Filmmaker and visual designer Gary Hustwit will head up the judging panel for the new Dezeen Awards media categories.
Hustwit will oversee the judging of the five new categories, which will reward photography, video, visualisations and websites across the industry.
"Social media and websites are the main way we're experiencing [architecture and design] now," explained Hustwit.
"If there's a new building somewhere, the reality is that only a tiny amount of people will actually get to visit," he added.
So how a building or interior design is represented in photography and video is almost more important than the in real-life experience."
Gary Hustwit, who has produced 13 feature documentaries, as well as releasing over 40 films through Plexifilm, has had film and photographic work featured in exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art New York, Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, Design Museum London, Venice Biennale, Storefront for Art and Architecture New York, among others.
Eight media awards judges
Hustwit will head a panel of ten judges for the categories. Other judges include Dezeen head of video Oliver Manzi, Swiss designer Micha Weidmann, architect Charlotte Skene Catling, photographer Fernando Guerra and Swedish photographer Jeanette Hägglund. More media judges will be announced soon.
"I just love looking at all this stuff," said Hustwit when enthusing about being a judge.
"I generally gravitate toward strong, innovative concepts. The underlying idea is what's important to me, rather than the execution or budget," he added.
The judges will be looking for beautiful, engaging content and technical mastery across the five categories.
