This is your chance to accept the challenge of the ultimate brief and
design buildings in some of the world's most dramatic and exciting
locations.
Open to architects, architectural technicians, students, designers and
engineers, each brief offers you the opportunity to stretch your
creative mind to the full. The buildings, of course, are not going to be
built - the aim is to see what you think is possible....
The reward of facing the ultimate challenge is equally impressive. Our
sponsoring organisations are recognised as design leaders and true
innovators - and they have put together prize packages that are equal to
the task.
How Line of Site works
The competition is based on sketching - not fully developed designs. We
are looking for the initial ideas that capture the essence of creativity
and mark the point when those ideas take shape.
Taking part is straight forward. First of all you need to register -
entries can only be accepted from registered participants. Then click on
the live brief and follow the instructions.
An outline of the three briefs can be seen opposite. They will be
released one at a time and there are five weeks to complete each. You
can submit designs for just one or all three - but you only need to
register once.
Throughout the competition and at the end of each brief, Building Design
will be reviewing the entries and highlighting feedback from the judging
panel.
It is important to stress that it is the creative thinking behind each
design will be important - the judges will not just be assessing the
quality of the submitted sketches.
Four winning entries from each brief will go on to the grand final event
in October. For this, we will ask the designers to work up their
submissions in greater detail and present their ideas to the judging
panel. From the final twelve the overall winner will be selected.
