PG Bison 1.618 Competition 2014


3rd Year Architecture students in South Africa have been tasked to redesign the modern extension at the Johannesburg Art Museum.  The brief was developed by PG Bison who for the last twenty years have organised this exciting competition.

The students may either use the existing structure as a shell and redesign the interior layout, or design an entirely new space on the site.  They are to work within a modest budget which may be a challenge!

AND….there is a very good reason the enter this competition; the prizes!

1st Prize:

A trip for the winning student, accompanied by the student’s lecturer, to the 2015 FURNITURE FAIR in Milan, Italy. It includes return air tickets, accommodation, entry to the fair, a digital camera and a contribution to daily expenses. The winner will also receive a ticket to attend the 2015 Design Indaba Simulcast.

2nd Prize:

An all-expenses-paid trip for the winning student to the 2015 DESIGN INDABA in Cape Town. It includes a return air ticket, accommodation, car hire, entry to the conference and expo, and a contribution to daily expenses.

3rd Prize:

A R10 000 cash prize and a ticket to attend the 2015 Design Indaba Simulcast.

The remaining seven Top Ten Finalists will each receive a R2000 cash prize and a ticket to attend the 2015 Design Indaba Simulcast.
 
The hand in date is 7 August 2014, hopefully we will have some amazing designs by then!
