Competition
Brief
This architecture competition follows the successful
electronic competition of unbuilt work celebrated at the Bienal Miami + Beach
2001 (click
here to see the 2001 finalists).
The goal of this competition
is to promote and reveal the potency of "new conceptual and experimental
work" in architecture today. The objective is to award extraordinary unbuilt
projects and architectural ideas. Design works that provoke new cultural visions,
new professional practices, and new understandings of urbanity of the contemporary
world. The
competition is open to all architects, designers and students of architecture
regardless of citizenship. The only requirement is that the project has not been
constructed by the deadline of the competition. The
organizing committee of the Bienal + Miami 2005 calls for this contest to be an
open competition about the possible futures of architecture. The word "architecture"
or "architectural" in this competition it is an open word. The committee's
belief is that we live in an age in which we are forced to redefine our traditional
notion of design and architecture. The committee's conviction is that a major
part of the future of architecture lies in a discourse that can be found mostly
in "un-built and experimental" work from around the world. The objective
of the competition is to reveal this discourse. In order to review and promote
these projects worldwide all work must be submitted via the Internet. This
prize is designed to award single projects. The jury will evaluate each project
individually. There is no limit on the number of projects that can be entered
but each project has to be registered individually.
The competition is organized as part of the Bienal Miami + Beach 2005 which
is sponsored by The School of Architecture at Florida International University,
AIA Miami Chapter, Miami, and the Federacion Panamericana de Arquitectos.
This electronic competition is and has been supported by several architecture
magazines, publications and events:
- ARCH'IT
rivista digitale di architettura, Italy
- Competitions
Magazine, USA
- Concept
Magazine, Korea
- TodoObras, National Periodical on Architecture,
