Further details:
Entries could be ‘examples of the resourcefulness’ showing how architects have delivered projects to a public platform in the current climate of financial constraint.
A statement from the organisers said: ‘Your ideas can be entirely new and prompted by this call, or they may be already in development; they may also be completed but under-exposed: above all they should be resourceful. Ideas can come from architects, students of architecture or multidisciplinary teams.’

This is an excellent idea. The Profession has been challenged by a number of other fledgling group's and quaisi professions in the post war period which has been demanding of the usual pick of contracts that would be available. Architects need to hone their skills evermore to remain a unique profession that can always lead in the area of architectural design. This competition should be welcomed by the Profession in generating new areas and skills for architects, a 'forward thinking' exercise.
