How do members of the discipline of architecture want the public to understand what we do? Is architecture 'art that has talent,' does it need to answer questions intelligently, should it titillate, does it need to make an impact to be good, how much does personality matter?
This competition is interested in both projects that help the public appreciate the profession and the ways in which a designer communicates. While architectural education is interested in process, pageants are about products-- parade your project, pose your best side and make your case in a way that that anyone can understand it. Your project may use things like algorithms to generate patterns or geometry, parametric modeling, manufacturing techniques to explore effects, spatial logics to create an urban interface, or program that promotes entrepreneurialism, but remember that nerd talk might not get you a date with a client.
To submit, upload your project at ARCHIVE100.org and then simply add "Beauty Contestant" as one of the Categories. (You may submit a project already uploaded by just adding this Category listing.) Any project completed in affiliation with a school of architecture from the US and Canada is eligible. There is no entry fee. Entries must be posted by November 15, midnight EST. The more you upload, the better chance you have of winning one of five $100 prizes along with a copy of Joan Ockman's forthcoming ACSA100 book on architectural education, as well as being part of a special feature in the ARCHIVE exhibition opening in 2012.
