PORT-INSPIRED VERNACULAR WINS HONORS
LOS ANGELES, CA – Among thousands of entries from over 65 countries, MA's Brake Point 26 has earned an honorable mention from Architecture MasterPrize. The AMP seeks to advance the appreciation and exposure of quality architectural design worldwide.
Inspired by the stacked shipping container vernacular along the Port of Thessaloniki, Brake Point 26 creates a new urban experience. Characterized by asymmetrically stacked volumes that appear hoisted and suspended while held in motion, Brake Point 26 draws upon its surroundings. The project aims to achieve a balance of density versus open space, of practical versus inspiration, of structure versus lightness, of built versus natural.
"This concept is a bold idea," shared John Myefski, President + Principal at Myefski Architects. "It is encouraging to know the jury recognized the intrepid approach and its sophisticated reinterpretation."
