Results of the International ideas competition for architecture students SLANT 2013/2014 that in its fifth SLANT competition you are being invited to submit a design for a public space/park which will be designed to incorporate, either in part or in whole, the concept of “Transition”, and you are free to interpret this concept as you please.
Transition effect us all most days of our lives and it can be found in many different areas of our interests and activities. Politics, the Arts, Technology, History, Geography, Geology, Society, Family, Religion… these are just some of the areas that can express and experience transition, but you have a free hand in selecting your own area of interest on which to base your concept and design.
So in other words, apart from providing all of the facilities and features, including cafés and restaurants, toilets etc. which you believe will make this an attractive and practical public space, we want you to give expression to our theme of “transition”. Some may choose to express this concept right across their entire design, whilst others may select to confine it to specific areas or some to an object such as a work of art, or perhaps others may choose to design a structure such as a pavilion, however, regardless of which method you choose, it is important that you express the theme in a meaningful way. The selection and use of materials used in the course of expressing the theme, both hard and soft (i.e. plants) will be noted by the judges.
The site in question is not a real site, it has been designed solely for this competition, and its location is not being specified.
It is a generic site that could be almost anywhere in the world and you are free to choose the country and location in which you would like this imaginary site to be placed.
