Learning alternative designs for universities Design Competition

Learning alternative designs for universities Contest, from Non Architecture Competitions

introduction

We can consider “architecture” everything that has already been designed and/or built. that would define a realm of conventional solutions, often repeated in a self-referential system. We imagined a counterpart, a “non architecture”.

A world of unexplored designs and countless possibilities, that if found, could enlarge and change permanently the boundaries of architecture. a universe of chances and opportunities never challenged by architects before. a limitless field of investigation that includes everything that is not architecture, yet.

Learning alternative designs for universities Design Competition

non architecture Competitions aims to find unconventional and unexplored design solutions in the field of architecture. it consists in a series of nine competitions. all competitions have their focus on finding innovative approaches to specific issues of functionality in architecture, seeking non- traditional approaches in architect’s work.

learning- alternative designs for schools is the eighth non architecture Competition.

competition brief

the aim of the “learning” competition is to develop design proposals for the university, intended as a space of higher education, training and teaching on all levels and disciplines.
the participants are asked to create innovative and unconventional projects on this theme, questioning the very basis of the notion of university. recently a series of new initiatives have emerged in relation to learning experience.

the digitalization of education empowered processes of serious gaming as a learning tool, through app and interface, while video tutorials introduced a brand new dimension of bottom-up knowledge sharing movements. organizations like Coursera, ted and edx managed to grasp the qualities of remote learning and translated them into professional educational tools, providing online courses and lectures for anyone around the world. along the same line, many universities started providing entire programs online, reducing costs and giving large flexibility to their students. on the other hand, many institutions still rely and invest in direct human interaction as main vehicle for education. innovation operates by empowering not only the teacherstudent relationship, but also the potential for collaboration and mutual motivation between learners, trans-disciplinarity and inter-disciplinarity in the outside world.

Within this context, with critical thinking and a creative attitude, participants are urged to investigate what kind of spatial qualities can support or empower the process of learning in the future. designers are asked to merge considerable programmatic innovation and valuable design tools. the proposal could be a device, piece of furniture, interior design project, pavilion, building, urban plan or something other. scale of intervention, program dimensions and location are not given and they can be chosen by the participants to better suit their project.

some basic topics of investigation to approach the competition theme can already be deduced from the definition of the word “university”:

university noun [C] a high-level educational institution in which students study for degrees and academic research is done.

as follows, essential aspects of universities today can be questioned:

– does the institution have to be represented by a building with lecture theatres? Couldn’t it be a device, capable of incorporating the entire infrastructure needed to educate learners? alternatively, couldn’t it be a network in the city, an interconnected system of facilities that can accommodate flexible learning environment? or can it be just a flexible room, adaptable to the diverse needs and conditions? Couldn’t it have a different or critical role in the making of a city?

– does education have to occur within the traditional defined roles of teacher and student? should only highlevel education be provided, or can it be explored as a communal activity and knowledge sharing dynamic, built on a community of learners rather than a class? What kind of spatial aspects can enhance those processes?

– Within the learning space, does a university imply interaction or separation from fellow students? how is social-interaction relevant when it comes to learning activities and how can design empower that? or is isolation a value to pursue? What kind of design could favour it?

– are degrees and standard educational programs still part of the future of university, or will instead transdisciplinarity and life-long-learning offer new models? What kind of space can respond to those conditions?

– in a society heading towards digitalization and bigdata, how will education and research change, and what kind of space will be the most suitable to support them? Will technology be the dominant feature, or will instead separation from technology become a benefit?

– Will traditional disciplines still be the backbone of professional education, or will students experience a much more diverse and personal journey towards their education? how will universities change accordingly?

these are the questions to suggest to the participants as possible fields of investigation. each project can tackle one or more of the issues suggested, as well as raising new ones in relation to the competition topic. Just try to be as creative and unconventional as possible.

this competition has been developed in collaboration with the international research program intrepid Knowledge, which is currently conducting a trans-disciplinary research on the future of universities. if you want to receive more useful insights on the theme of the competition subscribe to our newsletter. You will get updates on intrepid’s research,

project requirements

no scale and no location.

in asking for an unconventional approach, we are also providing one. the rules of the competition and its organization will not limit, but rather allow for the freedom to approach each topic as the participant sees fit.

therefore there is no given site, scale of intervention or exact program dimensioning. projects can be developed in abstract locations as well as specific places, and they can go from the scale of interior design to urban strategies. Just remember that every proposal should be focused on a very specific condition, showing one simple concept, clearly communicated and fully developed.

presentation requirements

non architecture is also unconventional in its submission requirements, not asking for posters or booklets. the participants are in fact asked to submit one zip folder, named with the code and the title of the project
(Code_title), containing:

– a presentation image (Jpeg), showing the qualities of your design, in one catchy and representative impression. this file must be named as follows:
“Code_title of the project_presentation” (check some examples here).

