PINarchitecture is a creative outlet for designers to express unique ideas within a 4 inch circle. The contained format challenges designers to be concise while being less time- consuming than a standard competition.
April 2014 /// The Fighting Rooms
The programatic needs of a building are usually determined without full consideration of site, zoning, or budgetary constraints. Inevitably, the dimensions of the building plans are reduced, pushing rooms against one another and into competition for space. Even after the design is complete and the building is constructed, the friction between rooms rarely subsides. Shifting users, priorities, and technologies apply constant pressures on walls that define rooms. The expansion of one room means the reduction or complete removal of another. How might an architectural framework highlight and respond to programatic pressures in real-time? What happens when rooms fight each other?
Participants are asked to consider designs that are not simply flexible, but that express programmatic pressures. Submissions may be technical, conceptual, practical, and/or artistic.
