It is about creating and showing to others, it is a chance to exercise your ideas and to perfect them. It is not about competing with others and comparing to them. What advice would you give to individuals who struggle to decide whether it would be beneficial for them to participate in architecture vision competitions? And also for the liberty of expression of this idea, without any constraints. It is the occasion to take a rough idea and to perfect it in an analogical context with the reality. It allows you to experiment, to test your ideas and to refine them.

Why do you participate in architecture vision competitions? Can architecture be ideological? It is a question that we have to think about. Architecture is, eventually, a tool of the human that completes its expression of being. The idea of art, of something that pleases people, never ceases to leave us in the process of design. The architect can be no longer be a creative demiurge, but he has to give the optimum response for any of the different kind of individuals and for various contexts – it is almost calculable, almost an art. The architecture can not just exist, it does not exist without other disciplines such as sociology, philosophy, history and so on, because it has to face much more complex problems of humans, much more complex ways of using the space and perceiving it. We think that nowadays architecture is a frame for a cosmopolitan society and also a unifying principle of it. What does architecture mean to you and what is the role of an architect in your society?Ī much wiser man than us once said that “Architecture is the great book of humanity, the main expression of man in his various states of development of the force or of the intelligence” (Victor Hugo).
