The Line of Site community now embraces talented designers of all ages and from every discipline in over 100 countries. Through new features on "Line of Site" you will now be able to engage more closely with peers around the world, sharing your views on issues that drive, inspire and motivate.

Choose the brief that inspires you by reading the downloadable document and viewing any other associate material. If you have registered on the site you are ready to produce your creation. Just ensure your submission is in the gallery before the closing dates, shown below.

Read the overview of the briefs. Each brief will go live one after another. Then you can design to the brief and submit your entry. You can enter one or all the Briefs.

Brief One
06 June - 18 July 2008
Northern Lights Observatory
Witnessing the Northern Lights is an awe-inspiring experience. The sweeping green and red displays that fill the night sky leave those who see them deeply moved. To capture this experience is the challenge set by the first Line of Site brief.

One of the best places to see the northern lights is in northern Norway. Far into the Arctic Circle, the location selected is remote and inhospitable. Here we would like you to envisage a unique observatory where visitors will be able to view the full majesty of this natural phenomenon.

Brief Two
01 - 29 August 2008
City Transportation Interchange
There is no city in the world that does not suffer from road congestion and pollution. One solution to what is a growing problem is to encourage the use of sustainable modes of transport such as the bicycle.

Many view the bicycle as incompatible with the commercial needs of a city, but with the correct infrastructure this can change. This is the driver behind our second Line of Site brief. Can you design a transportation concept that can alter the perception of sustainable transport? We are challenging you to conceptualise a City Cycle Interchange where people/commuters entering your chosen city -be it by car, rail, bus- can efficiently access a bicycle to complete their onward journey...

Brief Three
26 September - 24 October 2008
The Meeting Point
There can be no more important building serving a community than its ‘meeting point’. It is the place that defines the people that use it, where they come together to socialise, integrate, exchange ideas, discuss issues and, above all, relax in the company of others.

This third and final Line of Site brief takes us in a new direction: we want you to decide where your Meeting Point is to be constructed. We would like you to propose a new building that will lie at the heart of your community, a new building that will draw people to it, be familiar - in the way that it reflects the values of the community and the directions in which it is developing - and impart sense of belonging.
