Infinite Labyrinth: floorplan battle. Ideas Competition. 2022
Theme and background
The “Infinite Labyrinth” is a design competition developed to explore the creative potential of architectural design through one of the most basic architectural drawings: the floor plan.
Floor plans have been used not only to explain and communicate architectural designs, but they’re often adopted as an actual design medium, to test and communicate ideas with all the involved in the project – either is the client, engineer or contractor. In architecture, a floor plan is a drawing to scale, showing a view from above, of the relationships between rooms, spaces, traffic patterns, and other physical features at one level of a structure. Floor plans can be used to show the layout of rooms within buildings, the structure and other essential spatial elements.
This competition is an opportunity to experiment how a floor plan can communicate a project today. What kind of design choices can better respond to the issues raised in the extended brief and how can a two-dimensional drawing communicate it in the most effective way?
You only have one floorplan to answer those questions.
The aim of the “Infinite Labyrinth” competition is to develop one drawing to communicate an architectural design. The participants are asked to design a building that responds to the requirements of the brief and one floorplan to represent it, with absolute freedom of interpretation, technique and level of abstraction. Even the concept of floorplan itself can be questioned in order to craft the most expressive way to represent the design.
The end result of this competition will be a publication of all finalist projects in our online journal, combined in an endless maze, that when scrolling through the page becomes an Infinite Labyrinth.
This is a competition where you develop your skills as a communicator, designer and space thinker. The aim is to respond to the presented challenge, with a very strong focus on building function, creativity, criticality and innovation.
We are not interested in the construction details, we want to see the space organization. The drawing can highlight functional aspects of the building, showing a deep understanding of one or more design aspects. It can focus on the aesthetic qualities, showing space configuration and specific projects characteristics, or it can only display structural elements and overall massing. the elements shown in the entry are flexible and adaptable to the participants interpretation.
Participants are asked to design a labyrinth - with a specific size and entrance points. All the remaining aspects of the maze are completely open to interpretation.
Labyrinths are a system of intricate passageways and blind alleys, used symbolically, as a walking meditation, site of rituals and ceremonies, and entertainment, among other things. Labyrinths have always been about the journey, at least as much as the destination. In this competition, we ask you to design the path and define the destination by playing with the concept and form of the labyrinth; infinite, like a social media scroll.
All finalist projects will be published in our online journal, combined in an endless maze, that when scrolling through the page becomes an infinite Labyrinth.
This competition is an opportunity to experiment with how a floor plan can communicate a project today. How can a two-dimensional drawing communicate it in the most effective way? What is a labyrinth today? How can we interpret its symbolism and translated it into a floorplan?
There is only one fixed parameter: the labyrinth must respect the given template.
