Конкурс архитектурных сказок Fairy Tales проводится уже в седьмой раз. Задача участников – написать волшебную историю, в основу которой ляжет архитектурный или дизайн-проект. Свой рассказ необходимо проиллюстрировать 5 изображениями. Авторов лучших работ ждет не только денежный приз, но и публикации на страницах международных архитектурных интернет-изданий.
Fairy Tales is an open, international, ideas competition that challenges creatives from all professional realms to develop visionary, narrative-based design proposals.
Architecture competitions are the lifeblood of the profession, but they haven’t changed that much in the past 100 years. Architects are still designing single building typologies like skyscrapers, museums, and houses ad infinitum. By retreating into itself, architecture has lost its ability to send universal messages, to represent culture in its time, and to address issues that are at the core of human existence. That is why Blank Space, an online platform for architecture, is launching the world’s first architecture storytelling competition: “Fairy Tales.”
Fairy Tales challenges participants to develop visionary proposals that take fun seriously and are audacious enough to ignite imaginations. The proposals will combine text-based architectural fairy tales with innovative graphic representations, and in doing so, seek to unlock the power of architecture by improving the way that it is shared, digested, and communicated.
