We want students to explore what architecture truly means and what it can achieve without any constraints. This competition encourages students to create unconventional and exceptional designs. The aim is to let your imagination run wild and design a breathtaking Visitors Center.

In this competition, we ask you to come up with a visionary concept for a Visitors center. When generating a vision for the center within a spectacular place, it is essential that each proposal emphasizes, respects and celebrates the site, while providing visitors with a unique experience. The Visitors Center aims to promote a unique experience within a remarkable landscape and provide a space for visitors to become engaged with the surroundings. The fundamental aspects of a visitors center should be incorporated into the design. Participants are free to select any site which will be best suited for their proposal. This competition has no constraints and the brief is open to interpretation.
