24H competition

 

“I was thrilled about the 6th edition’s Memories theme. I enjoyed looking through each proposal’s interpretation on how to preserve and represent our constantly evolving built and natural environments. Some proposals conveyed the future consequences of ignoring present-day situations, while also acknowledging the physical limitations that humans have with the forces of nature. Others showcased our current daily lives through imaginative and detailed ways that were impressive for a 24-hour competition.

Although every proposal was different, it was interesting to see common ideas emerge. The proposals are a small yet solid overview of the cultural symbols, environmental issues, technology, and the emotions that gradually became part of our collective consciousness at this point in time. From that, they indicate a strong interest in continuing the global discussion of how our lifestyles now will affect the next millennium.” Justine Testado

 

“memories could bring us major proposals with a  great interest and made us all think about the past, present and future” António Labrincha

 

“Well-organized competition, with a very appealing format”. Augusto Marcelino

 

“Interesting exercise to explore the different ideas and forms to answer a very subjective question. The proposers had the opportunity to study themes as time, evolution, memories, facts, and establish a priority to the project. The proposals were in general very interesting”. Atelier do Cardoso

 

1st place - ID000360 Team: Deborah Feldman, Ana Miscu, City: Bucharest, Country: Romania

“This aptly titled proposal stands out with its elegant, thematically cohesive approach. Through the universal pastime of stargazing, it invigorates the senses by instilling invaluable curiosity. The proposal poetically alludes to “cherishing the moment” as described in the competition brief as well as the familiar notion of making the best of each day -- and night -- of the present. It also creatively expresses the integration of basic natural elements and forces (air, water, light, gravity) working harmoniously with an ancient device invented by humans.” Justine Testado

 

“Great proposal  and highly effective in result”.António Labrincha

 

“Future and past “captured” on an intriguing and timeless way, although sequence of events could be difficult to predict. Poetic, elegante approach to memory and what a museum / time capsule could be”. Augusto Marcelino

 

“A poetic way to explain the evolution of the earth and the universe, through the interpretation of memory while constellation. Through the uncertainty of how the technology will be in the year 3000 the project uses the first measuring instrument of time created by the humankind, guaranteed its functioning through its simplicity”. Atelier do Cardoso

 

 

2nd place -  ID0001150 Team: Simon Oudiette, City: Strasbourg, Country: France

“The proposal’s method of showcasing a collection of capsule containers is aesthetically captivating, while also critical about our cultural worship of consumerism and its dire contributions to ongoing environmental and societal issues. Although this narrative’s dystopic slant was common among other entries, its “plot twist” on the inevitability of human oversight – despite the presence of good intentions -- in an architectural context makes it an overall compelling proposal that challenges the competition’s theme of Memory.” Justine Testado

 

“The space created by this proposal bring us the sense of memorie in poetic way”. António Labrincha

 

“Interesting thought of time, abandonment and future knowledge. The irony of predictability and presumption”. Augusto Marcelino

 

“A story told in direct speech that you can have the perception of the design intention that ends with the force of nature to overcome the memories, leaving only a ruin to study.

A strong image which are present all the elements, time, nature, man and memories in the form of container”. Atelier do Cardoso

 

3rd place - ID000760 Team: Joanna Orlowska, Adrianna Gilert, City: Berlin, Country: Germany

“The strongest aspect of this entry is how organic its design concept is, letting time and nature itself run its course to eventually reveal the museum structure within. The proposal is nicely balanced with a sense of realism to the idea of freedom with the structure’s physical barrier. The proposal is seemingly effortless and straightforward yet distinctive, proving that simple concepts truly go a long way.” Justine Testado

 

“Very creative project, a sensory space, strong in concept, a tectonic proposal that bring us to oniric space”. António Labrincha

 

“Careful consideration on the interaction between man and museum. Appealing location and promenade with a dichotomy of freedom and “social contract”, clear metal / rough nature, leading to an introspective yet timeless perception of mankind”. Augusto Marcelino

 

“A strong idea represented in a very subtle way that represents the memory while relationship between time and nature. Still exploring the concept of freedom through controlled limits. A proposal for a simple but impressive and progressive geometry”. Atelier do Cardoso
