CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: rogueHAA's archiCRITICAL Exhibition

rogueHAA is pleased to announce the next event in its 2011-2012 PROVOCATIONS panel discussion series: “archiCRITICAL: Evolving Detroit’s Architectural Criticism”. To complement this panel discussion, rogueHAA members are attempting an experiment, to curate an architectural exhibition of local “architectural” practice. To gauge the level of interest, we are asking that all interested parties respond to [email protected] by TUESDAY, January 10th by 5pm.

Our simple idea is this; we are asking designers to submit up to eight (8) projects (one project per 11 x 17) of recent work located within the southeast Michigan region.

We have developed a graphic template for submissions (which will be sent to all interested parties via email) and a few guidelines:

• Each designer can submit a maximum of eight projects
• One project per 11 x 17 template; template must be utilized
• Any portion of the project can be illustrated, but only one project per template
• Project can be illustrated in any phase: conceptual rendering, sketch, as-built photo, etc
• Work does not have to be built
• The exhibition is open to all professional architects, landscape architects, designers, planners, or policy makers influencing Detroit’s current built environment.
• Digital files (pdfs) must be received @ HAA by Friday, January 20th @ 5pm. Files can be emailed to [email protected]

We are attempting to keep this exhibit simple but powerful. When viewed individually, these projects may illustrate collective standards and expectations of our shared Detroit built environment. Viewed regionally, these projects may tell a different story about geographical nuances and aesthetic differences. As a catalog, the projects should help influence and perhaps direct the evening’s discussion.
