Call for Entries

The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation will be presenting the International Bauhaus Award for the second time on October 26th 2002. Prizes will be awarded for exemplary projects dealing with the effect that information and communication technology - ICT - (mobile telecommunications and the Internet) has on urban space and the urban public. The International Bauhaus Award is aimed at young designers, academics and groups in the categories of architecture and urban design, art and design, and academic and theoretical work. The closing date for entries is Monday, September 2nd 2002.

Subject matter

TeleCity: How does information and communication technology (ICT) change urban spaces? Projects are being sought for the International Bauhaus Award which deal with the interfaces between people and technology - human/ICT interfaces - or with space and technology in an urban context. Leaving aside futurological hype and apocalyptic phobias, the projects should focus on the complex interweaving of real worlds and virtual worlds and the impact they have on urban space and urban public life. Irrespective of whether the entry concerns a built project, an architectural design or urban design, a performance, artwork, academic research, a study, concept or essay, the most important thing is that it should focus on changes in urban structures caused by ICT.
