Description
Sinocity, a fictitious city in an imaginary Chinese province, reflects more reality of mid-sized Chinese cities than many will admit. The Sinocities Awards seeks to explore awards ways of dealing with this status quo of the near future. The site or multiple sites can be freely chosen on the Sinocity map with no limitations to form, size or current boundaries. There are no applicable limitations in terms of planning regulations, codes or laws. The participant decides himself which regulations are of concern and which are not.
Just to make the task more understood, we give you some very simple examples of solutions.
You could...
... invent a new green connection system
... define an innovative program for awards public facilities
... introduce community space within high rise buildings
... come up with a long-term destruction plan for bad housing
