Faith
Architecture for New Belief System
The brief states that we will submit our sheets alongside a cover image, but is this 'cover image' with the site plan, section and views the same size as the sheets? and what does it mean when it says the Cover image/thumbnail size has to be in a 2:1 ratio? Is this 'cover image' on the sheet?

what is the height of ming dynasty wall remains? We need it for 3D model. Also for the site plan, sections and architectural plans do we need to use a specific scale?
Hello, I would like to ask if there is a specific spaces/programme to follow? Thanks

where can I find the additional resources?
Hi Adam you can find the additional resources in the my entries section after clicking your avatar in the top right corner. The resources are unlocked automatically as soon as you register in the competition.
During the publication and submission of the project for the competition, there were problems on the site. After waiting for 2 hours, the project was uploaded, but information about team members, page titles, and additional details were deleted due to problems with the website. I would like to clarify whether it is possible to add this data. Thank you very much in advance.
Я думаю, это стандартная мера конфедициальности. Чтобы не знать автора и все, что могло бы как-то быть с ним связанно. Хотя про название проекта я тоже не выкупаю
Hi, FAR or total floor area limit is not shown in the introduction of the competition, is there any? or no limited total floor area?
Redefine the Private and Shared Space of Cohousing
This project proposes the investigation of spatial layers within the Co-housing typology to challenge the balance and relationship between private and shared space. The design insertion speculates by redefining the boundary between private and shared space in today’s shared living conditions and will introduce a new sharing method for young professionals.
Great job! Really like it.

BRAID
Culture and Learning Centre Rajagiriya, Colombo A cultural and learning centre for the people of Sri Lanka which welcomes people of all groups and encourages and promotes the traditional culture of Sri Lanka. Braid is a space which encapsulates flexible spaces enabling collaborating and outdoor learning.
The contemporary outlook towards the traditional roof is very intresting. There is a good balance between traditional and contemporary design with the use of traditional materials with a contemporary design context. There could have been a landscaped buffer between the rooms and site boundary at the basement level, thus creating a cross ventilation and visual flow of indoor and outdoor spaces.
honestly very interesting! It surprises me how innovative the current generation is :')
This is my favorite. What a wow!

Cell Renewal Community
The project is based on the concept of "Cellular Renewal", which simulates cellular growth, cell division, and blood oxygen exchange, and imparts this dynamic to the community itself, where culture is the equivalent of oxygen, and our space rotates, moves, and grows to further increase the exchange of different cultural activities. We would like to think abo

Pilgrimages are today losing meaning in the expanding ocean of commercialization and chaos. How can architecture holistically redefine them?
This such a fun concept, that too from simplistic modules!! Amazing guys!!
Amazing
Great work guys!!!
Light and Water: A Sensory Experience
Connecting faith and lack of religious affiliation to a sensory experience that evokes feeling of tranquility and peacefulness thr
The project has a beautiful aproach to the site and complete respect for the chinese traditional architecture without mimicking it. The different scales of the spaces and their sequence is very intelligent and accurated. The whole project is coherent in almost all aspects (site interpretation, program, scale and materialization). Very beautiful and poetic spaces. We can feel relaxation even in the communitary and more public spaces.
A Center for Faith Agnostics
The Center for Faith Agnostics is a place of universal welcome. At its simplest, it is a pavilion in a public park. However, for those seeking answers to deeper questions, the Center offers an opportunity to engage with the intersection between physical and spiritual in a series of chapels dedicated to air, fire, water and earth.
There is an ancient approach to the theme of the competition very well translated in the project. The diversity of the spaces is interesting, as it is the design of the park. Although, there is to much happening without a clear purpose. The materiality of the building is quite poor and messy.
DIF Comitancillo Center: A Community Architecture Project in Oaxaca
Community center in Oaxaca uses vaulted concrete, lattice facades, patios, and flexible spaces to deliver dignified, climate-responsive social infrastructure community.
The design directly faces ancient city wall and creates a spatial group just like archeological museums and ruins. Light endows interior space with a meditative atmosphere; thus, it generates features of poetic ceremony and memorial place.
The concept is comprehensible, but the site integration on the site is too stiff and forced. The program is interesting although it seems a little bit fragmented. There isn't a coherent architectural characterization between the different spaces.
very cool!
Very original project!! Well done
Very creative !