– a technical image (Jpeg), showing in a 2d drawing a specific technical/organizational aspect of the project. this file must be named as follows: “Code_title of the project_technical” (check some examples here).

– a functional image (Jpeg), showing a specific functional peculiar aspect of the project. this file must be named in the same manner as the other two images, as followed: “Code_title of the project_functional” (check some examples here).

– a Word document that clearly states the title and subtitle (maximum of 10 words), followed by a short description (maximum of 200 words). the text must be written in english. this file must be named as follows: “Code_title of the project_text”.

– a Word document with the team’s info in the following format: name + Surname of each team member (separated clearly), nationality (multiple options can be added), institution (company or university attended, to be included just in case you want it to be visible once your project is published). this file must be named: “Code_title of the project_team”.

every submission has to be anonymous, so do not include your name, your submission code, or any other reference to you in the texts or in the images. after being evaluated, the projects will be reconnected to their authors through the identification code. additional details on the team members and on the projects will be required during the submission procedure.
all the images must be A4, 300 dpi, portrait (vertical).

there is no need to completely fill the layout with images or add a frame, additionally try to avoid using texts in the images. try to convey in each file one specific idea in one simple image. avoid to overcrowd it with too much material. iMages are not Meant to Be posters. each one image shows one single content, so for everY iMage You Can inClude Just one single visualization (ex. one drawing or one rendering). Check our pinterest reference boards for examples.

the images do not demand for any kind of specific technique of representation, as long as they respect the guidelines given. they can be technical drawings, diagrams, collages, pictures, renders, models, paintings, hand drawings, etc. Be creative!

We highly recommend you do not add texts to the images, and leave the Word document for further explanations. the projects should be explanatory enough through the graphic material. any text written in a different language will not be taken into account and may lead to a team’s disqualification. in the same way every submission which doesn’t respect the guidelines given might be disqualified.

Thinking – Alternative Designs for Offices Design Competition

Thinking – Alternative Designs for Offices Contest, from Non Architecture Competitions

We can consider “architecture” everything that has already been designed and/or built. that would define a realm of conventional solutions, often repeated in a self-referential system.

Thinking - Alternative Designs for Offices Design Competition

We imagined a counterpart, a “non architecture”. a world of unexplored designs and countless possibilities, that if found, could enlarge and change permanently the boundaries of architecture. a universe of chances and opportunities never challenged by architects before. a limitless field of investigation that includes everything that is not architecture, yet.

Thinking - Alternative Designs for Offices Design Competition

Thinking - Alternative Designs for Offices Design Competition

thinking – alternative designs for offices, is the seventh non architecture Competition.

The aim of the “thinking” competition is to develop a design proposals for the office typology, intended as a space to process, organize and generate information. in other words, a place for mental work.

The participants are asked to create innovative and unconventional projects on this theme, questioning the very basis of the notion of office.

Thinking - Alternative Designs for Offices Design Competition

Recently a series of new initiatives have emerged in relation to office innovation. While companies like google revolutionized the way office work and workplaces are conceived, remote work and freelancing are increasing chances for freedom and flexibility, turning living rooms and coffee places into modern offices. in the meantime, digitization and automation not only changed the way work is done, but also the way work is retributed. if working conditions today tend to get better in traditional offices, there is an uprising new class of digital “slaves” under heavy exploitation.

Within this context, with critical thinking and creative attitude, the participants are urged to create an artefact, merging considerable programmatic innovation and valuable design tools. the proposal can be a device, a piece of furniture, an interior design project, a pavilion, a building or a urban plan. scale of intervention, program dimensions and location are not given and they can be arranged by the participants to better suit their project.

Some basic topics of investigation to approach the competition theme can already be deduced from the definition of the word “office”:
office noun [C] A room, set of rooms, or building used as a place for commercial, professional, or bureaucratic work

Why does the office has to be a room, a set of rooms, or a building? Can’t it be a device, capable to incorporate the entire infrastructure needed to develop work? alternatively, can’t it be a network in the city, an interconnected system of facilities that can accommodate flexible working environment? – Being a room, does the office imply interaction or separation from co-workers?

