Architecture Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Architecture Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your architecture is judged together with its site relevance, engineering, use of space and interior design. Applicants should send high-resolution images of the architecture, showing the project from different angles and perspectives together with a textual presentation of their work. The main image is especially important and should be a professionally taken photograph of the structure from the exterior. In addition to images, elevations, schematics, layouts, site details and visitor flows could further be uploaded as support documents.
Item | Dimensions | Format | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Main Image Required |
JPEG | The Key Visual should be a striking image that captures the architectural design's essence, ideally photographed in clear weather to enhance its features. Emphasis on the structure's silhouette against the sky or its integration into the landscape can be particularly powerful. The composition should invite viewers to appreciate the design's scale, form, and interaction with its environment. | |
Optional Image 1 Required |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 1 ought to offer an interior perspective that complements the exterior Key Visual, revealing the spatial dynamics and material palette within. Natural lighting can be employed to underscore the interplay of light and shadow, which defines the interior atmosphere. This image should provide insight into the design's functionality and the experience it offers its inhabitants. |
Optional Image 2 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 2 should focus on architectural details that highlight innovative construction techniques or unique material applications. Close-up shots of these elements can reveal the craftsmanship and attention to detail, illustrating the design's quality and the architect's vision. |
Optional Image 3 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 3 is best used to depict the building in its urban or natural context, illustrating how it relates to its surroundings. An image taken during twilight can showcase the lighting design and the building's presence within the larger environment, emphasizing its contribution to the local ambiance. |
Optional Image 4 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 4 should capture the architecture in use, with human interaction that conveys its scale and social function. Images of people engaging with the space can demonstrate the design's impact on community and user experience, providing a sense of life and activity within the architectural work. |
Documentation PDF Document Highly Optional |
A4 Page Size |
Documentation shall include comprehensive plans, sections, elevations, and detailed drawings that convey the project's scope and technical aspects. Environmental impact studies, material specifications, and design concept statements can further elucidate the architecture's purpose and innovation. | |
Video Video / Audio File Highly Optional |
AVI | Video content should be a well-composed walkthrough that takes the viewer on a journey through the architectural space, emphasizing design highlights and functional aspects. Narration or text overlays can provide context, explaining the design's concept, the challenges faced during its realization, and its significance within the architectural field. |
