Concorso internazionale per studenti sul tema dell'architettura in trasformazione, supportato dalla Union International des Architects (UIA). Oltre a premi in denaro, per i vincitori ci sarà la possibilità di attivare uno stage presso noti studi internazionali. Presiede la giuria: Bernard Tschumi.

2016 marks the fifth edition of UIA-HYP Cup International Student Competition in Architectural Design, the sole annual international architecture competition for students in Mainland China that receives the support of Union International des Architects (UIA). It is a platform for global architecture students to approach the theme "Architecture in Transformation", and for the rest of the world to check out the latest trend of Chinese architectural education.

Architecture in Transformation should make responses to current situation and era. What concerns us is the relationship between architecture and city, and between architecture and natural environment. The competition aims at searching and constructing human space with a sense of place in the increasingly fragmented cities and unordered villages, exploring environment-friendly and sustainable ideas in the information age, and integrating creative design concepts with solid basic skills effectively in architectural education. The competition requires the participants to make detailed examinations and reflections on architectural history, exploring complicated requirements to architecture and environment by current users, pay attention to events in specific sites, and configure viable urban and architectural spaces.

Jury chairman: Bernard Tschumi.

Theme: Concept and Notation

Architecture almost exclusively uses visual means to outline what it does: Plans, Sections, Elevations, Perspectives, Axonometrics. But what about movement-the movement of bodies in space? Are there modes of notation applicable to what has been excluded from architectural discourse? What about the other four senses-touch, sound, smell, and why not taste? In this competition, you will invent new modes of notation that not only include the proposed movement of bodies in space, but also lead to an architectural concept, namely an overriding idea that directs the development of your scheme.

The program will act as an urban generator. By this, we mean a place that can foster and encourage new modes of living unknown till today.

Participants must choose one of the following five programs: library, museum, clinic, love hotel, cemetery.

Eligibility

This is a fair competition open to all architecture students around the globe. Full-time on-campus architecture students from accredited institutions (including graduate school students, PhD candidates and those who graduate in 2016) can participate alone or as a team with team members of no more than four people and advisors of no more than two.
