Design challenge to fuse living
Hello, Since there are only three entries, is it possible to announce the result earlier?
Hi! All competition entries (a few or more) go through an evaluation process only as per the given schedule. Hence, unfortunately, it is not possible to declare results before the scheduled date. Thanks for your patience :) Good luck!
请问需要设计或者具体的室内装潢吗？期待您的回复。
静怡，您好 挑战在于设计一个混合用途的住宅模块 - 详细的内部视图/计划不是强制性的，但如果它们有助于更好地解释设计，您可以自由提交。希望这能解答您的疑问！ Translation, Hello Jingyi, The challenge is to design a mixed-use residential module - detailed interior views/plans are not a compulsion, but you are free to submit them if they help explain the design better. Hope this answers your query!
Hello, I have a question for the competition. Will the current sports fields be left ? The sports fields are adjacent to the development site, and according to the regulations the distance from the residential function between the sports fields should be 50 m. According to the regulations, there is no possibility to place a residential function.
Hello Miriam, The present regulations/land use of the region or adjacent plots can be overlooked as it is a conceptual competition. Good luck! :)
While the key open spaces could also have been depicted in the building and its surroundings, the project is complete and deals with the context implementation in a simple and resolved manner.The documentation of the project in plan, section, and visualisation demonstrate a consistency of detailing and approach that solve the various levels, access, materialisation and planting strategy for the project.
There is a general proposal design with a stylistic relationship with the surroundings. The spaces' relationship ideas are represented. It relates the dense construction very well with the green spaces. Well presented project.
Perfect
