Description

Architectural competitions date back centuries, today they play an important role in architectural practice as they offer architects vital opportunities to pitch their work across the globe. Competitions also allow previously unknown designers to demonstrate their ideas and their potential by gaining exposure in the world of architecture. 100 richly illustrated projects displayed in this volume cover a wide scope of contemporary building types and concepts, that range from commercial to residential and educational, whilst also incorporating extravagant futuristic visions of urban planning for various town sections and cities. Renderings, structures in their planning phase and unrealized projects show the exciting scope of architectural possibilities. This book delves into the heart of unrestricted architectural creativity and offers astounding insights into the unique work of both established as well as up-and-coming designers.
