AWR Competitions organizes international contests in architecture, interior design, industrial design and urban planning.
AWR is pleased to invite designers of all disciplines (architecture, engineering, design) to take part individually or in groups. This site is aimed to encourage all designers to pursue their ideas and showcase their talent, in a multicultural and multidisciplinary environment. We believe that it is very important to continue research and test solutions on various issues of high relevance and complexity in architecture and in all other disciplines. Young designers are our greatest resource for future research, with enormous potential to express but little space to do it. AWR offers that space.

Description
Step 1 - know the themeAWRcompetition proposes the design of a new temporary church in the evocative site of Preikestolen better known as the Pulpit Rock, Norway. Design a place of worship requires a careful study of the theme. In these magnificent places, which have always inspired the minds of architects and engineers in every age, nothing is left to chance. Any material or the choice of the type of the light inside the church, are just some of the issues that should be further explored. Finally, the fact that this project must be designed in such a particular place, makes it even more exciting challenge.
step 2 - know the city and the site
The Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) is the most famous tourist attraction in Ryfylke, towers an impressive 604 metres over the Lysefjord. The plateau is approximately 25 x 25 metres, flat and you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Lysefjord and surrounding mountains. This site hosts hundreds of visitors each year, especially in the warmer months. In the winter months in fact, the weather conditions make it quite difficult and dangerous travel the roads to reach the Pulpit Rock. Often place like this, where nature tends to overwhelm the man for his beauty, people feel close to them a very strong spirituality, and it is for this reason that we chose to propose the design of a spiritual place like a church, for this so charming site.
