The idea or concept
behind any piece of architecture is as important as the building itself
to designers. The idea is free and unhindered by
client's expectations.
|
 |
The essence of a building is what stands through time. In order to introduce
a certain degree of equality into the scheme of things, we invite you
to submit your concepts for ideal architecture. This could involve any
typology and could be in any place. The project may be built or unbuilt-
the ideas are what we are interested in. If we take it as a conceptual
submission, the sensitivity or originality of thought or idea is the
main concern. Even practicalities concerns may be overridden, if the
concept is amazing. Do you dare to dream?
