Castle Resort competition: standard registrations open

Standard registrations are still open to join "Castle Resort", an architectural competition launched by YAC - Young Architects Competitions - in cooperation  with Marlegno. 

A medieval castle overlooking a fairy place,  a destination first engraved into the unreal and then on a map that would become an exclusive tourist facility. Aimed at enhancing the historic and landscape value, "Valore Paese" — the Italian State Property Agency — ’s project focuses on the protection and promotion of such a priceless heritage.

Designers are invited to let themselves get swept away by the charm of this abandoned fortress to conceive a fabulous accommodation facility, plunged into a majestic nature and set among the traces of an impressive castle. A dream place, capable of inspiring the imagination of every tourist who visits and offering a timeless holiday, all wrapped up by the comfort of modern life mixed in with ancient remains. 

The international  jury panel is made up of well-known personalities in the architectural field including, among the others,  Souto de Moura, Todd Saunders from "Saunders Architecture", Alain Laurens from "La Cabane Perchée" .

A total of € 20,000 in cash prize will be awarded. The winner will receive € 10,000, the second prize € 4,000, the third prize € 2,000 and  the 4 Gold Honorable Mentions € 1,000 each. In addition, 10 projects will be  rewarded with a Honorable Mention and 30 with a Finalist Mention.
