Hello Senem,

Thank you for getting in touch with us.

The brief is specially tailored toward architecture students. However, since this is an ideas competition and proposals don’t have to go into construction and structural details, just concept, students from other fields are also welcomed to participate. We know there are a few interior design students, as well as civil engineering students who have already joined.

That being said all participants must be students, and since you mentioned you are a recent graduate, that would make you ineligible, unless you were currently enrolled to a masters program and such program started withing 18 months of you graduating.

Please let us know if you have any further questions 😉

Understood. Those lines are parcel divisions, which can be ignored withing the context of this competition as you are free to design in any parcel that lays under the red area marked in the file.

Hello Hee,

Thank you for reaching us. I believe we are seeing different things, probably because we are using different softwares to view the file. From our side, we have now white layer. All layers are how ever named (not sure if you can see that on your side) as:

• Bauhaus Campus 2021 (these are the boundaries of the site where you should design). The site can be considered flat for the purposes of this excercise
• Iconic Buildings (these are the Bauhaus building by Gropius, the hosues for the masters of the Bauhaus and the new Bauhaus Museum by addenda architects)
• Buildings
• Streets
• Train
• Landscape
• Water
• Labels

Hope this helps. If not, maybe you can send us a screenshot of the contour line that needs clarification.

Best,
The arkitekturo team

Hello Ali,

All the working material is available before registration on the download’s page. The only additional material registered team get are the private lectures, but we provide no additional drawings or information regarding the site. This is an ideas competition for students, so teams do not have to follow any of the urban and/or construction regstrictions that might actually apply in real life.

Best,
The arkitekturo team

Hello Izabela,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your observations and suggestions. We are glad to hear you will be joining the competition with a team from different disciplines, we love to see that!

We understand the situation makes it difficult to pin up posters at many schools, it’s a shame… Unfortunately there is little we can do about it.

We are happy to take your LinkedIn publication idea, please send us the link when you publish it so that we can check it, and we’ll count it as if it was an Instagram publication. As for the instagram stories themselves, you need to publish 3 of them in order to get the discount, and if you feel publishing them on different days will be better that’s ok for us too, you know your followers better than we do 🙂

Hello Andre,

The areas suggested on the brief do include circulation and services areas.

As far as offices, libraries, etc. The concept behind the Bauhaus Campus 2021 is that it will not be a traditional school. Quoting a section of the brief “There will be no preestablished hierarchy between campus attendees. Anyone will be free to organize a group, a class or a workshop, to share their knowledge or learn together, and anyone will be free to join or attend if they have an interest in the topic.” With this in mind spaces such as offices would not be required or will be minimum (for administration purposes only). Either way, these additional spaces should not take a main role in the project. If they remain as secondary spaces you don’t need to justify them in your panel. However, if you choose to include a library and make it the centerpiece of your project, then you’ll need to justify such a decision to the jury.

Hello Ali,

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like you’ll be eligible to join the competition. You have to understand this event is tailored towards undergrad students, and you guys are on y our second masters, having completed your undergrad more than 4 years ago.

The only reason why we have the 18 months rule for master’s students is because in some countries a master is mandatory in order to graduate. Some countries have a 5-year undergrad program and others have a 4 years undergrad + 1 year master. It’s the same but divided and named differently. The 18-month rule is made for those kind of students.

We do encourage you to take the competition’s brief and use it for your thesis project if you wish to do so, and we will be happy to assist you in answering any questions you may have if you choose to do so.

Best,
The arkitekturo team
