1. Should we choose an existing place in the world and place our proposal there? Or do we not have to specify it and not add any location of the project. Should it be a real/existing space?
A: It has to be something modular and implementable at multiple locations. It is not necessary to pick a real site, however you can borrow partial data across various places to understand the ground realities. Also, you may pick a location to implement it however, it has to be represented like one of the prototypical installation instead of an in-situ custom solution.
2. Do we have to follow the four sides site. In the brief there is an example of m2 shown in a rectangle, however we would like to change that and have an idea of a different shape. Are we allowed to do that?
A: You can modify the shape until and unless its something standard and replicable like a hex or an octagon, or any simple/complex geometry that can be placed on existing farms/large plots without too much modification. A rectangle is a best fit in that sense, but you can choose your own.
3. In the brief there is a part regarding the multi-family housing. Do we have to design it or only show a conceptual building, more going into urban not housing design?
A: Yes massing should be enough, and conceptual unit plan or any part module explanation would be enough. Do not have to detail sections or draft detailed floor plans unless a crucial feature - otherwise blowups of such locations should suffice.
4. If we choose a shape, that can be attached, show we follow in every single piece the 8m rule Needing the ring of greenery, or can it just be on the outter sides?
A: The setup is intended to be more of a stand alone model, however incase of a sidebyside implementation setbacks can be merged for connected sites.
