Call for Entries
Young architects and designers are invited to submit work to the annual Architectural League Prize Competition. Projects of all types, either theoretical or real, and executed in any medium, are welcome. The jury will select work for presentation in lectures, digital media, and an exhibition opening in June 2014. Winners will receive a cash prize of $1,000. A catalogue of winning work will be published by The Architectural League and Princeton Architectural Press.
Established in 1981 to recognize exemplary and provocative work by young practitioners and to provide a public forum for the exchange of their ideas, the Architectural League Prize is organized by The Architectural League and its Young Architects + Designers Committee.

Theme
Overlay
Historically, overlays were iterative design methods enacted through the superimposition of lines, notations, and marks. Work was developed incrementally as a serial process that revealed solutions. In the more recent past, we have seen morphological and diagrammatic sequences as conceptual overlays, animating a series of steps as instructions towards conclusive configurations. In a different manner today, notational overlays are currently used to position a single or collective project within a perceived framework.
We want to see overlay as it directs–rather than merely reconstructs–your process. We are interested in how overlay (iterative, conceptual, and notational) drives discourse, tension between iterations, design solutions, and the parameters by which work is reviewed. Overlay is unique to the designer; the techniques developed are activated overtime with layered meanings to push architectural concepts.
Overlay might include graphic, written, researched, and verbal references for reading your work. Overlay might also be the literal mapping of effects upon a surface. Pattern, ornamentation, decoration, tiling, and finishes are overlays, integrally engaged or superficially applied. These overlays may emerge from the project or at times become the project, especially as the means and opportunities for young architects to build is often limited.
Thus submissions might include interpretations of overlay that vary from process to presentation to product to shape and establish your identity as a young practice.
