Architectural Challenge Competition 2013

3rd Architectural challenge – committed to under 40 architects and students.

72 hours to shape, imagine and fortify your ideas. A weekend to conceive. A chance to challenge each other, have fun and win awesome rewards.

This design contest aims to increase the value of degraded town areas, which waiting just a smart idea to become likable urban places.

We choose no subject that will be built for real. Also we focus in a short time the project period. That allows participants to go in for just creativity, and no spent so much time and crafts.

The design contest subject shall not released before the registrations end, ’cause the contest itself lasts only one weekend. Then, projects must be delivered 72 hours after the subject release.

Performing projects is something made by power and responsibility. The “game appareance” of the challenge is not a way to underestimate the force of projecting, rather a way to take back the funny and pleasant side of it. A game capable to offer a bunch of ideas to the audience, showing up how different (maybe better?) could be the places we living.
