Competition as context: who will see our work?
The BIG problem of a remote studio experience is that there’s no community that will look at the students’ work and comment on it, since we won’t be on campus with other design faculty and students. So… we’re going to join not one, but THREE “competitions” (some are really “challenges” that will not select a winner) and submit the students’ work to those. I’m hoping that will help us get feedback internationally, and create a community of practice around our topics.
We’re going to enter the Landscape Architecture Foundation’s Green New Deal Superstudio, LA+ journal’s CREATURE competition, and submit projects to the International Geodesign Collaborative’s 2021 Call for Projects.
It’s going to be wild, trying to submit to all of these… something like launching space probes in search of communication with other sentient life.
