Urbantine Project - Fast Architecture Competition

コンペ結果

The winner of The Urbantine Project 2007 has now been decided.

"Work/Space/Ply/Time (W/S/P/T)" by emerging architect Alex Haw was selected from 40 entries which made their way in front of our judging panel. W/S/P/T impressed judges in its detail, imagination and feasibility in response to the brief; entrants were invited to explore the changing nature of the 21st Century workspace whilst considering concepts of Fast Architecture.

W/S/P/T dissects the subject of working intimately by utilising every piece of redundant space within a compact and ergonomically designed structure. The structure itself can be erected without the use of rivets or glue – the basis of the design being a series of interlocking panels.

Alex Haw, currently a tutor at the AA, studied at The Bartlett and began his architectural career as architectural assistant within several leading practices including Nicolas Grimshaw & Partners and Diller + Scofiio. Haw now runs Atmos, a fledgling architectural practice. Details of Haw's latest work can be seen at www.aaschool.net/lighthive.

Description
The Urbantine Project emerged from the realization that there are limited opportunities for unrecognized architects and designers to showcase their ideas and philosophy in the UK.

The Urbantine Project at Tent London provides an opportunity to readdress this issue, affording the winning entry the opportunity to put their design in front of thousands of the most influential designers, companies and design-savvy consumers during London Design Week at Tent London, Truman Brewery, Brick Lane. The winning entry will also have the opportunity to engage with an organisation, Workspace Group, which aims to provide progressive, appropriate, affordable and considered workspace accommodation for London’s creative industries.
