    Dormakaba receives two prizes at the Iconic Award 2023

    The Rümlang-based company dormakaba, which specialises in building access management, has won two awards at the Iconic Award 2023: Innovative Architecture, according to a media release. The EntriWorX EcoSystem door system and the Argus V60 sensor lock were each honoured with a winner in the Product-Building Technologies category. The awards ceremony took place on 4 October at BMW Welt in Munich.

    The EntriWorX EcoSystem is an innovative hardware and software application that supports the planning, installation and commissioning of access solutions along the building creation process and thus optimises the building planning process, according to dormakaba’s description. Architects, planners, fabricators and operators can access the same planning data for a door in every performance phase. Planning processes, installation procedures and operation would be simplified by the minimisation of door configurations and the digital networking of components.

    Regarding the new Argus V60 sensor barrier, the company points to the compactness of the model, which offers safety and efficiency in the smallest of spaces. Thanks to modern sensor technology, the sensor barrier gives architects and users more freedom in personal protection and separation detection. Argus V60 is one of the smallest full-featured sensor barriers on the market. RFID readers for transponders or tags, barcode scanners or escape route components can be integrated.

    At the award ceremony in Munich, Bernhard Heitz, Strategic Product Design at dormakaba, presented the special prize sponsored by the company in the Architects of the Year category to Sou Fujimoto Architects from Japan.

    Sensor gate from dormakaba receives iF Design Award

    The new Argus V60 sensor interlock from dormakaba has won an award in the building technology category at this year’s iF Design Awards, the globally active locking technology group from Rümlang informs in a press release. The Argus V60 is designed for foyers with lift systems or office buildings.

    The sensor barrier can also be used to separate floors or parts of the entrance area of buildings. Here, the airlock, which can be integrated “in the smallest of installation spaces”, “blends into the architecture like a piece of furniture”, writes dormakaba. As further advantages of the Argus V60, dormakaba lists “security, elegance and efficiency in the smallest of spaces”.

    With the iF Design Award, the iF International Forum Design GmbH annually honours outstanding achievement in the design of products in a variety of categories. For this year’s iF Design Award, almost 11,000 entries from 56 countries competed for the quality seal for excellent design.

    The iF Design Award is not the first award for the Argus V60. In February, the sensor-equipped personal interlock from dormakaba had already convinced the jury at the German Design Award of the German Design Council.
