TECTONICS: Making Meaning - architectural competition
General Information
The international student design competition will be held in association with the international conference TECTONICS: Making Meaning. The conference will take place at the Department of Architecture, Building and Planning at Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands. Crucial to the success of the event is the engagement of both professionals and students. The goal is to celebrate the international and multidisciplinary character of the making of buildings.
In this design competition students from different disciplines are asked to give their view on tectonics by creating a design, and justifying their design in the spirit of TECTONICS: Making Meaning. The assignment tries to involve different design and engineering disciplines.
The purpose of the design competition is to encourage debate about tectonics. Students that enter the design competition will be judged by a jury consisting of influential professionals conversant with tectonics. The three best entrants will be awarded with a monetary prize, travelling allowance and accommodation for the conference, publication and exposure.
