new USA: eVolo
- 2010 SKYSCRAPER COMPETITION
Participants must register by January 12, 2010
eVolo to study, to develop, to evolve, to fly away
eVolo invites students and professional architects, engineers,
and designers to take part in the 2010 Skyscraper Competition.
The main idea of this contest is to examine the relationship
between the skyscraper and the natural world, the skyscraper
and the community and the skyscraper and urban living. In the
last few years we have seen hundreds of new skyscrapers been
developed around the world without careful consideration to the
context or environment. There is a constant lack of urban planning
and poor architectural design without intellectual or perceptual
enjoyment. The aim of the competition is to push our imagination
to redefine the term skyscraper through the use of new
materials, technology, aesthetics, programs, and spatial organizations.
Globalization, environmental warming, flexibility, adaptability,
and the digital revolution are just some of the multi-layered
elements that should be taken in consideration.

- The newly established RIBA Gulf
Chapter has launched a competition that seeks to restore or create
a meaningful spatial arrangement to encourage people to interact
in an area of a city where more contemporary town planning and
architecture have disrupted the way in which we use our streets.
The competition brief is to design a bazaar or souk and include
activities relevant to its urban role, such as shops, some accommodation
for short stay, workshops, public spaces, cafes, performance
spaces, places of gathering or worship/mosque and landscaping.
The site, to be chosen by the student, should be a minimum of
500m long and 100m wide within an existing urban context. It
could be an area in decline, in need of rejuvenation. Alternatively
the student might consider the removal of an existing group of
buildings, and their replacement with a new development that
restores lively street-space to the city or humanising a contemporary
urban district.
