Call for Participation - Modeling Museums - 2nd International

The Hungarian Center for Contemporary Architecture (KÉK) invites architects, designers and institutions to participate in the 2nd International Architectural Model Festival with physical models of museums and exhibition venues. We welcome all built projects, visions, competition entries, research and experimental projects that were made between 1995 and 2010 and are related to the theme of the Festival. Entries should use physical models as their key presentation tool. Within this range all combinations are possible from conceptual and working models through presentation and detail models to prototypes etc. The festival intends to highlight the model as a design tool, thereby also opening up the design process to the wider public.

The festival will include two symposia and other programs on the architecture and programming of contemporary museums where project authors will be invited to speak along curators and directors of institutions. The selected works will be shown, presented and published in the subsequent catalogue.

Date: 13-16th November 2010.
Venue: Műcsarnok/Kunsthalle Budapest, 1146 Budapest, Dózsa György u. 37.

Projects can be submitted at the registration page until September 30.
