This urban design competition has been arranged by Klaksvík Town Municipality located in the northern part of the Faroe Islands. This brief is the basis of the urban design competition for the town center in Klaksvík and the competition outline is arranged by Klaksvík Municipality in cooperation with Selmar Nielsen Arkitektur and the competition conditions of Arkitektafelag Føroyar. The competition is open to all. Proposals are due by 27th April 2012 at the latest.
Over the last 200 years, Klaksvík has grown from five settlements of a mere 100 people to a modern town of 5000 inhabitants. The large and swift population growth was triggered by the growing fishing industry, which led to the development of the areas along the shore for industrial purposes. The central part of town is virtually undeveloped and with a recent landfill in the center area, where the shore used to be, you are now invited to enter the contest for providing Klaksvík with a masterplan for a new town center.
This contest was initiated so that Klaksvík may take advantage of the untapped resources that lie in the town’s center. The ideas generated by this contest are to be used for the creation and arrangement of Klaksvík’s town center, which will be comprised by new residential and commercial areas, offices, public institutions, and leisure areas; as well as all the services that citizens can expect from a town center. The winning entry will be used as the basis for new building regulations and for inspiration for new construction work in Klaksvík’s center.

Competition: writing about architecture
The Henning Larsen Foundation is launching an international competition on writing about architecture – the third in a row of architecture competitions. The first was about “photographing architecture”, the second about “drawing architecture” and the third – “Time and Space” – focuses on “writing about architecture”.
Photos, drawings and texts challenge architecture. They can be a branch of art or a piece of architecture in themselves, or they can communicate an idea or a dream. The dream is the focus of attention in this competition. An old, blurred photo, a sketch or a piece of writing can sometimes evoke thoughts and images stronger and more fascinating than those found in today’s architecture projects. Texts have the ability to evoke images inside us. The hope of the competition is that an essay, a poem, a fairytale or another kind of text will provide inspiration for architecture that creates dreams about time and space that could be.
Competition entries can be submitted in either Danish or English. The entries will be evaluated on the basis on their description of space and spatiality and whether they offer something new to the genre – writing about architecture. Previously published texts and texts about architecture created by Henning Larsen Architects are not accepted for evaluation.
Competition entries should be submitted in a closed enveloped marked ”Time & Space” to Henning Larsen Architects, Vesterbrogade 76, 1620 København V. Deadline for submission is 12 March 2012. The winners will be announced on 20 August 2012 – with a first prize of €10.000, a second prize of €5.000 and two third prizes of each €2.000.
The judging committee consists of Professor, architect Henning Larsen; CEO, architect Kent Martinussen; Chief Editor, architect Martin Keiding; architecture writer, historian of ideas Christian Bundegaard and architect Troels Troelsen.
2012 LAGI international design competition
In partnership with New York City's Department of Parks & Recreation, the 2012 Land Art Generator Initiative design competition is being held for a site within Freshkills Park (the former Fresh Kills Landfill) in New York City. LAGI 2012 is an ideas competition to design a site-specific public artwork that, in addition to its conceptual beauty, has the ability to harness energy cleanly from nature and convert it to electricity for the utility grid.
The expansiveness of the design site at Freshkills Park presents the opportunity to power the equivalent of thousands of homes with the artwork. The stunning beauty of the reclaimed landscape and the dramatic backdrop of the Manhattan skyline will provide an opportune setting from which to be inspired, and it offers the perfect environment for a showcase example of the immense potential of aesthetically interesting renewable energy installations for sustainable urban planning.
The monetary prize award will not guarantee a commission for construction; however, LAGI will work with stakeholders both locally (NYC) and internationally to pursue possibilities for implementation of the most pragmatic and aesthetic LAGI designs.
Architecture Pavilion Competition
Competition is in the international category. It is open to architects and students of architecture. The subject of this competition is the preliminary design of the Architecture Pavilion. The Architecture Pavilion should represent a “universal, timeless and spaceless building”. Good example of similar project is Mies van der Rohe’s pavilion for the Exhibition in Barcelona. The location is envisaged as a flat and open public space, accessible from all sides with the free surrounding space for viewing the object.
Pruitt Igoe Now Ideas Competition
March 2012 will mark the 40th anniversary of the demolition of the first of the Pruitt-Igoe high-rises designed by architects Helmuth, Yamasaki and Leinweber. For forty years, the site of this complex has been largely untouched. As countless other social housing projects across the country are torn down and rebuilt in the idiom of new urbanism, the question remains: what is Pruitt-Igoe now? The subject is this competition the 57-acre site of the long-mythologized Pruitt and Igoe housing projects -- a site whose future is intertwined with emerging ideas about urban abandonment, the legacy of modernism, brownfield redevelopment and land use strategies for shrinking cities. This competition seeks the ideas of the creative community worldwide: we invite individuals and teams of professional, academic, and student architects, landscape architects, urban planners, designers, writers, historians, and artists of every discipline to re-imagine the site and the relationship between those acres and the rest of the city.

Competition purpose and goal: to obtain a quality urban design concept that meets all the functional and economic criteria required to create a new and modern segment of the city centre, while both adding value to the wider urban area and providing a reminder of the historical development of the site. The site area should become a new factor in the definition of identity
of this part of the city as well as the central point for the most relevant activities in the fields of business, tourism, hospitality, culture and art, while remaining a location providing quality everyday life environment for its inhabitants both today and tomorrow.
The competition is open to all professionals, who hold a master's degree in architecture or have completed a five-year course of study and are graduate engineers in the field of architecture and urban planning.
