HYP CUP 2013 INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COMPETITION IN ARCHITECTURAL
DESIGN
The School of Architecture of Tianjin University and the Chinese press group, Urban Environment Design (UED), announce the second edition of the international competition on urban transformation, open to students of architecture worldwide. The International Union of Architects supports this initiative.
OBJECTIVES and PROGRAMME
Participants are invited to contribute their response to the radical statement “Architecture must disappear”, a reflection that imagines solutions in face of new Situations. One of the commitments of an architect is to overwhelm the observable escalation in the production of contemporary architecture by introducing new situations, dialectic situations and experiences, between inside and outside, free and available spaces in-between what is public and what is private. Competitors can choose the site for their proposal, of a maximum built surface area of 4 000 m2.
DOMINIQUE PERRAULT JURY CHAIR
The Jury is placed under the chairmanship of French architect Dominique Perrault. Chinese architect Cui Kai, former UIA Council member, is executive chair.
