Subject of DECODE Competition and the material to be handed in
The task of competitors is to present an own work that is built on the concept of a philosophical idea. How is a creation born? There is a given task or topic, in the case of architecture the location which is accompanied by an idea or inspiration that will build up a story. This story building up the concept will appear throughout the creative process the end result of which is a strong, unique artifact. Our task is to draw attention to the philosophical background of art and introduce that in a widely comprehensible way. Therefore the main element of the competition project is to present its concept.
