These can be tempting by virtue of their imaginatively framed, ambitious briefs that encourage designers to dream up a utopian vision that solves the world’s greatest socioeconomic problems.

Daniel Libeskind beat out 164 other entries to win the commission for the<a href="http://architizer.com/projects/jewish-museum-berlin/" style="border-bottom-color: rgba(12, 183, 250, 0.498039); border-bottom-style: solid; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #292827; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: inherit;" target="_blank">Jewish Museum</a> in Berlin, largely due to his intimate knowledge of the history and profound connotations of the site.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> Some research into the organizers of the competition can also prove fruitful; you can often find out what they have previously commissioned and begin to understand their priorities in terms of design approach and programmatic needs. This results in an entry that's less like a shot in the dark and more like an informed proposal for a familiar client.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: inherit;"></span></div> <div class="img-holder img-support-add-to-collection blog-image blog-image-winning-ways-7-secrets-to-success-in-architectural-design-competitions-738737" data-globalid="media.mediaitemattribution.738737" data-imgid="738737" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative;"> <div class="addtocollection block-control js-use-pushstate" href="/login/" style="backface-visibility: hidden; background: rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.4); border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; height: 16px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0px 1px; min-width: 16px; padding: 8px; position: absolute; right: 0px; text-transform: inherit; top: 0px; transition: background 450ms ease-in-out 0ms; z-index: 4;"> <span class="control-button" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: inherit;"><svg enable-background="new 0 0 16 16" height="16px" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 16 16" width="16px" x="0px" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" y="0px"><rect fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4"></rect><rect class="plus" fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" x="6" y="6"></rect><rect class="plus" fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" x="6" y="12"></rect><rect fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" y="12"></rect><rect class="plus" fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" y="6"></rect><rect class="plus" fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" x="12" y="6"></rect><rect class="plus" fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" x="6"></rect><rect fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" x="12"></rect><rect fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" x="12" y="12"></rect></svg></span></div> <a class="js-use-pushstate" href="http://architizer.com/blog/winning-ways-7-secrets-to-success-in-architectural-design-competitions/media/738737/" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #292827; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: inherit;"><img alt="" src="https://acdn.architizer.com/thumbnails-PRODUCTION/8c/4f/8c4fbe59b8df8af9c62f70b2a110852b.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; height: auto; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; text-transform: inherit; width: 549.328px;" /></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> </div> <h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin: 16.4688px 0px -8.23438px; padding: 0px;"> 3.

This means the jury will have limited time to cast their critical eye over each presentation board, so instant impact is crucial.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> A great way to accomplish this is with a central "killer" image that will ensure your entry jumps out from the others; my personal preference is for either a) a dramatic, wide-angle CGI perspective, or b) a beautifully detailed section drawing.

