International Acabion Architecture Competition 2010

We announces its first international competition to enhance the knowledge of advanced architectural design towards an architecture of bionics and integrated systems within an inevitable complex context.

Description
Acabion stands for evolution, innovation, sustainability, research and humanity. Acabion Architecture focuses on highly performative design inspired by nature, technology and the basics of living. We are looking at design proposals which do not impose but value our basic human desires now and in future., we think evolutionary and not revolutionary. Therefore we are looking at contributions using software packages that take into account issues such as environmental powers, swarm intelligence, parametrics beauty and culture specific wisdom. We welcome all contributions subscribing to those parameters.
