Laka is an international network (including organizations, companies and individual experts) focused on social impact via design and architecture. Through a comprehensive strategy and with a support of our Partners, we develop projects and programs that underline the crucial role of architecture and technology in the process of social change.
Description
Laka Competition is an international annual competition that seeks innovative ideas in architecture, design and technology that are capable of reacting and dynamically adjusting to the conditions of the environment (either natural, social, or built).
Three main prizes and approximately ten honorable mentions will be selected for 2018.
The subject of the competition is architectural, design, or technological solutions that are capable of dynamic interaction with their surroundings.
Participants are strongly encouraged to look for the solutions not only in the definition of the “building” itself, but foremost to present the interdisciplinary approach which takes benefits from disciplines such as robotics, mechanics, digital fabrication, biodesign and biofabrication, computational design, materials science, bioarchitecture, social sciences, industrial design, mobility.
Project’s location, scale, size, and program are left to participant’s choice.
