Our aim is to select six design teams to develop innovative housing designs which respond to the challenges of environmental sustainability, adaptability, new ways of living and designing beautiful buildings.

Detail Prize 2009
Outstanding architecture not only meets high aesthetic criteria, but also fulfils its function – right down to the last detail. Only when aesthetics and technology combine to form a whole is exceptional architecture created. DETAIL's aim and raison d'être is to present these solutions to a wider audience.
Following the large International response to the 2005 and 2007 DETAIL Prize competitions and the success of the symposium at the BAU trade fair, DETAIL, in collaboration with the Bavarian Chamber of Architects and the Association of German Architects - Bavaria (BDA Bayern e.V.), will once again award the DETAIL Prize in 2009. Prizes are awarded to buildings that feature especially well-designed, groundbreaking and technically-innovative details within an outstanding overall design.
By choosing new categories, a greater emphasis will be placed on cross-sectoral connections and interdisciplinary networking. For the first time the DETAIL Prize will be expanded to include an industrial prize and an honorary prize.
The DETAIL Prize is awarded to innovative details incorporated into outstanding overall designs. The products should not only resolve technical problems but also, and more importantly, form a significant detail and play a decisive role in the overall design.
The DETAIL Industry Prize is aimed at manufacturers and developers of innovative building products and technical solutions, as well as at architects and engineers who have made use of these products. Entrants should show how their innovative products, integrated into the overall concept of a reference building, play a distinctive role and contribute to the success of the overall design.
Only projects built to completion and finished after 1st January 2004 may be submitted for the main prize and the special prizes. The exception is the special prize for students, which recognises student projects from 1 January 2004 onwards.
The competition is open to architects, structural engineers, interior designers and landscape architects around the world who are authorised to use these professional designations. The special award for students is open to graduates and students of the corresponding fields.

To encourage social change through design-based dialog.
Questions:
How are prisons used by societies?
What is their affect on those societies, their caretakers, and their occupants?
Challenge:
Design a philosophy on what imprisonment is or should be, and create an architectural design to express that philosophy.

THE ULI EUROPEAN STUDENT URBAN DESIGN COMPETITION
The second annual ULI European Student Urban Design Competition is a graduate-level competition that is intended to provide an interdisciplinary learning experience for real estate and design students in Europe. Self-formed student teams are asked to provide an urban design and a financial feasibility strategy for a large-scale real life site that ULI has identified somewhere in Europe. Through the formation of multidisciplinary teams, the program encourages cooperation and teamwork among future real estate professionals and the many allied professions, such as architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, historic preservation, engineering, real estate development, finance, psychology, law, and others.
Applications must be submitted by Monday, 17 December 2007. All teams will be notified by E-mail no later than the week of 14 January 2008, as to their eligibility to participate.
This year’s site, to be announced on Monday, 4 February 2008, will be a large-scale urban regeneration site, chosen because it presents complex challenges, needing practicable, innovative solutions that reflect responsible land use. The solutions incorporate design, planning, market potential and feasibility, and development strategies. The submission to the competition will be presentation drawings, tables, schedules, and text.
Student teams are invited to be formed at all European universities (including Turkey and Russia). Teams must consist of five members, with each student responsible for a “function” from the following disciplines: architect, landscape architect, urban planner or geographer, and financial expert. The team can determine which functions are assigned; however, at least one team member must serve as the financial expert and must be enrolled in a business or real estate degree program.

Endless trips. Endless strips.
Sudapán is a project by Supersudaca that pretends to bring the territorial key subjects of Latin America and the Caribbean into the global contemporary agenda.
Endless(s)trips is a highly speculative international competition. It promotes the creation of scenarios for new urban models in massive tourism areas.
Endless(s)trips is a space to rethink the relations between the local means, the tourists, the environment, the touristic operators, the State, the infrastructure, the landscape. It is an opportunity to imagine other cities, other territories and other ways of conceiving the way tourism operates in the Caribbean.
The Mayan Riviera is the world’s fastest population growing zone. Estimations for the next decade, (when hotel capacity will have reached 90 000 rooms) consider that the total population along its 140 km long coastline will be superior to 1.5 milion inhabitants.
The Mexican Mayan Riviera is by its size, dynamism and complexity, an intense and urgent case of great potential; an urban laboratory on the Caribbean coast.

