NEXT LANDMARK Floornature international contest

NEXT LANDMARK - Venice 2012
FLOORNATURE INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE CONTEST

FLOORNATURE, the portal for architecture, design and design culture, and IUSVE are promoting the first NEXT LANDMARK: an architecture contest for the university graduates of the new millennium. The winning projects will be exhibited in an event held on the same dates as the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale.

The NEXT LANDMARK Floornature International Architecture Contest sheds light on new projects by young architects to offer them the visibility they deserve and a chance at international success. By promoting new projects and concepts in contemporary living, NEXT LANDMARK aims to offer new architects an ethical opportunity with a declared interest in promoting the community and to uncover talented new architects of the future.
The competition is open to young designers (architects, engineers, landscape architects, urban planners) all over the world who graduated after January 1, 2000, offering young architects an opportunity to submit their work online with no entry fee by simply registering for the dedicated mini-website http://contest.floornature.com.

Prizes will be presented to projects and studies meeting the requirements of originality and eco-sustainability and all ideas emphasising the relationship between people, architecture and land.

The prizes will be presented during the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale, during an evening event showcasing the winning projects and architects.

•  Debut work, open to built architectural projects completed by young architects.
•  Research, open to unbuilt urban redevelopment projects, ideal buildings, graduating theses and theoretical reflection on contemporary living.

The international panel of professionals judging the competition will select 1 winner in each section to be awarded a 3-day trip to Venice for the Biennale opening, exhibition of their projects in an event held during the Biennale and publication on the web portal www.floornature.com of the project and a video interview with the architect.
There will also be 2 special mentions in each section, which will be exhibited in the event held during the Architecture Biennale and promoted on the portal with publication of information on the projects and a joint video interview with the four winners of special mentions.
