GOT - Architecture XXI Century

SUMMARY

The aim of the “GOT: Architecture XXI century” competition is to reconceive the fictional settings of Game of Thrones as contemporary architectural masterpieces. Participants are asked to draft one image with freedom of scale, technique, and level of abstraction, that will convey the new interpretation of one of the show’s castles and fortresses. Choosing one among the most prominent castles of the noble families, participants are encouraged to identify their architectural, functional and aesthetic characteristics and re-imagine them with contemporary and a critical eye.

We encourage creativeness, criticality, and innovation. We ask participants to submit one image with personal expression. This can be a technical drawing, an axonometric that highlights functional aspects of the building, a close up interior view of its main space, a panoramic perspective or even a comic strip. Regardless of the chosen mode of expression, the image needs to convey with clarity the design concept for the proposed castle.

ELIGIBILITY: Non Architecture Competitions are open to all human beings, from every age and cultural background, working in groups or individually.
