Laka Competition 2020 "Architecture that Reacts"

Registration Deadline:  Sunday, Dec 1, 201911:59 PMBST

Submission Deadline:  Friday, Dec 20, 201911:59 PMBST

LAKA COMPETITION 2020: ‘ARCHITECTURE THAT REACTS’

The subject of the competition is architectural, urban, technological, or product design that is capable of dynamic interaction with its social, natural, or built surroundings. The main focus of the competition is on solutions developed through a process of changes and adjustments. Achieving such a goal requires an interdisciplinary approach that often goes beyond typical solutions. The winning projects from the previous editions often took advantages from disciplines such as robotics, mechanics, digital fabrication, biodesign and biofabrication, computational design, materials science, bioarchitecture, social sciences, industrial design, mobility, and more. The participants are free to decide the project’s location, scale, size, and program. In 2019, the Laka Competition ‘Architecture that Reacts’ celebrates its fifth edition! www.lakareacts.com
