The Federation of Danish Architects (DAL) invites architects, designers etc. from all over the world to participate in a competition on architecture and design in the information technology society of the future.
The aim of the competition is to generate visualisations of concepts of the architectural consequences of the information technology society within the next 10-20 years. Architectural consequences must be interpreted in the broadest terms and can cover the whole range which traditionally forms the stamping ground of the architect, from design through building to town planning and landscaping.
Entries shall in metaphorical terms be perceived as windows onto self-selected and defined sectors of a future world, and architects wishing to enter the competition are encouraged to do so in inter-disciplinary partnerships with other professions such as engineers, sociologists and economists.
Entries shall be submitted by 6 February 2001 at the latest.
The prize sum is DKK 500,000 (minimum). Furthermore, the jury has DKK 500,000 at its disposal which may be distributed in consideration of the number and quality of the entries. A first prize of at least DKK 200,000 shall be awarded.
