a winner, but your chance hasn't slipped away. Stay tuned to our IG later this week for another book giveaway you won't want to miss

[@galipalbo]

Beautiful project and beautiful studio. Incredible job, congratulations!

[@omniya6750]

I graduated a year ago and planing to do my masters and I think the book will inspire me in my academic life

[@ankitsreeranj8999]

As a student of architecture It provides with inspiration for my own projects by providing an abundance of creative ideas, original concepts, and varied approaches from other contests. Examining the winning entries helps one improve their own abilities and knowledge of the area by offering insights into effective design tactics, presentation methods, and project implementation. Yearbooks frequently include biographies of participants, jurors, and organizers, providing a means for students to network with professionals in the field and possibly paving the way for future collaboration or mentoring. It is a useful resource for studying previous contests, identifying patterns, and tracking the development of architectural language and design techniques across time. For student like me having my work published or included in a book of that kind can serve as a major source of inspiration and motivation

[@donaldpeters4917]

Fabulous that you tracked down the office that did the competition - used some of these ideas in a competition we just finished. Enter me in the draw if it is still open...

[@tommyorsan]

These 8 minutes have been more valuable than the 6 semester I've been in architecture school

[@PhotoshopProPlayer]

I need this book because I'm passionate about architectural competition and constantly seeking inspiration and knowledge to improve my skills and stay updated on the latest trends and winning strategies in architectural competitions.

[@rileyhinton8860]

It would be a massive inspiration for me. Just currently completing my Year 12 studies and would be incredibly useful to see how to improve for my final project! Love the content!

[@miral.2197]

I've always wanted to participate in design competitions, managed to do so in a few but never really made it through successfully. Seeing others' competition works have been inspirational to also take part though have usually wondered how do the participants manage the time and workability. I'm at a point that I don't really want to win a competition but to give myself the satisfaction of submitting a worthy project that helps me grow in being competitive in this architectural industry. Hopefully, this book would inspire me to do so.

[@chenmanlong]

Thank you for sharing this to us. I am an architectural master year 1 student and i always look forward to learn from other people's design, especially competition. I would really love to have this book as it can provide more inspiration for my future projects.

[@vinzrossy]

As an architecture student, I believe that this book gives me an opportunity to learn what distinguishes a good architectural project from a well-communicated one because it's often the power of communication that gives the project that winning "wow" effect. Besides I think that books like this represent the best source of research to feed our curiosity and stimulate our creativity. Building your own representation language is not at all easy and the only way to improve is to fix millions of images in your mind by learning to discern the best ones from the infinite set. Greetings from Italy

[@ShowItBetter]

Thanks for your involvement! While we've already picked a winner, keep your eyes peeled on our IG for another book giveaway coming up this week! Also thank you for this awesome comment! I totally agree!

[@jamespope2414]

I am almost finished my architecture education in the UK, and really want to enter some competitions alongside my career. This book looks perfect for inspiration and I would love to win!

[@KUNALDHANAWADE-gm4mq]

I really hope that one day i will also able to create this type designs but for that definitely i will required such an amazing reference. In my country everyone thinks that architecture competition are just for winning and losing but i think this competition are for learning if i get that book then I'll get one more step toward my goal. Thank you.

[@evanntaf134]

Αfter a few competitions that didn't go well for me this book will be just what I need to figure out what I should have done differently! Greetings from Greece!

[@josharch]

This would be a hugely valuable reference book! Especially as a student entering his first year in Architecture... Here goes

[@ShowItBetter]

Thanks for joining us! We've picked a winner, but keep an eye on our IG for another book giveaway happening later this week!

[@thedreamysketches7698]

Really enjoy watching ur vids and integrating them in my designs, as a whole I never really understood the concept of visualisation and presentation methods that had a strong base in architecture, until I found ur channel, it really matters the design,functionality and our visualisation.

[@safarbekrahmonov8193]

Of course: As an architecture student, I've been looking at this book for quite some time now. What particularly interests me about it is getting a glimpse into what's happening in the "real world" of architecture. Sometimes in our studies, we come up with super crazy ideas, and I wonder if they can actually be realized in practice. On the other hand, I'm also interested in the methods of representation: which direction should I focus on to improve my skills? Should I learn realistic rendering or focus more on illustration? Where is the golden mean? This book is exactly what I've been wishing for. I even checked our university library, but unfortunately, this book is not available there)

[@ShowItBetter]

Your involvement was invaluable! A winner has been selected, but the opportunity isn’t over - watch our IG for another book giveaway later this week! In many universities you can fill out a form to include this book in their library!

[@matiastobonn]

Soy un estudiante en mi primer año de arquitectura acá en Colombia y me encanta poder ver tantos referentes que surgen en mi País.🇨🇴 Son una inspiración y motivo para continuar en este camino de la arquitectura.

Had a play around with D5 great to see its good enough to help win comps!

[@2k3-n6x]
