Call for projects organizer
Archasm is an online international architectural competition website and a blog that organises open-idea competitions in the fields of architecture and design. We welcome professionals and students from around the world and all spheres and ranks of education (architecture, design, art, engineering etc.) to showcase their creativity and compete among the brightest and the most creative minds on Earth.
Description
Japan has been a place of fascination throughout the years, particularly to those interested in media and popular culture, business, science and technology, and other related areas such as transport and tourism.The aim of the competition is to create an iconic 21st century "public library" in the city of Tokyo and debate its role in a "digital age". The proposal must aim to become a solution to the frequently questioned vitality of a library by enhancing and transforming its capabilities as a "knowledge sharing and research prototype" that will become a model for the future libraries of the world.
The digital revolution stands out from its predecessors in a critical way: rather than making it easier for humans to use their surroundings more effectively for their own benefit, technology is displacing humans in the workplace. has the power to both reform the age-old education setup and even to destroy the ethics of the prevalent system? But its impact on the human institutions and functionalities can never be ignored.
Tokyo is a megapolis that is taking gigantic steps to become the city of the future. The library should become an icon and an important landmark for the city where people could converge and exchange knowledge. The impact of the library should be prolific, intense and symbolic that should reflect the contemporary nature of the city.
Winners and honorable mentions will be published on archasm’s website and several international architecture magazines and websites partners.
