BudapesBudapest, June 4, 2007 – The final results of the 2007 spring http://architectsJURY.com design competition for architectural students were announced today by Graphisoft.

Based on four months of completely open voting by the community of http://architectsJURY.com the "JURY" elected the Apartment House project in Sarov, Russia as the winning entry. The project was designed and completely modeled in ArchiCAD by Ilya Ilin who is currently a 7th grade student of architecture at Nizhny Novgorod State University in Russia. "This project attempts to come nearer to Plato's world of pure geometrical idea - the idea of forms, whose beauty is of not relative but absolute character. A visual connection of volume with an environment..." says Ilya Ilin about his design.

To see more pictures of the winning entry and other works of Ilya Ilin please visit http://www.architectsjury.com/pages/competition/2007-spring-semester/winners/. If you missed the competition this time, don’t worry, you have an equal chance to win in the next series, the 2007 Fall ArchitectsJURY competition. For application details please visit:
