A pályázatnak neve már van: [un]restricted access vagyis korlátlan hozzáférés, de most egy nagy adag grafikai kreativitásra volna szükség, hogy a dolog lényege a logóban is megfelelőképpen tükröződjön. szóval, kérlek villantsd meg a tehetséged, és csatlakozz a küldetésünkhöz! ez itt a link, a pályázatokat pedig augusztus 26-ig várjuk. aztán ki tudja, még a végén a tiéd lesz egy menő éjjellátó szemüveg, jah, és persze 500 dolcsi.

CREATE THE GRAPHIC IDENTITY FOR THE 2011 OPEN ARCHITECTURE CHALLENGE: [UN]RESTRICTED ACCESS

WE NEED YOU

Every other year, Architecture for Humanity’s Open Architecture Challenge (OAC) brings international attention to issues in the built environment affecting the health, prosperity and well-being of under-served communities. The upcoming 2011 Open Architecture Challenge: [un]restricted access: from military space to civic space asks designers to develop imaginative and revolutionary ideas for re-purposing abandoned, closed or decommissioned military sites and structures around the world.

Base closures can have an adverse affect on the surrounding community. In Albania, more than 750,000 bunkers pepper the landscape — a constant reminder of its isolated past. In the U.S. alone, nearly 12 million square feet of leased military space will be vacated resulting in the loss of an estimated 18,000 civilian jobs in the latest round of closures.