How is social-interaction relevant when it comes to intellectual activity and how can design empower that? or is it instead isolation a value to pursue? What kind of design can favour it? – What kind of work can be developed in an office and how can an office adapt to accommodate multiple functions? What is, for example, the best environment for a creative work? and what is instead the most suitable context for very mechanical and repetitive intellectual operations? How can a space help making them more bearable? – in a society heading towards automation, how will work change, and what kind of space will be the most suitable to support the work of the future? Will technology be the dominant feature, or will instead separation from technology become a benefit?

These are the questions to suggest to the partecipants as possible fields of investigation. each project can tackle one or more of the issues suggested, as well as raising new ones in relation to the competition topic. Just try to be as creative and unconventional as possible.

INTRODUCTION

Dancing – alternative designs for clubs, is the sixth Non Architecture Competition.

Dancing Clubs Design Competition

COMPETITION BRIEF

The aim of the “dancing” competition is to develop a design proposals for the night club typology, intended as a place to experience entartainment in relation to music: listen, perform, dance.
The participants is asked to create innovative and unconventional projects on this theme, questioning the very basis of the notion of a club.

Recently a series of new initiatives have emerged in relation to music entartainment and dance. While festivals and morning discos have extended the duration of musical events over the limited span of one night, silent discos and flash mobs exceeded the boundaries of the club, reinventing the way and the place where music events were occurring. In the mean time, music and dance have been used also for therapies and training, as means of self improvement and realization.Technological advances and streaming services made music much more accessible, increasing consumption and drastically facilitating production and distribution.

Some basic topics of investigation to approach the competition theme can already be deduced from the definition of the word “nightclub”:
club noun [C] An entertainment venue that is open from the evening until early morning, having facilities such as a bar and disco or other entertainment.

Eating - Alternative Designs for Restaurants Design Competition

e-architect offer a discount on this competition

COMPETITION BRIEF

The aim of the “Eating” competition is to develop a design proposal for the restaurant typology, intended as a place of preparation and consumption of food. It is asked to the participants to create innovative and unconventional projects on this theme, questioning the very basis of the notion of restaurant.

While numerous top chefs have been reinventing the way food is prepared, fast food companies have revolutionized the way food is consumed and sold. In addition, food trucks and delivery services have been gaining more popularity every day, establishing a new intermediary step between the restaurant and the client.

Some basic useful topics of investigation to approach the competition theme can already be deduced from the definition of “restaurant”:

restaurant noun [C] An establishment where meals are served to customers.

As follows, very essential aspects of the conventional museum can be questioned. – Can a restaurant be something different than a traditional Establishmet? Can it be based on an untraditional business model? And, can it be located in something else than a building?

Can it be a network in the city rather than one single construction? Or can it be reduced to a smaller space, like a single room or just one object? – What do we consider a meal? And, what kind of meals selection should be operated? Should a restaurant base their dishes on clients desires? What kind of design would be required for a restaurant with an almost infinite choice of dishes? And what if a restaurant would sell only one kind of meal? how could design innovatively respond to such an approach? Or, what if the meal selection would be operated by the restaurant for the client, and not vice-versa? Could a restaurant know in advance what’s better for its customers? – Do meals necessarily have to be served in a restaurant? Can service be avoided and/or automatized? Or can there be an intermediate step between take away and traditional restaurants, where consumption ? In addition, could customers participate in the preparation of their food? Or could they instead be provided with an even better service, where consumption becomes the only phase in which they are involved, cutting waiting time and travelling? –

How can a restaurant become a place where food preparation is reinvented? How can food be prepared in a new way? And what kind of food, should be prepared and served? Can we reconsider what we normally serve as food, in order to improve the performance of a restaurant?

What kind of food preparation process should be adopted to reduce waste, and how can waste be reused as a resource within the restaurant? – These are the questions to suggest to the partecipants as possible fields of investigation. Each project can tackle one or more of the issues suggested, as well as raising new ones in relation to the competition topic. Just try to be as creative and unconventional as possible.

Making – Alternative design for factories Competition Winners

THE 15 MOST REVOLUTIONARY DESIGNS OF FACTORIES

The winners of the second Non Architecture competition (www.nonarchitecture.eu) “Making – Alternative design for factories” have been unveiled, showing some absolutely innovative concepts for factories designs.

This was the second of a series of nine competitions, oriented at pushing architects and designers to rethink traditional architectural typologies. In this case factories – intended as building or a group of buildings where goods are manufactured – have been reinterpreted by participants from all around the world. The challenge was to develop an unconventional design for a building to make, with absolute freedom of location, scale and program dimensioning.

