Architecture in Transformation: Transformation and Reconquest - HYP CUP 2017
Международный студенческий конкурс UIA-HYP Cup проводится в шестой раз. Состязание направлено на поиск оригинальных архитектурных идей, социально ориентированных и основанных на концепции устойчивого развития. Участникам предлагается переосмыслить историю архитектуры и предложить пути ее развития с учетом потребностей современного человека. В этом году тема звучит как «Трансформация и завоевание заново».
Architecture in Transformation should respond to contemporary challenges and changes. What concerns us primarily is the relationship between architecture and environment, so as to the image of city. The competition aims at searching and constructing human space with a Spirit of Place in the increasingly fragmented cities and unordered villages, exploring environment-friendly and sustainable ideas in the information age, and integrating creative concepts with solid basic skills in architectural design. The competition requires the participants to make detailed insights and reflections on architectural history, explore complicated coordinated demands of architecture and environment, pay attention to events in specific sites, and configure viable urban and architectural spaces.
