Building Components Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Building Components Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your building components design is judged together with its materials, practicality, durability, ease of maintenance and packaging. Applicants should send high-resolution images of the building components, showing the product from different angles, together with a textual presentation of their work. Main image is especially important and should be on a white background whenever possible, alternatively a highly professional photograph in a modern setting is acceptable. In addition to images, product manuals, installation instructions and maintenance guides could further be uploaded as support documents.
Item | Dimensions | Format | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Main Image Required |
JPEG | The Key Visual should encapsulate the essence of the building component, presented in high resolution with clarity that accentuates its design and functionality. An ideal backdrop would be neutral to ensure the component stands out, yet contextually appropriate if it enhances the design's understanding. The image should convey the component's application and potential in architectural design, inviting jurors to envision its use in real-world scenarios. | |
Optional Image 1 Required |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 1 shall display the building component in various applications or alongside complementary components, illustrating its adaptability within different architectural contexts. The image should provide a comprehensive view of how the component can be integrated into diverse design scenarios, showcasing its versatility and compatibility with other building elements. |
Optional Image 2 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 2 must focus on the unique features of the building component, such as innovative materials, structural details, or sustainability aspects. A close-up view is recommended to highlight these attributes, allowing jurors to appreciate the intricacies and technical advancements embodied in the component's design. |
Optional Image 3 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 3 ought to place the building component within an architectural project, showing its practical implementation. The image should demonstrate the component's contribution to the aesthetic and functional qualities of a building, emphasizing how it complements or enhances the overall architectural design. |
Optional Image 4 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 4 is expected to capture the building component during installation or use, emphasizing ease of assembly, durability, or maintenance. This action-oriented image should reveal the practical benefits and user experience associated with the component, providing insight into its long-term performance and reliability in a construction setting. |
Documentation PDF Document Highly Optional |
A4 Page Size |
Documentation should consist of detailed technical specifications, installation guides, and performance data that underscore the building component's quality and compliance with industry standards. The document shall be informative, presenting the component's design process, material innovations, and any certifications that attest to its excellence in building technology. | |
Video Video / Audio File Highly Optional |
AVI | Video content should offer a dynamic visual narrative that showcases the building component's features, installation process, and potential impact on architectural design. The video may include testimonials from architects or builders, demonstrating the component's value addition to construction projects, and highlighting its significance in the evolution of building practices. |