The Jury, composed of Alex Hogrefe (founder of Visualazing Architecture and partner at Design Distill); Aldo Sollazzo (founding partner at noumena and researcher at Iaac, Barcelona and Laurent Rosset (creator of Lorystripes and architect at Cebra) selected 3 winners and 12 honourable mentions from more than 100 subscribers.

The winning projects showed a variety of approaches, from extremely visionaries solutions, to more practical and business oriented strategies, going from a flying factory to machine that count the passing of time, from mobile factories that work with a simple click on an app to critique industrial presences.

– Winner: “Amazonia Pier” / Julien Nolin

Amazonia Pier design for a factory

Amazonia Pier is a phantasmagorical critique of the industrial presence of Free Trade
Zones, the result of globalization, where large foreign industries take advantage of
cheap taxes and even cheaper labor costs to produce their goods, by placing their
factories in less wealthy countries and cities.

– Winner: “The Cradles” / Aldrich Choy, Allan Chong, Chad Seah, Frances Lai

The Cradles design for a factory

An annual event where you will also be able to catch these unmanned drone factories in

Flying Factory design for a factory

The factory is lifted by drones, big and small, powered by solar system, with great
mobility and zero land coverage. Products are assembled by working robots and
delivered by smart drones, through online orders.

Making – Alternative design for factories Competition Honorable Mentions

– Honorable mention: “Machinapolis” / Niko (Seong) Hur

The project pictures a world where products are no long mass produced. Rather, it
celebrates the emergence of small and rapid prototyping that augments innovation and
creativity.

– Honorable mention: “Cowhouse” / Tamara Jamil

Cowhouse was borne from the idea that architecture can act as a site for physical
production and as a vehicle to manufacture change. Following lines of production and
reinserted into city landscape, patrons are invited to examine the life of cattle.

– Honorable mention: “Factory of the absurd” / Thaylini Cristine Luz BelinoBonfin, Miguel João Dias da Costa Pereira

The facture of the absurd is a machine that measure the passing of a time. The power
source is produced by a human operator, and so, he is the one in the wheel dictating
the productivity. If the man is tired, time slows down, if the man is in a hurry, so is the
time.

– Honorable mention: “The Mobile Factory” / Mark Andrew Lee

Gone are the days of working tirelessly. Now if you wish to be a factory worker you
simply sign up for it on the Mobile Factory App and it will brief you on the safety
procedures and instructions.

– Honorable mention: “Drift” /Chi-Kuan Im, On-U Leong

Every module of DRIFT consists of two parts – Production and Delivery sections. Robot
arms on each side of Production section provide corresponding services for procedures.

– Honorable mention: “A Factory Toward Fulfilment” / Naomi Rubbra, Leopold Taylor, Felix Yates

A world in which consumerism becomes redundant. Where the factory doesn’t
contribute to the problem, but becomes the solution. A Factory Toward Fulfilment takes
stock from those brave enough to break away from the conventions of the status quo.

– Honorable mention: “Urban Factory” / Sasa Ciabatti, Bilyana Asenova

The future factory transforms from a receiver of instructions to an open environment for
cooperation between suppliers and customers. Suppliers and customers find
themselves in a close collaboration at an early stage in the development of a new
product.

– Honorable mention: “PONOS” / Frixos Petrou, Sofia Nikolaidou, Emeline Dussaucy, Matteo Novarino

PonosTM promotes itself as #thefutureofwork – an obscure facility for providing any and
all kinds of services, from logistics to automobile prototyping.

– Honorable mention: “An Anarchistic Factory” / Rik Lambers

An Anarchistic Factory is an alternative for plain social housing which formalizes the
low-skilled, in-formal, in-efficient jobs that squatters are doing now; recycling waste. It
proposes to bypass a river and build a simple structure that takes in polluted riverwater

– Honorable mention: “RandomAccessMemory” / Cristina Cărcănescu, John Chia

Random Access Memory has a mnemonic agenda, aiming to marry traditional crafting
with digital manufacturing. The idea of crafting techniques becoming extinct leads to
over-romanticised solutions of prevention.

– Honorable mention: “Walk for Progress” / Wong Suen Yi, Chou Chia Yi

We propose a mobile device, “Waking-Print”, as our flyer factory.The low-tech working
device is designed to be too heavy to be pushed by one person, therefore it needs a lot
of people at the same time to operate it.

– Honorable mention: “Of Dead and Bread” / Rachid Jalloul

This crematorium bakery is set in a natural space. It is a public open space that allows
reflection and rejuvenation.

Background:

of October the and it investigates potential alternative designs for places where
to exercise the body and mind.

partner at noumena and researcher at Iaac, Barcelona and Laurent Rosset,