Concursos de ideas 429 viviendas protegidas + proyecto de investigación en La Florida. El Puerto de Santa María. Cádiz
A partir de los cambios que se están produciendo en los ámbitos sociales, urbanos, tecnológicos y medioambientales, existe una necesidad de estudiar e innovar en nuevas tipologías de viviendas protegidas.
Uno de los hitos fundamentales que marcan la temporalidad en las normas que afectan en materia de vivienda, es la entrada en vigor del código técnico de la edificación, que se ha producido este año 2007, el cual está basado en la creación de nuevas prestaciones y supone una apertura a la innovación sin dificultar el progreso tecnológico.
Por ello la Consejería de Obras Públicas y Transportes a través de la Empresa Pública de Suelo de Andalucía promueve este concurso de ideas 429 viviendas protegidas + proyecto de investigación en La Florida, El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, planteando una reflexión e investigación de nuevas propuestas de viviendas que puedan ser origen de un futuro desarrollo de normativas y tipologías de vpo.

2G Competition. Venice Lagoon Park
On the occasion of the celebration of the magazine’s tenth anniversary, 2G launches an international ideas competition: 2G Competition. Venice Lagoon Park. This theoretical initiative, which does not involve subsequent phases of the project or its execution, is an inducement to free, non-restrictive reflection, the objective being to embark on a worthwhile debate within the profession.
The competition is intended as a reflection on the contemporary metropolis that, growing out of the design of the landscape, pays attention to the tension between global interests and local needs. The site chosen for the unfolding of the competition is the Venice Lagoon, the specific theme being the creation of the Venice Lagoon Park.
The park project will be devoted to reclaiming the urban idea of the lagoon as a complex network of communications and settlements, through a hypothetical re-colonisation of the territory of the lagoon, the decentralisation and atomisation of a programme of uses, and the reclaiming of the idea of the lagoon as an urban constellation necessarily integrated in its natural environment. The programme for planning this rehabilitation will consist of an Urban Park and Lagoon Prototypes.
The competition opens on 1 April 2007 to students and professionals under 40 in the fields of architecture, landscape design, urbanism and related disciplines as long as a student of architecture or an architect belongs to their team.

Concurso: Self Sufficient Housing - até 17-09-2007
2nd Advanced Architecture Contest
THE SELF-FAB HOUSE
The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia directed by Vicente Guallart - www.iaac.net - is issuing an international summons to architects, designers and students from around the world, inviting proposals for the construction of self-sufficient dwellings with an emphasis on exploring people’s capacity to self-construct their own homes.
The 2nd Advanced Architecture Contest directed by Lucas Cappelli encourage in this edition of the Self-sufficient housing competition, the design of a “SELF-FAB HOUSE” using industrial or traditional craft-based techniques generated on the basis of the knowledge of the information age, such as digital processes, software-driven manufacturing, skills and know-how in the use of new or established materials, the strategic recycling of other chains of production or familiarity with the historical processes of the construction of habitats in natural environments, revised in the light of new standards of sustainability.

Português em 2º lugar em concurso na Holanda
O arquitecto português Francisco Adão da Fonseca conquistou esta semana o segundo lugar no Archiprix, um dos mais importantes concursos de arquitectura da Holanda.
Francisco Adão da Fonseca, 28 anos, mestrando na Universidade Técnica de Delft, alcançou o segundo lugar entre 500 participantes com um projecto de intervenção na Zona Oeste de Amesterdão.
Intitulado «Osdorp Rings», trata-se de um edifício multifuncional direccionado para centro de luta desportiva da comunidade turca de Amesterdão.
Segundo o autor, «Osdorp Rings é um edifício erguido em terra armada e vigas pré-esforçadas em bambu que desafia a construção moderna, propondo paredes arborizadas feitas em terra e cabos de aço».
«Tem paredes sólidas que lembram encostas verdes de montanhas, é um edifício que propõe soluções para a standardização do bambu, utiliza o bambu dum modo verdadeiramente inovador», explicou Francisco Adão da Fonseca à Lusa.
«Sendo a Holanda o país com maior projecção mundial a nível de arquitectura, o prémio Archiprix torna-se duplamente prestigiante», sustenta Adão da Fonseca.
O Archiprix destina-se a destacar os novos talentos do país, podendo a ele candidatar-se todos os estudantes finalistas das faculdades e academias holandesas.
Segundo o jovem arquitecto português, que se mudou para a Holanda há sete anos, existem muitos outros estudantes portugueses de Arquitectura a despontar na Holanda.
«Se há alguma coisa que os distingue dos outros arquitectos é a grande capacidade de trabalho e uma gosto único pelo improviso», justifica Adão da Fonseca.
O prémio Archiprix é atribuído anualmente desde 1979 aos melhores projectos de formatura dentro das áreas de arquitectura, urbanismo, desenvolvimento imobiliário e arquitectura paisagista.
Uma exposição itinerante com os projectos finalistas viajará agora por toda a Europa durante um ano.
