The app, for Apple and Android smartphone and tablets, can be dowloaded at www.woodawards.com and is a digital development on the Awards winners’ magazine, including additional information, extra photos and also video links for projects. Sponsors, winners and shortlisters for both the construction and furniture categories have also been invited to host direct links to their website for users who want to enquire further about the buildings, furniture or materials.
"The Wood Awards winner’s magazine is a great resource and inspiration for anyone interested in, working with and designing for wood," said David Venables, European director of the American Hardwood Export Council, one of the Wood Awards lead sponsors. "Taking it online and into app stores is a fantastic step forward. Architects and designers have truly embraced digital platforms as part of their working lives, and the Wood Awards is now part of that vital mix."
