The designs of the six shortlisted teams that entered the Adelaide Contemporary competition are now on display.
Adjaye Associates and BVN with McGregor Coxall, Steensen Varming, Plan A Consultants, Barbara Flynn, Yvonne Koolmatrie, Aurecon Group and Front Inc
BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group and JPE Design Studio with United
It’s almost strange to state that the format of the above competition is a departure from the recent trend toward invited competitions in Taiwan. But competition adviser Barry Cheng administered an open, two-stage international competition, which recently ended with the top two places going to well-known U.S.-based firms: Morphosis (Los Angeles) and Leers
The shortlist was expanded from the expected five to six in recognition of the outstanding response from the international design community. The finalist teams won their places on the basis of submissions scored on relevant experience and team composition.

Following the international competition, ARADA has appointed Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) to design the Central Hub, the centerpiece of Aljada, the developer’s masterplan in Sharjah, UAE. The other competitors in the invited competition were HOK (U.S.) and RMJM (London).

Large, blockbuster competitions often gain the attention of the world architectural community; but the RIBA’s policy of providing administrative collaboration for more modest-sized projects in the U.K. is certainly laudable. In this particular case, the competition was for an extension of the Galdstone’s Library, located in Wales.
As has recently been customary in most U.K. competitions, shortlisted firms competed for the opportunity to gain the commission for the project. With the exception of Simpson & Brown (Edinburgh), the finalists were all based in London.
OFFICE 52 at Carnegie Mellon
Form and Dichroic Light
In his introduction to Form and Dichroic LIght, Michael Crosbie never mentions the term, “wild card,” to describe Office 52’s participation in the invited competition for the Carnegie Mellon Engineering Building. The four finalists, picked from a list of 17 firms, also included three household names: ZGF, Wilson, and BCJ (Bohlin Cywinski, Jackson). So what possible chance could a firm, which had just recently opened a small office in Portland, Oregon, have against a competition lineup of this magnitude? But as OFFICE 52 Principal, Isaac Campbell explained, as a small firm, “we were quite nimble,” and the $50,000 stipend the firms all received to produce a design could allow OFFICE 52 more time to undertake the research involved than might be the case with a larger office, where a cost controller is constantly focusing on the operation.
Where Ecology Rules: Hsinta Ecological Power Plant Competition
Whether it was the establishment of a shrimp industry, general water and flood abatement, or a site for bird migration, the Hsinta Ecological Power Plant competition produced a plethora of interesting approaches to mitigate the negative effects normally associated with the introduction of a power plant. Each of the five finalists in this international, two-stage competition showed an extensive amount of research to support their design strategies and the underlying sustainability features.
Mussolini on the Spree…and More
A construction site since the end of World War II, the apex of Berlin’s construction boom has seemingly reached a final stage with two major projects, one which is almost completed (Berlin City Palace), the other still on the drawing board, but scheduled to be realized by 2020—the addition to Mies van der Rohe’s New National Gallery by Herzog de Meuron. Above is a view across the Spree River to the almost completed Palace by Italian architect, Franco Stella, the winner of the 2008 competition. At first glance we think we might be finding ourselves in the EUR district of Rome, built during during the 1930s under Mussolini: the “modern” facade is almost a replica of one of the two buildings flanking the approach to Adalberto Libera’s Palazzo Della Civitá. Of course this is only the one, “modern” side of the Palace, looking east across the Spree to a future ensemble of modern structures. The other three sides are Baroque replicas of the original, including the dome.
Addressing Affordable Housing in Bentonville
Focusing on the lack of affordable housing in the region for residents and newcomers at all levels of income, the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design at the University of Arkansas launched the Housing Northwest Arkansas initiative. Intended to be much more than a theoretical exercise, it began with an advanced design studio and a regional symposium and culminated with a design competition for five sites in neighboring Bentonville. The entire program was supported by a $250,000 grant from the Walton Family Foundation, whereby $100,000 of the grant was earmarked for prizes and compensation for the 25 firms that participated in the competition.
Adelaide Contemporary Art Museum Winner Announced
Diller Scofidio Renfro’s solid and compelling design for Adelaide’s new Museum of Contemporary Art prevailed over a strong field of five international teams. As a high-profile project, it could come as no surprise that the original RfQ drew 107 teams including over 500 firms—before the shortlisting process whittled a list of finalists down to six teams. This organization format occurred under the guidance of the professional adviser, Malcolm Reading Consultants.
