Description
The objective of the Prize is to explore and to design architectural systems for temporary architecture in general - specific aspects such as mobility, component design, transport, etc. should be essential characteristics to the concepts. The temporary units could deal with the issues of exhibition, shows, demonstrations, performances of any kind, ideally the function has a communal or social relevance and includes people as spectators, actors, audience, etc.
The concepts can encourage flexible, individual units or open lightweight structures and try to define spaces in a subtle manner. A high degree of attention should be given to the issues of adequacy of construction, dimension, material and detail.
