d3 is a New York-based design stewardship organization and publisher committed to advancing innovative positions in architecture, art, and design by providing a collaborative environment for architects, designers, artists, and students from around the world. d3 exhibitions, competitions, events, and publications are focused on generating dialogue and collaboration across geographic, ideological, and disciplinary boundaries in design and the built environment. Our mission seeks to unearth new approaches to connecting, form, space, and materiality with innovative notions of interiority and exteriority at various scales.
The 2016 competition calls for innovative proposals that advance sustainable thought and performance through the study of intrinsic environmental geometries, behaviors, and flows. By identifying, examining, and applying their structural order on form and function--bottom-up, performance-based solutions for limitless building typologies, functional programs, material conditions, and products may be realized.
