Overview

Innovative ideas, design projects, new techniques and research initiatives that highlight insights into contemporary directions of architecture and design relative to environments, ecology and sustainability

Description
The goal of the competition is to promote and reveal the potency of new work, be it conceptual, experimental or realized. The organizers view this as a unique opportunity to exhibit and publish relevant and important new projects as well as to help visualize and comprehend current strands of investigation within this realm. Within a period where environmental and sustainable issues seem to address most projects, the competition aims to locate projects which explore discovered potential and redefine common parameters within design.
Projects will be evaluated on their ability to address the larger contextual issues of environments, ecology and sustainability and, most importantly, on their potential to develop new design methodologies in relation to these parameters. We hope to reward projects that integrate theory and technique, tectonics and materials, policy and context.
