Covid 19 Memorial Call for Submissions

Brief
The global pandemic has already taken more than 4 million lives and it has
changed the way we work, live, play, and interact with others in so many ways.
Because of COVID-19, our lives will never be the same and the world is still
grieving.
Due to increased pandemic safety measures, many people didn’t have the
opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones or to honour them properly. The
pandemic’s impact goes beyond the individual losses and throughout the
affected communities, cities, and countries of the World.
Our challenge is to design a public memorial, to honour those who have
departed as a direct result of the COVID-19 outbreak and to bring some closure
to those who are suffering the loss of friends, family, co-workers, and loved
ones. It will be a collective reminder for both present and future generations
and a symbol of hope that mankind can withstand and overcome any obstacle.
This should go along with a short description of your proposal, no more than 150
words.
Location
While there is no defined location chosen as of yet, we are asking participants
to select a site from their home country. It is recommended to choose a location
that is publicly available and accessible to all. This ensures that every person that
has been affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic can visit the memorial and
share in the remembrance of those who have departed as a result of COVID-19.

This competition is open to everyone 18 years and older and it can be developed
individually or by teams. Each team can contain a maximum of 4 members.

Open Call: Layer 2.0 - Extension on a modernist Building in Tel Aviv-Yafo

In the 21st century, most metropolitan areas are characterized by dense construction. Considering both the forecasts of population growth and the limited land reserves, future urban renewal projects will inevitably involve new building additions above existing structures, creating a new urban layer. Tel Aviv-Jaffa is inadvertently becoming a living lab, where new construction integrates with the conservation of the UNESCO listed heritage zone, located in the heart of the city.

City Analysis Collage

“… because collage is a method deriving its virtue from its irony, because it
seems to be a technique using things and simultaneously disbelieving in them,
it is also a strategy which can allow utopia to be dealt as image, to be dealt in
with fragments without having to accept it in toto, which is further to suggest
that collage could even be a strategy which, by supporting the utopian illusion
of changelessness and finality, might even fuel a reality of change, motion,
action and history.” ROWE, Colin, KOETTER, Fred, “Collage City”, p.149, the MIT
press, 1983.
According to Schwarzer: “Today’s cities no longer make sense. Maybe they
should not make sense. Like post-modern society at large, cities are paradoxical
and ambiguous, constantly mutating under the impact of new life-styles,
fashions, technologies and view- points. They are the site of highly diverse
interactions, rapid ¯ fluctuations of capital, hazy physical boundaries and
seemingly irreconcilable architectural and urban movements.” SCHWARZER,
Mitchell, “The Contemporary City in Four Movements”, p.127, California College
of Arts and Crafts, 2010
We challenge you to creatively debate the city using the collage technique,
exposing a criticism/satire of the existing reality and/or an alternative proposal
to that reality.
This should go along with a short description of your proposal, no more than 150
words.
