2021 UIA-HYP CUP INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COMPETITION LAUNCHED

Data końca rejestracji: 20/09/2021

Termin składania prac: 10/10/2021

Miasto: konkurs międzynarodowy

The UIA-HYP Cup, today in its 9th edition, is the only student architecture competition in mainland China. The UIA has endorsed the competition since its conception in 2012. The subject of the competition, organised annually by the School of Architecture at Tianjin University and Urban Environment Design (UED) Magazine, is Architecture in Transformation, a theme which explores the tensions between architecture and the city as well as between architecture and nature in an increasingly interconnected contemporary world.

Each edition of the prize is chaired by an internationally renowned architect, who selects its specific focus. This year Rem Koolhaas, from the Netherlands, has selected the topic "Countryside Dilemmas: New Rural Planning". Using the destructive fire in the ancient Chinese village of Wongding as a catalyst, Rem Koolhaas asks students think deeply about rural development, its benefits and costs, which are thrown into high relief by the larger global challenges of preservation and growing migration crises. Planning the countryside has never been more important for a shared future, and requires exploration of fundamental dilemmas that go beyond replacing the village's thatched roof tops and intricate wood constructions.

Students are asked to submit projects (a movie no longer than 2:00 minutes and three A1 boards) proposing new experimental planning formats and proposals for rural environments, not only in China, but across the world. The plans should show engagement with and involvement of local communities with a social, economic and cultural component, making use of new (digital) infrastructures in a novel way and considering economic and ecological sustainability.

JURY

The international jury will soon be announced. Rem Koolhaas (The Netherlands) is the jury chairman and Cui Kai (China) will be the UIA Representative.