padding: 0px;"> 4. Mix Up Your Medium</h4> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> In addition to the sections and CGIs described above, plans and elevations can be wonderfully effective tools to communicate your designs to clients. However, when displaying your wares for a discerning jury, consider mixing it up to capture their attention. Make a model, take some well-lit photographs, and then add further details using your software of choice; this results in images with an added element of texture and materiality that will give your presentation an unusual edge.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> Another method is to use the favorite graphic medium of a certain Mr. Bjarke Ingels: sequential diagrams. As a visual story teller, these can help reduce the necessary explanatory text, distilling the presentation to just one or two boards.</div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin: 16.4688px 0px -8.23438px; padding: 0px;"> 5. Invite Guest Critics</h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> Competition deadlines tend to be tight, and participants spend an intensive period getting to grips with their concept and wrestling with how to best present the final product. It is easy to get so close to a project that the concept is much clearer to you than it may be to the jurors, who only get one shot at deciphering it. Therefore, it can be hugely beneficial to invite a guest critic with "fresh eyes" to give their thoughts on your proposal before submission.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> Take a close look at the list of jurors—if it includes people outside the field of architecture, find someone similar to cast their eye over your designs. They will have a perspective entirely different from those within the industry, and might just give you an insight you've never previously considered.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: inherit;"></span></div> <div class="img-holder img-support-add-to-collection blog-image blog-image-winning-ways-7-secrets-to-success-in-architectural-design-competitions-738739" data-globalid="media.mediaitemattribution.738739" data-imgid="738739" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative;"> <div class="addtocollection block-control js-use-pushstate" href="/login/" style="backface-visibility: hidden; background: rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.4); border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; height: 16px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0px 1px; min-width: 16px; padding: 8px; position: absolute; right: 0px; text-transform: inherit; top: 0px; transition: background 450ms ease-in-out 0ms; z-index: 4;"> <span class="control-button" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: inherit;"><svg enable-background="new 0 0 16 16" height="16px" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 16 16" width="16px" x="0px" xml:space="preserve" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" y="0px"><rect fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4"></rect><rect class="plus" fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" x="6" y="6"></rect><rect class="plus" fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" x="6" y="12"></rect><rect fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" y="12"></rect><rect class="plus" fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" y="6"></rect><rect class="plus" fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" x="12" y="6"></rect><rect class="plus" fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" x="6"></rect><rect fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" x="12"></rect><rect fill="#FFFFFF" height="4" width="4" x="12" y="12"></rect></svg></span></div> <a class="js-use-pushstate" href="http://architizer.com/blog/winning-ways-7-secrets-to-success-in-architectural-design-competitions/media/738739/" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #292827; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: inherit;"><img alt="" src="https://acdn.architizer.com/thumbnails-PRODUCTION/1c/55/1c55aa12b4399d2ef6213b29e007d804.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; height: auto; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; text-transform: inherit; width: 549.328px;" /></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> </div> <h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin: 16.4688px 0px -8.23438px; padding: 0px;"> 6. Think Big</h4> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> Competitions are an opportunity to let loose, and jurors are frequently drawn to proposals that may appear, on first viewing, somewhat outrageous. Large public commissions often seek daring conceptual gestures, with the knowledge that later refinements will ensure the project can be grounded in reality.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> Jørn Utzon’s proposal for the Sydney Opera House is a classic example: his practice beat 232 other entrants for the job, as the jury’s imagination was captured by the joyous display of expressionism. Of course, the practicalities of the building’s construction became an infamous struggle, but Utzon’s legacy prevails. So, don’t be afraid—this is your chance to stick your neck out and go big.</div> <h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 27px; margin: 16.4688px 0px -8.23438px; padding: 0px;"> 7. Make It A Win-Win Situation</h4> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> The harsh truth is that 99% of competition entries won’t make the grade—in the eyes of the jury, at least. However, even if a proposal doesn't make the competition shortlist, its life does not have to end there! If you have followed all the steps listed above, you should now have a splendid piece of portfolio material.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> It is not uncommon for a competition concept, beautifully presented on a firm’s website, to attract interest from prospective clients. Make sure to market your "defeated" entries with as much zeal as your built projects—even though they remain on the drawing board, they act as fantastic examples of your creative ambition. It can't hurt to put a few new ideas into your client’s heads!</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> Source: <a href="http://architizer.com/blog/winning-ways-7-secrets-to-success-in-architectural-design-competitions/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://architizer.com/blog/winning-ways-7-secrets-to-success-in-architectural-design-competitions/</a></div> </p>

The minimalist white box is punctuated with large panels of glazing and a covered balcony for residents to enjoy the luscious surroundings, and timber cladding further connects the building with its context.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 21.4219px; padding: 0px;"> <img alt="1379:" src="http://angryarchi.com/assets/images/get/1379/size:large" style="margin-left: -32px; width: calc(100% + 64.5px);" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 21.4219px; padding: 0px;"> <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: inherit;">Image via <span style="color: #292827; font-family: inherit;"><span style="border-bottom-color: rgba(12, 183, 250, 0.498039); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: pointer; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; text-transform: inherit;">Designboom</span></span></em></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-family: Theinhardt-web, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 21.4219px; padding: 0px;"> The Izabelin House will go down as a stand-out example of mirrored architecture, but REFORM are by no means the first to employ such an intriguing façade treatment.

All About Eave: 8 Overhangs That Go Above and Beyond

On the other hand, a similar connection is made between interior designers and inside spaces like restaurants or hotels — interiors are associated with the atmospheric qualities of internal environments.</span></h1> <h1 class="hd" style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #292827; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 40px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <div style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> However, there are gray areas, one of them being transitional spaces: areas at the threshold marked by spatial devices that blur boundaries between the interior and exterior of buildings. Often involving continued flooring or dematerialized walls, these spatial devices conjure up uninterrupted, continuous spaces between inside and outside.</div> <div style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: content-box; color: #474645; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-top: 16.4688px; padding: 0px;"> This is synonymous with what’s known in traditional Japanese architecture as ‘nokishita,’ literally translated as spheres under the eaves. These gray areas are where the magic happens — where striking ethereal, social and visual interactions transpire. This collection is all about eaves, encompassing projects with various instances of these in-between spaces.</div> <div style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial;
