Arctic Hotel «Bigfoot footprint» But if today Rovaniemi is no longer exclusive the right of adventure seekers and seasoned travelers nicknames, it is necessary to define new models of hospitality properties capable of preserving the distant identity of lands, who have reached development far from a person, and who are thanks to his absence, they managed to preserve primitive beauty and harmony.
The name Cascadia calls to mind forests, mountains, water, vast open spaces, cities and towns and diverse cultural landscapes. But the daily reality for most of us is somewhat different. Yes, there are forests, waterways, urban centers and varied neighborhoods in the region, but there are also miles and miles of very similar commercial strip development, connecting towns along highways and hugging urban edges.

What is a prison? Prison is a place where inmates are confined and denied a variety of freedoms under the authority of the state as punishment for various crimes. But is this all to a prison? Can’t prison serve to be more than just a set up to punish the convicts? Recidivism is not a very rare occurrence. It's time to put out the question, why? Why do convicts go back to their old means as soon as they are released from the prison? Why are prisons failing to contribute to society?

Vistas of el Pantà de Sau from the Mirador De Vilanova De Sau
El Pantà de Sau is one of the most prominent features of its kind across the whole of Spain. The valley in which it lies was home to the small village of Sant Romà de Sau which is now submerged beneath the reservoir, apart from the Church steeple, which is still visible when the water level is low. The reservoir is one of many that provides water for Catalonia’s Capital city, Barcelona and is therefore of huge importance to the area.
Borders are spaces of transition—thresholds between areas with different characteristics. Whether political and imposed through human agency, or natural and made manifest through geographical features, borders have been, are, and will continue to be a staging ground for civilization’s greatest challenges. As urbanization pushes human activity towards Earth’s hinterlands, and existential threats such as—but not limited to—nationalism, warfare and climate change make geopolitical agreements more precarious, how we choose to choreograph and intersect these liminal spaces will reveal much about our priorities.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater is one of the most drawn buildings in architecture history. But what hides beyond the conventional portrayal of architecture?
The Competition aspires to have a realistically feasible project that will restore vitality to the district and aims to select the best proposals of an urban and landscape project relevant to the competition zone, foreseeing the establishment of a university campus with residences, study zones and laboratories, green areas and sports areas that will go to complete the planned building of residential and commercial buildings. The objective is urban requalification of the zone that unites the ex TECUMSEH area (circa 40.000 m2) and the CASTELLO DI MIRAFIORI area (circa 30.000 m2) starting from the indications present in the “Notes about the Planning” document attached to the Competition Notice. The Competition calls for an overall project for the entire portion of territory integrating the park and the built areas with the relevant surrounding environmental context and in general with the pre-existing buildings of the district. The project will evaluate the eventual recovery, even if only partial, of the industrial buildings within the abandoned areas for services. The graphic sheets must show in a synthetic way both the idea of urban insertion and the architectural-building features. SEE IN DEPTH: http://siat.torino.it/siat-young2021-eng/

The Kitesurf School Lençóis Maranhenses competition presents a space where you can experience the relationship between sport, nature and human beings. The project should highlight the uniqueness of the place and become a space where there is a respect for the landscape, culture and atmosphere of the place. This last point is important as the place arrives tourists from Europe or America constantly interested in knowing the place and in fact it is such an inaccessible place that it is normal to make small camping in the area. That is why this kitesurfing school has to allow itinerant accommodation of people but without excessive contamination of the place. Therefore, the proposed building should consider combining all these options. Tourists who arrive share experiences with the nature. A unique and unforgettable experience to get to know this amazing place. In these bases, the designer himself will define the m2 of each area, according to the unique idea he proposes. All ideas proposed will be valid. The project may be on earth, in the sky, buried or flying. It can be developed at the choice of the designer; it can be a compact module or be a dispersion of small buildings that solve the problem. The competition programme proposes the following spaces, which can be expanded, simplified and manipulated by the contestant as it sees fit but justified: - Personal area. Area dedicated to the work of 2 or 3 people who will put visitors first, give them kitesurfing instructions or the necessary material to practice the sports. - Food and rest area. This area can be shared, linked or even the same as the rest area if you want. It will be small accommodations for up to 10 people who come to practice the sport and want to have this experience more than 1 day. - Toilet area. The minimum and indispensable unit needed to do so. Bathroom, shower and toilet. It is not intended to place a battery of small toilets as the minimum possible impact and the minimum ecological footprint possible are required. -Storage area: All material needed for sports must be stored. This warehouse may be indoors or outdoors, covered or not. Depends on the idea of the designer. As mentioned above, the surface of the proposal is free and these spaces can be closed, opened or semi-open depending on the intentions of each project, and can be set to any dimension of the enclave. Hence, there are no restrictions that can influence the decisions each participant makes. The freedom of the project is absolute, this contest proposes that the participant research the landscape and the different forms of intervention in it. Study boundaries, scales, views, cross-looking, horizons, accesses. It’s the keys to follow. * Participants can suggest new areas not proposed in this document, as well as eliminate or combine some of those already mentioned
