The aim of the “48h Floor Plan Battle” competition is to develop one drawing to communicate an architectural design. The participants are asked to draft one floorplan, with absolute freedom of interpretation, technique and level of abstraction. Even the concept of floorplan itself can be questioned in order to craft the most expressive way to represent the design.
In this competition we encourage participants to come up with visionary concepts for an alternative public space that embraces today’s challenges – Only 2 drawings, absolute freedom of scale, site or program. Participants are asked to propose conceptual ideas for the public space that will populate our future cities.

Art is the color, the shape, and the tune that translate human emotions (happiness, grief, hope etc.) into form. Art is a dialogue between an artist, society, and history. It expresses the tension between what we think and what we feel. Art influences society by changing opinions, instilling values and translating experiences. Visual Art is all art that can be perceived by the eye. The visual arts are art forms such as painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, photography, video, filmmaking, design, crafts, and architecture.
As the old saying goes, “To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold.”The white and grey hues of the winter canvas, the fluffy cold snow, the misty fog, the naked trees and glistening icicles hanging off them are a magical masterpiece by nature itself. The puritanical quality and serenity of the winter landscape is so immersive and ethereal that it can have healing effects on one’s body and soul. The carnival-esque atmosphere during Christmas or Hanukkah, the beautifully decorated streetscape, the rumbling bonfires, the smell of mulled wine to people carving figurines/snowmen, sledding or casually skating on the sheath of ice are a sight to cherish and enjoy. Winter shouldn’t be an introverted time of the year. Rather, its beauty should be admired and celebrated by all of us.

Do you go through the downtown (or city center) in your city and think something's missing? Or that something could be improved? If you had the opportunity to bring in a catalyst that can change the character of the place - what would it be? If you could add a building or retrofit some existing ones or perhaps add a park system that could exponentially improve the quality of the downtown - wouldn't that be great? If yes, then this challenge is for you!
