Архитекторам предлагается разработать проекты, которые объединяют историческое наследие с современными инновациями и технологиями, используя Таиланд в качестве пространства для экспериментов.
Тема конкурса 2025 года звучит как «ностальгия по будущему». Цель – создать пространства, которые не только эстетически привлекательны, но и имеют глубокую связь с культурой, обществом и природой.
Участники могут выбрать любой реальный участок для своего проекта. Масштаб и тип проекта могут варьироваться от архитектурного сооружения до градостроительного плана, интерьера или объекта ландшафтной архитектуры.
Future nostalgia refers to a compelling architectural design concept that draws inspiration from the past and seamlessly blends it with modern innovations and technologies. The objective transcends creating merely aesthetically pleasing spaces; it aims to infuse them with profound meaning— interweaving culture, society, and nature across both present and future contexts. This approach aspires to preserve and evolve historical knowledge and values that enrich our way of life, all while accommodating the shifting needs of future generations. In today's architectural landscape, there's a pronounced emphasis on looking ahead-designing cutting-edge, comfortable buildings that heavily rely on the latest technologies and contemporary insights.
While this forward-thinking stance offers undeniable benefits, it often overlooks the wisdom and heritage of the past. The consequence can be designs that lack a meaningful connection to their original roots. Therefore, the design competition "Futurism: Future Nostalgia in Architecture" serves as an invitation for architects to use the concept's definition to explore creative approaches and develop designs that link the past-in facets ranging from society, culture, and people to nature, place, and time-through the prism of modern knowledge, tools, and technologies. Participants are encouraged to venture without limitations on location or scale, using Thailand as a case study. The aim is to forge new forms of futurist architecture that honor and reflect upon the past through today's lens, guiding us toward a shared architectural future.
