Design Challenge: Sameness is consuming us… We can see it everywhere in rapidly growing cities that place priority on economy, law enforcement, transport logistics and urban sprawl. Such concentration on these areas is causing a loss of identity and an increase in similarity and repetitiveness. How can playful moments be injected into the urban fabric?
Imagine the limitless world of a child. Creative boundaries have not yet been conceived, limits not yet understood. Kerb18 wants to see your city in all its wildness. A child can compose a world of immeasurable fantasy and pleasure yet the regulations that we currently adhere to have diminished our ability to make this our reality
PlastiCity FantastiCity is remodeling the constructed city at any chosen scale to become a world of playful opportunity, where nothing that manifests itself in today’s cities is present. This ideas competition seeks a multidisciplinary approach to discover new potentials and possibilities within the world and in particular for the Landscape Architecture profession.
Submission Requirements: Submission is to be a maximum two AO .PDF panels (1189mmx841mm), landscape or portrait uploaded to the competition website as a single PDF that must not exceed 8MB.
