–
This competition asks you to illustrate how the life of your building will unfold through time – over an hour, day, year, decade, or perhaps a century. Your submission should demonstrate the integration of time in your design proposal by highlighting how it will accommodate the different types of change described in the competition brief. We seek innovative design proposals that challenge existing orthodoxies about adaptability in the built environment. The awards comprise of cash prizes (1st prize UK £1,500, 2nd Prize £1000, 3rd prize £500); publication of the top entries in the upcoming Adaptable Futures book and an opportunity to present at our autumn conference in London. Outstanding submissions will also be published here on the Adaptable Futures website.
Jury: Charles Holland (Director, FAT architecture), Daisy Froud (Director, AOC), Megumi Matsubara (co-Founder, Assistant), David Rowley (Director, Nightingale Associates), Søren Nielsen (Director, Vandkunsten), Paul Warner (Director, 3D Reid Architects)
Lyric, field recording, reading by Megumi Matsubara was dedicated to the track 11 made by Finnish composer Ilpo Jauhiainen as part of his first album Shimmer & Bloom released in November 2011.
