COMMENTARY:

It is the organiser's intention that participants are free to make the decision on the ratio, size, allocation and design layout of the Arcology Skyscraper proposed. Participants are free to distribute the required spaces within the Arcology according to their design to allow their ideas to shine through. This is only an ideas competition to investigate and challenge skyscraper design within a specific site context.

 

However exciting and challenging the creative opportunity presented with such loose parameters, it is important that proposals include the specified spaces in the brief. Participants are free to added other spaces to the program according to their vision for an Arcology skyscraper with today's architecture practice and social expectations or that of the future.
