CompetingArchitecture.com are dedicated to promoting architectural competition.
We believe that architectural competitions provide clients with a wide variety of design solutions for their problems while allowing architects to manifest their ideas with freedom. We also seek to provide a forum for the discussion and dissemination of new and creative ideas, thereby exposing people who would not have considered hiring an architect to a verity of architectural solutions.

We would like you to design a temporary structure that can be built for under $400 and assembled with basic construction skills. The structure should be able to protect 4 adults from the elements, support itself on unknown and possibly uneven terrain, provide secure storage, and provide privacy. Please design your structures out of readily available materials; also include a plan for adaptive reuse. How can your structure turn into something that will be useful in the future as its inhabitants start to rebuild their lives? This completion is for designs only the construction and distribution of these structures are not part of the scope.

COP15 - Generative Identity Software
Generative identity software for COP15 the United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Copenhagen in 2009.
I joined long-time friends and all-time superstars shiftcontrol to help them add real-time movement to the COP15 logo designed by nr2154. Our approach was to generate the logo based on dynamic, generative patterns governed by rules like flocking and force fields. We wanted to express the complex decisions and negotiations going on at the conference.
The animation software is customizable to render out a large variety of styles and moods in formats useable for broadcast HD-TV and vector-graphics for printed media.
okdeluxe is a London-based design studio with a foundation in interaction design and the design of media experiences, services and products. okdeluxe conceptualizes, designs and executes:
- generative graphics software & visualisation tools
- user interface concepting, design and prototyping
- interactive media installations & responsive environments
- bespoke installations and products

Three Dimensional City: Future China
Three Dimensional City: Future China
With collective efforts from world's leading architects and artists, national and international experts and scholars on urban planning, city ecology and environment, decision makers from government and enterprises, "Three Dimensional City" is poised to envision an ideal living environment and future urban ecology.
The project addresses the depletion of land and energy resources.
Not only will it be an enlightening project from which our future urban planning programs can draw inspiration, but also hopes to involve an exhilarating social reformation.
For the first time in 2008, the world's urban population has exceeded that of rural.
As the pattern of urban sprawl hits its peak, urban development is facing a bottleneck, putting a strain on natural resources, and pressure on sustainability.
With attempts to curb global warming by maximizing its reduction of energy consumption and carbon emission, and efforts to reclaim land that has been invaded and occupied in the chaos of horizontally spreading cities, humanity is looking for ideal future cities of high-density residences living in harmony with nature.
"Three Dimensional City: Future China" aims to analyze the subject of how to build a dream city in an area of 1-2 square kilometers with limited material and energy resources to accommodate 100,000 - 300,000 residences.
