Yarışmalar-Competitions

Yarışma Özeti(Summary):
Landscape and architectural design are deeply interrelated disciplines in the formation of settings for humans and other life forms. Architectural choices are always landscape choices in that landscapes serve as the unwitting subtext of work. Given this condition, we ask what are the ways in which architecture involves, ignores, rejects, and /or conjoins the landscape? How do architects see and act upon it; and conversely, how does the landscape act upon us?

This special issue of the Journal of Architectural Education is designed to raise questions about architecture, landscape architecture and landscapes. For example, projects might investigate the relationships between architecture and landscape architecture to explore the cross-disciplinary border disputes, tenuous relationships, and congenial collaboration. We challenge authors to explore the philosophical and theoretical issues intertwined within these disciplines and to consider how these differences frame practice and place. And importantly, we are interested in design work on the landscape itself, how do we and/or might we think about it, address it, conserve it and make it.

Submission Requirements for Design Work
1. Seven (7) copies of a 4-page presentation of the project in 8.5" x 11" bound format. Supporting text of no more than 1000 words should clearly and succinctly explain the project, its critical intentions, and how it sheds light on the theme topic. As emphasis will be placed on graphic explanation, visual material should be selected and coordinated to best articulate the ideas pursued within a black-and-white print medium.
These 4-page presentations will be sent to jury members for advance review; they will also serve to give a sense of how the project can be articulated in finite form.

2. One portfolio of supplementary images and text in 8.5" x 11" bound format (max. 100 pages). This material will be reviewed at the Design Jury.

3. Digital file(s) of the sample layout and text (PDF file format preferred). Digital portfolio images would also be welcomed. Disk formats: CDs and 100MB Zip disks. Please do NOT email submissions.

4. A separate cover letter containing the names of the faculty member(s), students, institution, address, phone/fax numbers, and email address. No identification of designers whatsoever should appear on the 4-page presentation or the portfolio submission.

5. A printed and checked copy of the "Submission Checklist for Design Calls" to verify that all required items are included in the submission. Incomplete submissions cannot be forwarded to the reviewing committee. Download the checklist from the JAE website:  www.flashgun.com/JAE
Submissions will be blind-juried by a panel of design educators and professionals. Label the package "Design: Landscape Call" and send to: Howard Smith, JAE Managing Editor, 1400 Randall Court, Los Angeles CA 90065. For return of materials, please include self-addressed and stamped envelope. Information on the JAE review process is available at the competition website.
