Schindler Award for Architecture: "Access for All"

A Conceptual Competition for European Schools of Architecture
Under the sponsorship of Schindler, the Elevator and Escalator Company

A world accessible to people with differing capabilities:
Architecture and city planning for healthy and disabled individuals alike -
a contribution to the European Year of People with Disabilities.

This conceptual competition is open to all students in their two last years of study at a European university or college of architecture. They may apply directly on this website, as individuals or as project teams made up of not more than three students, by filling out the online application. A confirmation will be returned to them or to their class representative, assistant teacher or professor within seven days. Each entering student receives an official entry number as confirmation of having been accepted to the competition. This entry number must hence be mentioned in all further communication with the competition management.

If more than 12 students of the same school apply for the Schindler Competition, that school qualifies for the school competition under the following stipulations:
· Constant support be given to the participants by their teachers during the design process.
· The school offer at least two specific lectures on the issue of “accessibility”.
· The school pre-select the students projects according to Article 4.

Pre-selection by the schools

European architectural schools with more than twelve participants may conduct their own pre-selection process. Such schools will subsequently organize an internal competition among each group of twelve students to select the one project which will be submitted to the European competition finals. Example: A final-year course of 30 students may submit three projects for the finals (12 + 12 + 6 = 3 entries).

The competition management must be advised that these projects have already been pre-selected. Along with the pre-selected projects, the school must send a name list of all students from whom the winning entry was selected, as well as a brief descriptive (text, 1 drawing typical for the project) of each students project. The school has to integrate the subject matter of the competition in two lectures and must send a list of the titles of these lectures.

The pre-selected entries will thus bypass the formal pre-selection process by the competition jury and be directly accepted for the finals.

Light of Tomorrow - The International VELUX Award 2006

Students of architecture from all over the world are invited to participate in the second International VELUX Award for Students of Architecture. The award encourages students and their tutors to explore daylight in architecture.

On 1 October the second International VELUX Award for Students of Architecture opens for registrations. Students from all over the world are invited to participate and VELUX encourages them to explore daylight in architecture under the overall theme of "Light of Tomorrow".

"Our vision is to promote daylight. We want to encourage discussion on daylight and inspire students to work with daylight, not just as a design component or external factor but as an essential and inherent issue. We thereby hope to once again be able to present a pool of talents and creative ideas as inspiration for the architecture of tomorrow, thus also providing input for the context and relevancy of our products.

Furthermore, we hope that the award can give students from all parts of the world the opportunity of having their ideas evaluated and discussed by some of the world’s most respected architects," says Project manager Lone Feifer from VELUX, the international manufacturer of roof windows and skylight systems.

There are no pre-defined categories in the award, and neither is the award restricted to the usage of VELUX products. In stead the overall theme of Light of Tomorrow is open to a wide range of interpretations, exploring the boundaries of daylight in architecture as regards for instance aesthetics, functionality and sustainability.

The total prize money is 30,000 Euros, which will be given to a number of prize winners and honourable mentions among the students and the associated tutors. The jury decides the number of winners and honourable mentions, who will also receive airfare and hotel when going to the award ceremony.
