Registration Deadline: Jan 10, 2021; Submission Deadline Jan 15, 2021 CREA TALENTS is an open&free; Architecture Ideas Competition, sponsored by The Economic Development & Culture Committee. The objective of the competition is to provide maximum freedom to the participants to engage the project without constraints in the most creative way. The project background: With beautiful scenery and many wineries, Huailai, one of the most ancient wine region in China, is attracting more and more tourists and wine lovers. Designers are tasked to design a wine centre which aims to promote wine tourisme by providing visitors with a lively journey around a world of wine and culture. It will be a must-see experience during the stay in Huailai, but also a place to go for residents of the region.Participants are invited to come up with visionary concepts for a Wine Culture Center . Designers are free to include all the functions all in one building, or designing separate structures.The ideas can be as fantastical or as grounded as you see fit. We are not looking to judge proposals on their feasibility, but on the extent to which they have the potential to be a landmark.
Registration: There are no registration fees . Participants must register through the competition’s online platform: www.creatalentscompetition.com Entries: Open to everyone in the world (architects, students, engineers etc.) Submissions can be made by individuals or teams. Submission requirements:

PREMISE The in-classroom learning in the past few decades have seen significant changes, but not like the one it saw a few months ago. Online learning and offline learning have different value propositions and levels of acceptance in our day to day life. But the year 2020, the scale of change has turned so huge that it brings the entire offline way of tuition under serious doubts. When entire academic institutions were resistant to change, the times have moved the most resistant teachers to deliver lectures online tells a lot about these times. And similar stigma which was held earlier, mainly of students learning everything 'digital' or 'technological' are now being appreciated and rewarded in many ways. What does this mean for our existing classrooms? CLASSROOMS OPENING BACK The design of existing classrooms (K12 Systems) is based on the antiquated means of book-based learning. They arrange pupils in rows and columns as a way to efficiently deliver a static way of learning courtesy to our past from the world over. Not everything about this structuring is bad, but the limited options to education are visible due to not embracing technology earlier phases of life. But instead of being a rift, the way online learning embraced every academic class - can the reverse happen to prepare students for this rampantly shifting? Can old school designs be upgraded more than a projector screen by giving more personal control to children on what and how to learn, using current and upcoming technologies to build more cohesive delivery models? BRIEF The problem statement looks at a classroom upgrade kit that includes new furniture design, classroom layout methods, the inclusion of taught and DIY learning, with equipment that will help deliver a more robust and fun way of learning than today. The budget is not a constraint, but the size of the classroom is. Will it involve expert installation? Or it can be set up manually by the class itself? What devices or teaching systems are possible in this kit? What age group are you designing this for? What safety precautions may arise with such changed new teaching apparatus? The solution finding looks at traditional schools and its classrooms at large all around the world as target sites. The user group looks at 30 students and 2 teachers in any (one or multiple) of the K12 classes. You can pick an average classroom size for the problem and choose a single class or multiple based on your design. Ensure you communicate these choice level details especially the minimum applicable area of your kit and maximum area on your sheets. Assumptions and choices similar to these will be crucial in evaluating the designs received. YEARBOOK Winners of this competition will get annually published with us in our e-yearbook and annual publications.

Student Ideas Competition: Environmental Health Equity The Pittsburgh Platform in collaboration with Chalmers University and Carnegie Mellon University launches an Ideas Competition for students within in the fields of architecture and urban planning to submit proposals on how to ensure environmental health equity. This call for ideas aims to push the envelope on how to establish environmental health equity and bring environmental health equity into the center of debate on city planning. We believe everyone has an equal right to live in a healthy environment and with this open call for ideas, we aim to bring together the best student teams to formulate new innovative spatial solutions to ensure environmental health equity.

Standing 1,515 feet (462 meters) tall, the GORPROJECT & RMJM-designed headquarters for natural gas giant Gazprom is the tallest building in Russia as well as in Europe and ranks number 14 worldwide. Besides its unusual design, the jury praised Lakhta Center also for its energy-efficient technologies: "As the northernmost supertall skyscraper in the world, the building is exposed to extreme temperatures. A double skin façade prevents unnecessary heat loss and makes it extraordinarily energy efficient. In addition, thanks to the innovative use of infrared radiators, excess heat is not lost but fed back into the system." Winning designers of the last two top titles in 2019 and 2018, Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, still managed to score two awards this year with innovative high-rises in Singapore and Bangkok. Other architects that had previously won top recognitions, BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group (in 2017 with VIA 57 West) and Zaha Hadid Architects (in 2015 with Wangjing SOHO), were among this year's honorees again. Take a look at the top ten award winners below. from https://bustler.net/news/7999/lakhta-center-the-world-s-northernmost-supertall-tower-wins-emporis-skyscraper-award from https://deanmarks5.blogspot.com/2020/11/news-lakhta-center-worlds-northernmost.html

A youthful appearance to the Exclusion Zone
PREMISE After its inception in 1972 and commission in 1977 - On April 26, 1986, a sudden surge of power during a reactor systems test destroyed Unit 4 of the nuclear power station at Chernobyl (near Pripyat), Ukraine, in the former Soviet Union. The accident and the fire that followed released massive amounts of radioactive material into the environment. ISSUE The Chernobyl accident's severe radiation effects killed 28 of the site's 600 workers in the first four months after the event. Another 106 workers received high enough doses to cause acute radiation sickness. Two workers died within hours of the reactor explosion from non-radiological causes. Another 200,000 cleanup workers in 1986 and 1987 received doses of between 1 and 100 rem (The average annual radiation dose for a U.S. citizen is about .6 rem). Chernobyl cleanup activities eventually required about 600,000 workers, although only a small fraction of these workers were exposed to elevated levels of radiation. Government agencies continue to monitor cleanup and recovery workers' health. Since then, the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has been one of the scariest spots on earth - with ghost residences, settlements and instalments all around - but the question is, till when will it last and is there a way architecture could make this radioactive region safe again? OBJECTIVE The challenge is to design a rejuvenation center which resurrects a youthful appearance to the Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Nuclear Power Plant instalment in Chernobyl (currently within Ukraine). SITE SIZE The size of your solution could be anywhere from the size of a standard table (1 sq. m) to the area of the whole instalment Competition Page: go.seekfanatic.com/chernobyl Brief Download: go.seekfanatic.com/chernobylpdf Competition FAQ: go.seekfanatic.com/chernobylfaq Read the full post on Bustlerfrom https://bustler.net/competitions/7719/rejuvenate-chernobyl-a-youthful-appearance-to-the-exclusion-zone-architecture-competition from https://deanmarks5.blogspot.com/2020/11/competitions-rejuvenate-chernobyl.html |
