PINarchitecture /// May Brief : The Wandering Foundation

PINarchitecture is an open monthly competition for designers who have a desire to exercise design skills and communicate original ideas.  Submissions are both small and digital to give busy designers an opportunity to participate without the time commitment of a standard competition. There is no fee to participate. The first place winner will receive a poster containing the top 10 submissions of the month.

May Brief / The Wandering Foundation
 
Buildings are rooted to their sites, which provides a context, orientation, and reliable location.  But what if a building slips from its site? Untethered, it begins to wander on its own, like a raft without rudder.  How does our relationship change with an architecture that is continuously shifting from place to place?  Do we follow it nomadically, or do we remain rooted to a geographic position and abandon the shell?  What happens when an indeterminacy replaces a fixed site?  What happens when foundations wander?
 
Participates are asked to design structures that move periodically or continuously in unpredictable directions, without human control.
