When it says "Ground Coverage: 30%" does that mean that is the maximum percentage of the site area the structure can make up?

UNI Support #2 4y ago

Hello, The ground coverage is the maximum area of the site that the built structure CAN cover. It denotes that ground coverage cannot exceed 30% of the given site area (i.e. it can be equal to 30% or even less than 30%). Good luck!

Hello! What does the maximum build-up area mean?

UNI Support #1 4y ago

Hello, Maximum build-up area refers to the total area your intervention will occupy. This is calculated as per the FAR (Floor area ratio) - which in this case is 1.

And another question will be - is it possible to make the 10 meters height not fixed? For example, if a concept implies a flexible roof, where the height doesn’t remain constant but flexible and can be higher than 10 meters at certain period of times, depending on events?

UNI Support #1 4y ago

Hello Gamid, Greetings! We recommend limiting the height to 10m as per the brief. However, in a scenario of a flexible roof make sure the height doesn't go beyond 20% of the given height (10m). On failure to adhere, the entry will be penalized as per our disqualification policy.

I want to register for the competition with the $150 round, but every time I click on the register button, they show me the $51 round only, so how do I solve the problem?
