Redefining Briefs, Clients and Agents. by Storefront for Art and Architecture for the AAAI!
Throughout history, competitions have constructed a relationship of servitude between architects and the structures of economic, politic and cultural power.
The competition brief has served as the initial document for the manifestation of desires either through programmatic, economic or formal needs. Often, the role of the architect has been reduced to answer a question that someone else has asked. In exceptional occasions, the architect’s ability to reinvent and produce new desires has occurred in the form of rebellion against the brief. In an act of bravura, architects have broken the rules, driven by the pure belief that the real needs were contained outside of the given principles
The intention of “The Competition of Competitions” is to provide and deliver new and relevant forms of engagement and content to the economic, politic and social systems that currently act as the voice of authority for the development of our cities. “Competition of Competitions” asks architects, artists, economists, philosophers, writers, and citizens at large to create interdisciplinary teams to formulate the questions of our time and define the agents that should pursue the task to ask and commission the visions for the future in the form of a competition brief.
We encourage participants to rethink the format, content and agent/s that constitute the basis for the way competitions and commissions are organized.
First Prize 2,000 USD
Second Prize 1,000 USD
Third Prize 500 USD

2.5 Design Days in Prague
This is an open call for a competition and design workshop for architects, artists, engineers and related disciplines to imagine the future mobile event pavilion.
reSITE aims to expand our activities at the intersection of urban communication and policymaking that can be transferable and applicable to other Central and Eastern European cities. In order to make reSITE festival content fresh - a collaborative dialogue between policy leaders, designers, communities and financier/developers - and more accessible, the reSITE pavilion should be a stage where ideas about more transparent urban planning, inefficiency of post-communist urban planning attitudes and public space will be discussed and where cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary action takes place.
We propose to create a mobile pavilion that will host future conferences and become a branding device for collaborative urban practices. We intend to host conferences, discussions, films and performances about public space in public space. The festival pavilion needs to be conceptualized to match our mission

72 Hour Urban Action
72 Hour Urban Action - the world's first real-time architecture competition - is coming to Derry-Londonderry in July 2013 and we invite you to apply to be part of the action. You can apply individually, or as part of a group and applications are open until 27th May 2013. The competition itself will take place 25-28 July in Derry.
Over the course of three days and three nights, ten teams will design and build interventions on ten unloved sites in public space, responding to local needs. Participants will have an extreme deadline, a tight budget and limited space to leave a lasting impact on the city's urban fabric. They will be battling the clock, the restrictive conditions and each other to dream and realize projects in response to the spatial and social challenges the sites and missions offer.
Each team will be made up of 10-12 people. 72 Hour Urban Action will put together these complementary teams from the groups and individuals who apply. We are looking for local Derry-Londonderry residents, as well as architects, designers, artists, craftspeople, students and generally nice people from around the world. Teams will come to Derry~Londonderry armed with a passion for action, and ready to give their time and expertise to help with community needs.
Participating teams will receive a budget for materials, a central prefabrication camp, and a team of 'Angels' (construction and safety engineers). The missions and sites will be assigned randomly on take off day. The competition will be judged by an international jury including prominent leaders, architects and curators.

San Francisco Fire Department Headquarters
San Francisco today has one of the most prestigious and well equipped fire departments of the United States and the world. Every day it responds to dozens of calls and acts quickly in all its interventions to prevent the catastrophe from happening again.
This elite group ensures the safety of the city and more than 800,000 of its residents through 51 different stations scattered throughout the city to ensure quick arrival at any place where an incident may occur.
However, the department misses a central station from where one can coordinate all operations and act on those operations which require special equipment that are not available at every station, such as helicopters, boats, hydraulic presses for release victims of traffic accidents, etc.
ARCHmedium proposes the creation of this fire station for the city of San Francisco that serves not only to centralize and improve the service but also as a gift and token of appreciation from the city to this department.
The new center should not only be a practical space designed to respond to the needs of firefighters, but must become an icon of the city which rose from the ashes and a reminder of the tragedy, a building that not only the people of San Francisco but the entire world associates with the image of the fire department.
