Competition 2013

elie November 20, 2013 Competitions 0

Project ///

INTRODUCTION

Dubai is the largest city and the main port of the United Arab Emirates (before the federal capital Abu Dhabi).

Located on the Persian Gulf, is the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, and has over one million inhabitants.

The city has emerged as a cosmopolitan metropolis that has grown steadily to become a global city standing

tall as a business and cultural hub of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf region as a whole.

An Architect is a person trained and licensed to plan, design, and oversee the construction of buildings. The

educational requirements generally consist of a degree in architecture from a university where both the

process and product of planning, designing and construction will be teach.

The formal study of architecture in academic institutions played a pivotal role in the development of the

profession as a whole, serving as a focal point for advances in architectural technology and theory.

AIM OF THIS COMPETITION

The aim of this International Competition is to design an Architecture School Tower in Dubai that offers an

alternative environment for studying and training to become an Architect within this global city. This

competition hopes to achieve the following:

_Encourage and reward design excellence on a large scale which integrates function, structure, detail, etc..

_Increase research for design of “vertical” education environments or structures.

_Generate discussion and ideas about educational buildings together with the employment of sustainable

design consideration.

_Offer students an opportunity to experience the best education through the use of the most functional

pedagogical tool of which this tower will form an integral part.

COMPETITION STRUCTURE

This is a single stage Competition with the aim of identifying the most appropriate proposal, which best

satisfies the general and specific objectives of the contest.

THOSE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE

Architects, Architecture Graduated, Engineers and Students. Interdisciplinary teams are also encouraged to

enter the Competition.
