How to submit your entry?

To win a place at the winter school requires you to simply film a 60-second architectural critique of one of the following buildings: -

 

1. The Burj Khalifa;

2. BedZed;

3. The Chrysler Building;

4. Ronchamp.

 

Videos must present a cogent, critical argument­ - �for� or �against� - one of the above. 

 

Your critique should show an understanding of architecture and design, but this project also seeks awareness of the intellectual basis for architecture and design and you are encouraged to interrogate the buildings in relation to social issues, political perspectives and intellectual nuances.

 

You should note that the judges will be looking for intelligent arguing and case making over and above formal technical excellence
