Save Before Quitting is an experimentation platform for young designers and architects. Save Before Quitting arises from the domination of corporate architecture and the infatuation of STARchitecture. While prominent, these trends reflect only a minority of what the world of architecture and design produces. Due to these trends, few opportunities exist for the next wave of talent to exhibit their skills. An outlet for expression, an avenue for acknowledgement, Save Before Quitting is a venue, a gallery, and soapbox created to provide opportunities for the voiceless.
This is Save Before Quitting’s inaugural exhibit, where we will present the work of four top designers/architects and a select group of honorable mentions. Designers will be selected on their ability to tackle a specific problem AND how they choose to present their solution. This procedure allows participants to break free of standard competition formats and are encouraged to push the boundaries of presentation.
5 winners will be selected. Honorable Mentions will be selected at the jury’s discretion; there is no guarantee on how many mentions there will be. The group of winners will have their proposals and presentations exhibited within a 2,000SF gallery in the burgeoning art district of Opa Locka, located in Miami. A $400 reimbursable stipend will be granted to each of the winners which will go towards the exhibition of their work and costs associated.
About Topic – Beautiful Decay Beautiful Decay is an architectural exploration into the viability of current of methods of habitation. Both real and speculative, the selected projects explore sceneries and scenarios that tackle the issue facing our ever changing landscapes. We seek exemplary projects that tackle the issue as the designer sees fit. The project is site-less; and can be situated anywhere the designer(s) chooses. Work must be completed as a form of independent research and/or educational project. Past projects such as thesis work, are eligible. Designers must possess sole authorship of submitted work, and therefore projects done for others are strictly prohibited.
