Europan 6
Inbetween cities, Architectural Dynamics and New
Urbanity
(session 2000-2001)
Europan
6 in 10 points:
- Europan
6 is directed at young architects, and young professionals
in related fields, who are under forty years of
age, and from Europe.
- Europan
6 is a call for ideas, followed by implementation,
on the theme: "In-between cities, architectural
dynamics and new urbanity".
- Europan
is a European architectural federation of national
organisations, each of which organise and manage
an architectural competition followed by implementations
launched simultaneously on common theme and with
common objectives.
- Rules
and judging methods are identical in all the countries
taking part. The competitions are calls for ideas,
open, pubic, and European. Entries are anonymous.
Competitors can register freely in the country of
their choice.
- A
series of urban sites in European towns, accompanied
by programme brief, is proposed to competitors.
It is from these sites that competitors must choose
the one(s) on which they want to submit their project(s).
- Each
entry must have two aspects:
-a strategic reflection project that responds to
the problems the session is dealing with, in relation
to the urban challenges, and the thematic orientations
of the session, on the urban scale of the chosen
site;
-an executable architectural project whose programme
includes some housing on a clearly defined area
of the site.
- In
each country, a national jury judges the strategic
reflection projects and the architectural projects
on the sites in the country in question. On a European
level, a research committee makes a thematic and
comparative analysis of the strategic reflection
projects that have been selected by each national
jury.
- Each
of the national competitions has its own jury which
designates winners and runners-up, to whom prizes
are awarded.
- Prize-winning
teams will be helped by organisers in order that
they secure commissions that will be implemented.
- Prize-winning
proposals will be exhibited and published. Europan
6 will be the occasion for meetings organised between
the various partners, organisers, town representatives,
professionals, juries and competitors.
