events. Eligibility + Criteria:
This competition is open to all. Applicants can be
established entities or groups of individuals. Winners will be selected
based on three criteria: Experience: Entrants are asked to upload
examples of their work to Architizer.com to demonstrate their design
heritage. This work need not be specifically architectural in nature,
but special consideration will be given to teams that have designed,
built and installed projects. The more examples provided the better
chance the jury will have to familiarize themselves with the applicant's
work. Proposal: Applicants
will be asked to submit at least one sketch of the space that describes
a material and design direction. Although only one sketch is required,
applicants are encouraged to submit as many sketches as necessary to
describe their vision. Proposals should include specific ideas of
clothing display and building technique (materiality and installation).
Proposals will be regarded as initial ideas to be developed in
cooperation with the fashion designer and the Building Fashion
organizers. Feasibility: Applicants
are asked to submit a preliminary budget and work plan that describes
how the project will be realized. This should include a notion of
labor, material cost, transportation (if the applicant is not from NYC),
etc. Jury and Selection: BOFFO,
Spilios Gianakopoulos and Architizer will choose three applicants based
on their creative vision, compatibility, and ability to execute the
proposed design. The final decision is up to the
fashion designer clients. ScheduleEntries are due at 11:59PM EST Sunday, June 27th.The winner for the Heather Huey Challenge will be announced June 30th, 2010.Entries will
be considered on a cumulative basis, so entrants need to only register
once, but each week another fashion designer will be announced
indicating specific design sensibilities, aesthetic, and programmatic
interests for their project. Applicants are free to resubmit new
sketches each week if they want to cater their designs to the specific
designer of the week. Entry
