The ARCH+ Journal, in the context of the UN-Habitat III Conference, is hosting an international competition called Planetary Urbanism – Critique of the Present in the Medium of Information Design. This competition is about casting light on the current problems of the urbanization process, indicating strategies in the approach to these problems and presenting more advanced concepts of urbanization.
Presentations should look behind the facts and clarify coherences and trends and visually display spatial and temporal circumstances by tracing the forces driving their development. To master the task, all techniques of visual representation and pictorial media can be employed, but a coherent overall concept should be recognizable in the selection, transformation and presentation of the information.
Some of the possible topical groups that may be developed as main focus areas are:
- Urban Metabolism;
- Spatial Structure;
- Population;
- Social Innovation;
- Digital City;
- Real Estate Industry.
Prizes
ARCH+ will award 20,000 Euro in prize money for visualizations, developed on the basis of empirical material, of data and facts.
