Fernbrook Homes and Cityzen Development Group are pleased to sponsor a limited architectural design competition for the fourth phase of ABSOLUTE in Mississauga, Canada. With several buildings of the Absolute Residential Community already under construction, we are committed to the construction of a 50 story building or taller, in the fourth phase of the development within a short time frame and we want an architect with a fresh, creative and innovative vision at the helm.
Phase 1 – A Design Ideas Competition – to encourage extensive participation and creative exploration.
An opportunity for up and coming architects, designers, and urbanists in general, to explore the site, be creative and demonstrate their vision for the site.
The prize – 4 to 6 short-listed participants will be selected to compete in the second phase, and will receive a $15,000 honorarium to do so. 5 additional participants will receive an honourable mention, and 20 to 30 submissions will be presented at a series of public exhibits.
Phase 2 – A Limited Architectural Design Competition – to ensure excellence in the design of an iconic landmark building.
An invitation to compete will be extended to a select number of participants identified through the Design Ideas Competition. This is a much more rigorous process. Participants must include practicing architects (students, for example, must team up with a registered architect), and the submission requirements will be more detailed.
The prize – The real opportunity to design a landmark building that we are committed to build, with a design contract totalling $125,000.
Registration and submission deadline: January 16, 2006
