To this day, Le Corbusier's vision for the Capitol Complex in Chandigarh, India remains incomplete -- and among those unfinished elements is the Museum of Knowledge. In response, online competition organizer Archasm created a single-stage ideas competition titled Chandigarh Unbuilt. All architects, students, engineers, philosophers, artists and the like are challenged to envision a Museum of Knowledge for the 21st century.
Early registration opens on August 1. The final deadline for submissions is October 31, 2015.
Read on for more details.
"The MoK, according to Corbusier was to function as a decision-making or a briefing center for the government officials, highlighting the importance and applied use of technology and electronics in processing, synthesizing and presenting large bodies of information related to the state matters.
The aim of this competition is to design the Museum of Knowledge (MoK) at the original cumulative site of the then proposed MoK and Martyr’s memorial in the Capitol complex. The participants are tasked with defining the purpose of a KNOWLEDGE/ CONAISSANCE MUSEUM in the Chandigarh of 21st century. The proposal for the MoK needs to interpret the function of a knowledge museum in a way that is germane and relevant to the present and future and helps in alleviating chaos and disorder, be it economic, political, social, environmental, urban, technological, demographical etc. in nature."
