"Superstudio 2011 is an ideas competition that aims to refurbish studio culture, lay foundations for creative design solutions and assemble networks between students and the profession [architecture that is]. Superstudio is a 24hr competition with the aim to intensify the studio atmosphere to produce more innovative and collaborative outcomes" (Source)
Sounds a lot like what the Collective is trying to establish, hu? Shame it only happens once a year! Well, we're planning to make the most of it while we still can (yes, three years isn't enough)! The way it works is everyone forms teams of three (or maybe that's a maximum of three) & then given the same brief which you then have 24hrs to resolve & submit. There are many prizes to be one, including airfares to attend the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale! We'll try to find out if entry is open to only 'architecture' students or if interior architects, landscape architects, and architectural computing students are welcome to enter as well. It would be super if they are, make things a lot more interesting.
For those of you who are interested then stay tuned in the coming weeks & we'll let you know what is happening. It would definitely be nice to get at least one designer Collective team in there!
Competition entry is $35 for non-members & free for sona members (mid-year membership is $52.50 with numerous benefits as I believe). Definitely do it if you're a B of Arch Studies kid! For everyone else, stay tuned & we'll let you know if you can join in the fun.
