Architecture
The site is foremost in importance pertaining to submissions. It will be composed of two elements.
1) A physical location, real or otherwise, is to be chosen by entrants. Occupied sites and proposed demolitions are
allowed.
2) This location is to be set in a future in which the context is dramatically altered. The applicant is asked to
clearly define and consider one major aspect that makes this so.
An analysis of this twofold site must be developed and presented as one of two A1 boards. Any analysis must
address social, geophysical and environmental contexts and unveil one major problem which exists in or for this
future site. If a site is invented (physically or contextually), these contexts must too be invented.
The second A1 board should propose a built response to the problem identified within the analysis of the first
board. Here there is immense leeway as well as strict confinement. The possibilities for future conditions and
technologies are limitless, yet they must be reproducible in the way that scientific experiments must be
reproducible. Entrants must be capable of translating and communicating their visions of their future, their
problem and their solution to others who have never conceived of or envisioned the possibility for these things.
