Competition / PEA Window Competetion 2017 / AIA Philadelphia

For this year’s competition we’ve teamed up with the Center for Architecture and Design (CFA) to give you, the creative thinkers reading this, a chance to really express your design chops. In this design competition we are asking you to simply rethink and show what the facade of the Center should be! The Center for Architecture and Design just developed a brand new space that is open, engaging, and meaningful for those that dare to enter through the same ol’ façade. But what is THE façade of the Center for Architecture and Design? How can the façade call upon it’s founding principles? For this competition we are really looking for how YOU define the façade: how it pushes the envelope,both physically and subliminally, how it addresses the experiences of those coming into or passing by and how it engages the public both inside and out beyond a visual connection. Submission: (1) 16:9 ratio, 3000px width minimum 300 ppi Rendering of the exterior elevation of the storefront (view to match models given AFTER registration) Provide a narrative on your interpretation of the current storefront and how the Center for Architecture and Design provides for the design community and the citizens of Philadelphia at large. 250-500 words OPTIONAL: 24 in. x36 in. PDF supplemental imagery/board to further understand your concept, file size limited to 10MB. For more information and registration: bit.ly/2eDCDtM
