The possibility that such contests are held only to steal ideas and then award the winner to one of his own accounts can't be ruled out. Considering the winning design has no sense at all, it likely seems the case in this design. Please note this guy.

Please note that as feasibility studies are conducted some of the preferred alternate layouts may be requested for purchase at a later date.

  Hi Jim, thanks for the input. Several factors contributed to the selection but ultimately the decision was by those above me. Yours was very high on the selection.

Hello! I think it is a very good brief where one can develop a nice typological proposal. But still, I would like to be given more information about the building(s) and the site in order to consider some sustainability parametres, as part of a whole cost-effective solution. Is it to be presented only a layout or draft sections and elevations as well? Is it a problem to work in the metric system?

  Metric would be fine. Property will be located / purchased to accommodate our needs / design (after the design phase). Elevations are unnecessary. The floor plan / layout is all that is primarily required and will be judged.

  Negative. A property will be located that fits the preferred design.

Dear contest holder, do we have some site plan general dimensions? Or some maximum width, maximum length, maximum height for this building?

  - 8 years ago
  No. Please consider what you think is appropriate and cost-effective.
