This competition provides an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students from schools of architecture around the world to submit their solutions for short, medium and long-term interventions around the dynamic and complex Warwick Junction site in Durban, South Africa.
The work of shortlisted student teams will be exhibited, and the competition winners announced, at the UIA 2014 Durban Congress in August 2014. Outside of the cash value of the prizes, the prestige of winning this competition, which forms part of the UIA International Congress of Architecture, cannot be overstated.
This competition is limited to students who study architecture (undergraduate and graduate levels). Copies of Student Identity Cards or documentation proving that each member of the team is a student at the time of submitting the competition entry must be provided on registration. The students may submit projects that were done under the supervision of lecturers at their schools of study.
The competition teams or individual entrants must register online, via the UIA 2014 website . All team members must be listed with contact emails; however a team leader and correspondence person must be identified. The information required includes the architecture school where the entrants are registered as students as well as the school’s physical address. Only entries submitted through the website will be accepted. Only one of the 4 site edges mentioned in section 5 must be selected for the detailed design proposal. Personal data will be used for UIA 2014 purposes only.
