WHAT ARE ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITIONS?
• An architectural design competition is a type of
competition in which an organization or government
body that plans to construct a new building invites
architects to submit a design proposal.
• The winning design is usually chosen by an
independent panel of design professionals and
stakeholders (such as government and local
representatives).
• Its used to generate new ideas for the building design,
to stimulate public debate, to generate publicity for the
project, and to allow emerging designers the
opportunity to gain exposure.
• Such competitions are mainly conducted for
commissions for public buildings: in some countries rules
for tendering public building contracts stipulate some
form of mandatory open architectural competition.
