The Influence Charrette Competition
Состязание посвящено исследованию факторов, влияющих на принятие решений членами жюри архитектурных и дизайн-конкурсов. Организаторы стремятся выявить эти факторы и представить результаты своего исследования широкой публике, что, возможно, окажется полезным для многих при разработке конкурсных концепций.
На первом этапе состязания участников просят прислать изображение проекта, который наиболее точно характеризует их архитектурный стиль. Это может быть уже существующий проект или разработанный специально для конкурса. В голосовании за лучшие работы примут участие и члены жюри, и сами конкурсанты. На втором этапе участники и эксперты заполнят опросник о процессе голосования.
пресс-релиз:
After hosting architecture competitions and charrettes for years, we have observed a multitude of biases that juries subscribe to when it comes to core principles of architectural design and representation methods. Unlike the typical hot-button issues that drive architectural discourse like sustainability or accessibility, these biases are subconsciously implemented, yet they have equal influence on outcomes. For example, we’ve seen that regardless of style, projects that stress certain design principles like repetition and scale are more likely to win competitions. More basically, portrait-oriented images are statistically more favorable to a jury than landscape-oriented images. Perplexingly, we’ve found that gender bias occurs even when an architect’s gender is unknown to a jury. These observations are only the tip of the iceberg. With this charrette, we look to you to help expand upon our findings and formally examine and document these deep-rooted biases and the visual cues and signifiers that trigger them. We do not intend to produce a guide to winning competitions, nor do we aim to promote any specific principles; instead, we believe that a better understanding of these biases is a critical asset to any architect navigating the field.
The Proposal
Part competition and part case study, this charrette is broken into two phases. Each phase requires minimal effort from entrants, but participation in both is necessary to win any prize.
Phase 1 – The Competition: Submit the “hero” rendering from a project that most represents your personal design approach towards architecture. School projects, professional work or personal design exercises are all satisfactory. The idea in this phase is to submit a design with the least amount of client or outsider influence. This can be a new image you make for this Charrette or an existing image. There is no limit to how old this project is as long as it is yours.
There will be two separate voting sessions: one by our prestigious jury and one by the Charrette entrants. It is possible to win both the juried vote and the popular vote.
Phase 2 – The Case Study: Entrants and jury members will all take an online survey about the voting process. The survey should take 20-30 minutes. All responses will be anonymous.
Winners of Phase 1 will be announced publicly after both phases are completed. We will produce a publication with our findings from Phase 2. All entries will be highlighted in the publication. All entrants will receive a copy.
