Sarah Doyle on the Archiproducts Design Awards 2024 jury
As a seasoned brand leader, Sarah Doyle heads the Design Hotels brand, overseeing communications, digital marketing, PR and brand strategy, driving innovation within the company.
Sarah discovered her passion for hospitality while working for Starwood Hotels & Resorts, where she spent six years and ultimately became Global Brand Director for W Hotels Worldwide. During her tenure there, she opened many of the brand’s most iconic locations and led collaborations with the likes of Will.i.am, Billboard Music and the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
Sarah has also held senior positions at MSC Cruises, BACARDÍ Europe and Momentum Worldwide, where she developed marketing programmes for American Express across the music, fashion and film sectors, partnering with organisations like the Sundance Film Festival and IMG / New York Fashion Week.
Sarah splits her time between London and Berlin, often accompanied by her faithful Bernadoodle, Luna.
Chad Oppenheim on the Archiproducts Design Awards 2024 jury
Chad Oppenheim founded Oppenheim Architecture in 1999 with the mission of creating a new kind of sensual, site-specific architecture. His projects span various scales, typologies and locations, each responding thoughtfully to its context under the guiding principle that “design follows life and form follows feeling”.
A graduate of Cornell University and a Fellow of the AIA, Oppenheim has served as lead designer on countless global placemaking projects, working closely with clients to bring their visions to life. Supported by strong technical and design teams in Miami and Basel, his firm handles large and complex projects on every continent.
A traveller and cultural nomad from an early age, Oppenheim discovered how the power of place can enhance how people live, play or work. His monumental, timeless architecture enhances lives, realises the full potential of a site, and protects and celebrates the natural environment. He shapes buildings and places to balance creativity and pragmatism, function and experience, construction and aesthetics.
Oppenheim has lectured widely and taught at various architecture schools, including Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design and, most recently, Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art, and Planning. He has published two books – Spirit of Place(2018), a monograph on his practice featuring seven award-winning projects, and Lair: Radical Homes and Hideouts of Movie Villains (2019), a scholarly investigation into the cultural associations of modernist design with villainy in cinema.
Oppenheim’s work has received more than 90 industry awards, including more than 60 from the AIA, including the AIA’s highest honour, the Silver Medal, as well as a 2018 National Design Award from Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum and the 2023 American Prize for Architecture from the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design.
Mesura on the Archiproducts Design Awards 2024 jury
Mesura is a model of creativity. The firm finds lasting creative solutions by venturing into the unknown and rethinking how architecture and design are practised. Their work spans various mediums, including spatial projects, objects, resources and editorial work.
Each medium offers a unique opportunity to bring new ideas to life. Whether designing a space, crafting an object, curating resources or producing thought-provoking content, they approach each project with dedication and a commitment to excellence.
Underpinning their approach is a method rooted in a transdisciplinary mindset that seeks to connect various fields of design. Each project serves as an ongoing testing ground where the journey is as important as the outcome, in the belief that true innovation comes about when different perspectives and ideas intersect.
The call for entries for the 2024 edition of the Archiproducts Design Awards is still open
