Parkitecture Design Competition

By Sebastian J — Filed under: Competitions
 

Parkitecture-Design-CompetitionAs we motor toward the future, it’s time to rethink the structure that houses our automobiles—the humble garage. Dwell’s newest contest, sponsored by Lexus, is a challenge to incorporate forward-thinking technology into a freestanding building that can hold no more than three vehicles.

Using Google SketchUp, entrants are invited to submit at least two renderings—one interior and one exterior—that illustrate the technological possibilities and sustainable potential of the garage of the future.

This competition is just absurd!!!!

“By submitting an entry, you grant to Sponsors and their respective successors and assigns an unlimited, worldwide, perpetual license to publish, display, use, exploit, edit the text, adapt, modify, copy, disseminate, post, or dispose of the design, text and other submitted materials online, in print, film, television, or in any other media for editorial, advertising, promotional or other purposes without compensation or notification of any kind to you.”

WHAT?!?!

Basically, you do all the work… and they get all the money, credits, and whatever they want, because they stole your work and you can’t do nothing about it… great! :|
