Poto:Type

Potogroup and the Architectural Foundation of British Columbia presents an
open architectural ideas competition: poto:type. This competition will
question the emerging typology originating in Vancouver’s downtown area:
podium/tower typology.

Potogroup makes an invitation to the participants to explore, rethink,
question and experiment with new ideas that will challenge the concept of
the podium/tower. This investigation should encompass formal, programmatic,
social and cultural aspects of this specific type. The projects should
challenge the logic of the present, formulate new questions, and facilitate
variations that will allow new potentials for living and existing in the
city. Poto:type should investigate both macro and micro scale as well as
examine the notion of ‘vertical sprawl’.
