The HOME Competition 2021

Registration Deadline: Jan 7, 2022; Submission Deadline: Jan 7, 2022 Visit the official HOME 2021 website at www.thehomecompetition.comHow do we define “home”? Although our ideas about home are constantly being rethought, the careful examination of “home” has recently come to the attention of architects and nonarchitects alike. In recent times, almost everyone has had to confront their perspective of “home” as these spaces have evolved to incorporate so many aspects of our daily lives. The HOME competition invites all designers to explore ideas of domestic architecture for the future. Designers may consider the impacts of global population shifts, proximity of major cities to coastlines, new materials and building techniques, as well as the rise of co-housing, tiny homes, smart houses and marketplaces like Airbnb. HOME creates a platform to speculate the ways new technological, political, environmental and cultural changes can redefine the spaces where we live. What do you believe will be the future of home?AWARDSOverall Winner: $5,000Pragmatic Award: $1,000Innovation Award: $1,000Adaptability Award: $1,000Total Awards $8,000GUIDELINESSubmissions may propose a single-family home, a multifamily building, an adaptable structure, a temporary living experience, or a home that takes the shape of any model or scale. All submissions should clearly define how a resident or residents interact with the proposed living space through graphic representation, text summary, or both. Designers may propose any geographical location for their home design but should consider the relationship between their proposal and its site, taking into account the inherent benefits, drawbacks, and unique characteristics. Additionally, designers can propose homes with no defined site. Submission Materials: (4) 12″ x 12″ (30.48cm x 30.48cm) graphic representations and (1) 12" x 12" project text summary (under 200 words) submitted as a combined PDF document. Graphic representation boards may not include text other than number labels (ex. ① ② ③). Graphic boards will be reviewed by jury members alongside their respective text summaries, where number labels may be defined. Upon competition results, all recognized proposals will appear with the text summary directly beneath graphic representations.JURYIvan Bernal - Director of Architecture Programs | Kent State CAEDFernanda Canales - Founder | Fernanda Canales ArchitectureMichael Chen - Principal  |  Michael K.
