Открыт прием заявок на международный студенческий архитектурный конкурс TALL BUILDING COMPETITION. Цель для участников - представить в новом свете высотные здания, предложить оригинальные проекты в которых данный тип строений качественно влияет на городскую среду. Студенты-конкурсанты сами выбирают размеры, высоту и функциональный спектр для своего строения. Место под застройку должно быть реальным. Необходимо, чтобы строение было спроектировано с учетом окружающей застройки. К участию в конкурсе принимаются работы, выполненные в течении 2011-2012 академического года. Приз за первое место - $5,0 00, за второе - $3,000, третье - $1,000. Участие в конкурсе бесплатное.
Overview The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) is pleased to announce its 2nd Annual International Student Tall Building Design Competition to be held in conjunction with the CTBUH 9th World Congress Shanghai 2012.
The goal of the competition is to shed new light on the meaning and value of tall buildings in modern society. As noted by the 2011 Competition Jury Chair, William Pedersen of Kohn Pedersen Fox, “There has been a major transition in the sense of the value of the tall building and what it can contribute to the urban realm, and society in general. This transition moves the tall building away from just an instrument of financial exploitation and toward a development highly concerned with its impact on the city, the environment, and the urban habitat.”
In light of global climate change, public awareness of urban sustainability has forced designers to rethink and reinvent the role of the high-rise building type. They must contribute to the protection of endangered environments and offer sustainable alternatives to how cities operate, as they meet the growing demands of urban dwelling and reshaping the landscape of modern cities. It is increasingly important that tall buildings connect with the urban fabric, integrating with the existing city/street life, and reflect the nature of the city in which they are built.
Participants are free to site their projects anywhere in the world. This is not to undervalue the importance of site, and thus participants should carefully consider their site (which must be a “real” site, in a real location) as the site context should inherently have significant influence over the project’s design. Participants are also free to determine the size, height, function, accommodation and responsibilities of the building. The intention is these freedoms on site and program will maximize the diversity and creativity of the responses. It is also intended to allow students from specific high-rise educational studies around the world during the 2011–12 academic year to submit their projects for consideration. Some of the multi-layered elements that participants should take into consideration may include (in no particular hierarchy): local climate; urban grain; neighboring buildings; city requirements; community requirements; social responsibility; sustainability; efficiency of materials, space, and usage; aesthetics; proportions; local social and cultural conditions; materiality; new technologies; structure; innovative program/functionality; adaptability; etc.
