The Faculty of Architecture, University of Trieste, hereinafter referred to as "Organising Authority", announces an International Ideas Competition. The aim is to encourage architectural and urban design solutions linked to the proposal of Trieste as the candidate city for a world exhibition which should take place between 2006 and 2010.

This competition does not have a professional character but aims at stimulating proposals from architecture and construction engineering students or recent university graduates, grouped in national and international teams as well. The design of new permanent or ephemeral architectures and the respectful reuse of some historic buildings in the Old Port will be able to accommodate specific functions concerning the exhibition activities.

The exhibition functions that are housed in permanent architectures will then, once the Expo is over, be replaced by office, cultural, public and private functions located in a strategic and central urban area. Project proposals will upgrade an area in the heart of the city and will have to be conceived in a unitary urban design. Additional activities can also be planned in the industrial area as shown in the attached cartography, where large organised spaces and architectures for meetings and large gatherings can be designed.

The Old Port section, not included in the competition area, will house other offices, hotels, services and cultural activities. TriestExpo is not only complement but also compatible with what will be designed for the renovation of the historic Port area, "Porto Vecchio". The competition area includes 5 listed buildings which need to be restored; their descriptions are included in the documentation.

However, it must be noticed that the historic and architectural value of the old industrial port settlement, which is the reason for its listing, calls for special attention to be drawn to the entire complex and its values, as well as to an appropriate restoration and conversion of each building.

Individual participants or teams may only make one submission, and individuals may only participate in one submission otherwise both groups will be excluded.

Registration procedures

Eligibility
The competition is open only to students of architecture and construction engineering.
The following students shall not be eligible to enter the competition:

Question Period
Any request for further information of a technical nature shall be addressed in writing to the attention of the Competition's Secretariat (2.2) and sent by e-mail by 20 May 2002. A synthesis of the most relevant questions and associated replies will be posted on the Competition's web site

Submission of designs
The projects have to be delivered to the Secretariat of the Competition by 31 May 2002. In those cases in which delivery of projects is assigned to a carrier (State Postal Service or authorised courier), they must be sent off by midnight of the same day and they must be received within the following fifteen days. Any delay is considered valid reason for exclusion. The presentation of the projects is to be made anonymously. Any indication of the identity of the competitor must be omitted. Should the postal service require the indication of the sender, the indication must be that of the University to which the competitor or head of the group belongs or that of the Organising Authority. The Organising Authority is not responsible to the competitors in case of loss of the parcel.

The projects
The projects must be on 3 size A1 horizontal tables (also divided into two A2) and one bound album size A3, composed of a maximum of twelve single sided pages plus the cover.
Both the tables and the cover of the album must have, at the top right corner, a motto composed of one word and three Arabic numbers.
The submission shall include the following: General report, environmental collocation study, general plan and graphic schemes.
The text may be in Italian or English. The projects must utilise the decimal metric system as the system of measurement and contain a metric graphic reference in order to enable publication in reduced formats.
The 3 tables, in black-and-white or colour, mounted on light rigid panels, shall contain:

- a general plan of the area with the representation of the project and its insertion into the urban context
- plans, sections and elevations of the project;
- axonometry, perspectives, photomontage and any other representation suitable for the purpose of illustrating the project.

The black-and-white or coloured album must contain:

- a report, eventually illustrated with pictures and graphic works, with the guiding criteria for the choice of the project, the technical characteristics of the materials to be employed, insertion into the urban context;
- a reduced scale reproduction of the 3 tables of the project.

The same motto which appears on the three tables and on the cover of the album must be reproduced on the outside of an opaque sealed envelope, which is to contain the particulars of the individual designer or design team. The envelope must contain:
- an underwritten declaration from each competitor (student of architecture or engineering) of regular enrolment at a University or a certificate of graduation received in the years 2001 or 2002.
- an underwritten declaration from each competitor stating that he will respect the conditions set out in paragraph 2.5 (Eligibility) and in the case they are bound by contract to institutions or public administrations, they must attach a letter of authorisation;
- designation of the team leader underwritten by all members of the group, including eventual consultants and/or collaborators;
- authorisation to exhibit the project, to cite the names of the designers and eventual consultants and collaborators, lack of said authorisation does not constitute a valid motive for exclusion from the competition.

The design team composition can be modified from that indicated when entering the competition but the team leader - sole interlocutor of the Organising Authority - has to be the same. Authorship of the project is, given equal qualifications and rights, in any case recognised to all members of the group.

Jury
The jury is composed of three members of which two are Italian and one is foreign. The Secretary of the competition takes part in the meeting of the Jury without right of vote. The Jury will conclude its works within 45 days from the delivery date of the projects.

Conclusions of the competition
The Jury will examine the architectural quality of the projects, the insertion in the urban and environmental context, the feasibility and efficiency by which the idea is expressed.
The Jury, after having prepared a conclusive report containing the evaluation of each project, will announce the first three classified, the special prize and the five honourable mentions. The Jury will then open the sealed envelopes and proclaim the names of the winners.

Results of the Competition
The names of the winners, available to all competitors, will be posted on the web page.

I concorrenti potranno presentare anche un solo progetto per un nuovo edificio o un solo progetto di restauro.
