A maximum of three entries per student architect or practice will be considered. Entry is FREE.

Design Brief//

The creative use of brick within an urban space is limitless. This competition draws upon your creativity, innovation and vision to explore and challenge brick’s unique design attributes by designing an ‘experiential element’ for an urban space that reflects ‘The Future of Brick’.

Definitions//

An urban area is characterized by higher population density and vast human features in comparison to areas surrounding it. Urban areas may be cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is not commonly extended to rural settlements such as villages and hamlets.

Space is the boundless, three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction.

Experiential Element refers to the object using the brick product. This may take the form of a sculpture, Brick Art™ mural, structure, furniture or any object constructed from brick.
