    The Daylight Award 2020

    On May 16th, the UNESCO International Day of Light, The Daylight Award announce the 2020 Laureates: Juha Leiviskä for his architecture, Russell Foster for his research, and, exceptionally, for this year, The Daylight Award is also been awarded to Henry Plummer for his lifetime achievement. The Daylight Award honours and supports daylight research and daylight in architecture, for the benefit of human health, wellbeing and the environment. The award places specific emphasis on the interrelation between theory and practice.

    The Daylight Award was established by the philanthropic
    foundations Villum Fonden, Velux Fonden and Velux Stiftung,
    and is conferred biennially in two categories; The Daylight Award
    for Research and The Daylight Award for Architecture. This
    year, an additional category for lifetime achievement was added.
    The award is given as personal prizes, and each to the sum of
    €100,000. This year also marks the 40th anniversary of the
    very first Daylight Award, given to Danish architect Jørn
    Utzon, the architect of the iconic Sydney Opera House.

    While Finnish architect Leiviskä received the award for his works
    of architecture that demonstrate a unique ability to make daylight
    an integral element of his buildings, British architect Russell Foster
    was recognised for his clinical studies in circadian neuroscience,
    and American architecture professor and photographer Henry
    Plummer received the award for lifetime achievement by recording
    daylight phenomena in his brilliant photography and writing.

    “While laureate Russell Foster studies the science behind the effect of light on human behaviour and physical and mental wellbeing, laureates Juha Leiviskä and Henry Plummer approach the effects and implications of daylight intuitively through architectural design, photographic expression and verbal mediation of these human responses. Whether elucidating the neural effects of light or invoking the poetic essence of light, the laureates of the 2020 Daylight Award demonstrate to us the power of natural light.” The Daylight Award 2020 jury.

     

    The Daylight Award 2020 for Architecture:
    Juha Leiviskä, architect


    Leiviskä is one of the most significant contemporary architects in Finland. In his works, he demonstrates a unique ability to make daylight an integral element of his buildings, in a way that combines emotional stimulus, functionality, and a subtle yet thrilling presence of light as part of the spatial experience. In the current context of environmental values of architecture and the use of natural resources to create natural and sustainable comfort, the work of Leiviskä on daylight is particularly relevant today. The jury noted that his light does not only illuminate surfaces, but it also appears to originate and exist vibrantly in the architectural space itself. An especially subtle effect in his light articulations is the use of reflected colour, which makes colour a constantly changing, kinetic and pulsating phenomenon.

     

    The Daylight Award 2020 for Research:
    Russell Foster, neuroscientist


    Professor Foster is director of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Head of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford, UK. In 2015, he received a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to science. The author of nearly 200 scientific publications and four popular science books, he is also a widely sought speaker and lecturer. His interest is in the understanding of how the circadian rhythm and the sleep-wake rhythm are generated and modulated.

     

    The Daylight Award 2020
    Henry Plummer, photographer


    Architectural academic Plummer has devoted his career to researching daylight in architecture. An emeritus professor, he taught architectural history and design at the Center for Advanced Study, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He gained his MArch degree from MIT, studied light-art with artist, photographer, educator and art theorist György Kepes, and was a photographic apprentice to Minor White.
