Yarışma Bilgileri

The City of Espoo organises an ideas competition for developing the City Hall and city centre blocks of Espoo. The ideas competition will provide guidelines for a gradual reformation of the Espoo office centre area. The areas with municipal office blocks and around the railway station mostly date from the 1970's, and are now in need of major renovation. The assignment is to decide on the principle of reforming the City Hall - to build a new one or to renovate the existing one - and how to develop the area around the City Hall into a more dynamic and inviting urban centre. This ideas competition is organised to celebrate the 550th anniversary of the City of Espoo and start off the reformation of its city centre blocks.
Through this competition, the character of the area will be fundamentally changed. Based on this competition, the authors of the three winning entries will be called to a further, invited competition.

Eligibility
The competition is open to all citizens of countries in the European Union or countries covered by EU procurement legislation, in accordance with current agreements and legislation. Competitors are encouraged to form multidisciplinary teams of experts in order to illustrate the demanding assignment from various aspects. Entrants or at least one member in an entering team must be qualified to work as an architect in their own country.
