Architectural City is a competition directory that showcases the winning architectural competition entries and the impact of the competition design phase. How long will the building process take? Did the winning architects generate
the design development and construction drawings or was a local architect involved? Who were the contractors, construction team, or fabricators? Was the winning project built elsewhere around the globe?
With such advancements of technology available for emerging architects, We at Architectural City believe that architecture building and city competitions will become the mass produced element for the professional selection process. Project bidding wars
are nothing new for general contractors and construction teams. Why not the same for architects? The amount of architecture competitions are increasing yearly. More and more clients approach the architecture design process for large-scale buildings or urban developments as a call for entries among
a group of selected architect candidates. The world of the starchitect is dying and being replaced with highly competitive arenas for design projects that can easily catalyze an unknown architect into the recognized world and architecture stratosphere.
What differentiates this resource from other architecture competition sites? The Architectural City directory is not an announcement of current competitions but a mapping source of winning architecture
competition entries.
Only winning competition entries will be posted and mapped on this site.
Because of our collaboration with an architecture history instructor, Architectural City also features an archival search for winning competition entries prior to the 1950s in various locations around the world. Architectural City is intended to be a scholastic resource
and search tool for architects, designers, students, and enthusiasts alike. Architectural City. The Future of Architecture. Urban Investigations. City Research. Do architecture competitions work?
