Building Fashion

DATES
- Submission Deadline for Huey: June 27, 2010 11:59 PM EST
- Notification: June 30, 2010
- If selected: Design Review July 1–2, 2010
- Installation Period: July 26-28
ELIGIBILITY + CRITERIA
This competition is open to all. Applicants can be established entities or groups of individuals. Winners will be selected based on three criteria:
Experience: Entrants are asked to upload examples of their work to Architizer.com to demonstrate their design heritage. This work need not be specifically architectural in nature, but special consideration will be given to teams that have designed, built and installed projects. The more examples provided the better chance the jury will have to familiarize themselves with the applicant’s work.
Proposal: Applicants will be asked to submit at least one sketch of the space that describes a material and design direction. Although only one sketch is required, applicants are encouraged to submit as many sketches as necessary to describe their vision. Proposals should include specific ideas of clothing display and building technique (materiality and installation). Proposals will be regarded as initial ideas to be developed in cooperation with the fashion designer and the High Line Fashion organizers.
Feasibility: Applicants are asked to submit a preliminary budget and work plan that describes how the project will be realized. This should include a notion of labor, material cost, transportation (if the applicant is not from NYC), etc.
JURY
BOFFO and Architizer will choose three applicants based on their creative vision, compatibility, and ability to execute the proposed design. The final decision is up to Spurr.
SELECTION
Building Fashion and Architizer will deliver the results on June 30, 2010 via email. The winning design will be rewarded with a $5,000 stipend used for building production, featured on Architizer’s front page, BOFFO and Building Fashion
websites, as well as a host of PR produced by HL Group.
ENTRY MATERIAL STEP #1 - Architizer Upload
- Upload your firm profile to Architizer. If the applicant is a group of individuals, be sure each individual has a complete profile on Architizer. The more complete the profiles the better the judges will be able to consider the applicant.
-Upload at least 3 projects to Architizer (so we can see what you are made of!)
STEP #2 - Email
The following should be submitted as a single 8.5”x11” PDF no bigger than 3mb and labeled: FirmName_ DesignProposalName.pdf. The PDF should consist of the following:
-Page 1: Firm Name, Participants, Location and a brief (500 or fewer words) description of the proposal. Be sure to address issues of materiality and build-ability.
-Page2: Preliminary budget proposal that allocates the $5,000 stipend and a work proposal that explains transportation and lodging (if you don’t live in NYC), labor (paid labor, friends, family, etc.), and timing (applicants are encouraged to build off-site, leaving the 3 day period only for installation)
- Page 3+ : Sketches of your vision for the High Line Fashion space. Don’t worry too much about page layout… just make sure the idea gets across. These sketches could be renderings, plans, sections, elevations, etc.
