Laka Competition 2015: Architecture that Reacts

Laka Competition’15: Architecture that Reacts
For details please visit: www.lakareacts.com/competition

Brief
— architecture that reacts.
Laka Competitions invites designers from around the world to submit their ideas of ‘architecture that reacts’. That means architecture which is able to respond and adjust dynamically to the current needs and circumstances. These circumstances are often unpredictable, but their consequences can be crucial. The architecture that reacts is the architecture that lives as a living organism, since it responds to the external stimuli and it develops because of it.
— to react is to live.
