The Graphisoft International Design Competition 2000 |
|
| Since
1993, the Graphisoft Prize has liberated architectural students and professionals from the
realm of the real and the possible, and invited them to delve into the unbridled
imaginations of some of our collective culture's greatest minds. Each year, a list of
themes is drawn from literature, film, poetry, mythology, music and fine art to fascinate
and inspire competitors from all parts of the globe. The themes for the 2000 GRAPHISOFT PRIZE include: Atlantis, the Sunken Island The City from Ray Bradbury's sci-fi novel The Illustrated Man The Cotton Club from Francis Ford Coppola's film of the same name Hilde's Dream Castle from Henrik Ibsen's play The Master Builder The Ministry of Truth from George Orwell's novel 1984 The Roadside Inn from Cervantes' novel Don Quixote Sarastro's Castle and Temple from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera The Magic Flute The Sanatorium from Thomas Mann's novel The Magic Mountain Shangrila from the song by Billy Idol The School from Pink Floyd's album The Wall Ursula's New House from Gabriel García Márquez' novel One Hundred Years of Solitude Walled City from William Gibson's novel Idoru This year's competition also includes a special millennium section, offering entrants the chance to design a modern-day version of a pharaoh's pyramid or L'Arc de Triomphe, or submit their student work for consideration as the "Student Project of the Millennium." The 2000 Graphisoft Prize competition is free and open to students and professionals of architecture, landscape architecture, urban planing, or an allied discipline from any country. Competitors must register at this site. Individuals or teams of up to three students or professionals may enter. A jury of renowned experts in the architectural field will meet in December to judge the qualifying entries and award prizes. Submission requirements include a complete ArchiCAD archive file, at least five rendered scenes using virtual reality (VR), a keyplan showing VR nodes, plans, elevations, sections suitable to convey design intent, and additional computer animation and still renderings. The competition makes extensive use of the Internet and the best entries will be presented on the Graphisoft Prize website. ArchiCAD pioneered the use of virtual reality for architecture in 1995 and has continued to develop and enhance its VR capabilities. Entries will be due at one of Graphisoft's offices (Budapest, San Francisco, Munich, Tokyo, London, Madrid, Sao Paulo and Santiago de Chile) on October 31, 2000. An ftp site will also be set up where competitors can upload their entries.
