The International Union of Architects announces the launch of an international
competition that will invite architecture students from around the world to create imagemodels
of examples of significant architectural creativity realised during the 20th
century.
This competition is an opportunity for the architects of tomorrow to enrich the web index
http://www.archi.fr/UIA with their own expression of an architectural realisation from the last
century, using today’s design tools. The image models to be designed for this
competition need to be based on digital photographs created using Autodesk®
ImageModeler™ and Autodesk® Stitcher™ Unlimited software. This software will be
made available by Autodesk® to the competitors for use free of charge for the duration of
the competition. All phases of the competition will be conducted on-line.
Students are free to choose the structure they wish to represent, from a major landmark
to an unknown building, with the condition that it was built between 1901 and 2000.
Entries can be architectural descriptions based on panoramic images and/or 3D models
of the structure in its current state. Students may also work in groups, on different
elements or structures in an architectural or urban complex.
Competitors should register on-line through the competition website from October 19,
2009 until March 26, 2010. Submissions may be transmitted on-line from April 5, to
April 26, 2010.
The competition website will open on October, 19, 2009. The full competition
regulations will be available at the competiton web site.
