Architecture in Transformation: Unexpected City – HYP CUP 2014 International Student Competition in Architectural Design.
HYP Cup 2014 – конкурс, который не ставит практически никаких границ: месторасположение участка и типологию проектируемого здания или пространства участник выберет для себя сам.
Организаторы только задают абстрактную тему, на которую и предстоит поразмышлять конкурсантам. В этом году тема звучит как «неожиданный город». Это новое понятие Даниэль Либескинд, председатель жюри конкурса, поясняет так: «город чудес, город, где воображение, творчество и новаторство смело раздвинули привычные границы реальности».
We know the digital city, the sustainable city, and the smart city. But city in transition is also about the unexpected city, like the unexpected creative city, the unexpected social city, the unexpected public space that a city can have, the unexpected city of art, the unexpected social and cultural encounters that a city can give us. So I think the "Unexpected City" is also the city in transition and the city of future. It's about everything which is not what I expected. It's about everything which is not on the agenda but will become our agenda because of the creative process.
