Architectural
Competition by BuildingSteps.Com
"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?
