SCI-Arc’s Resilient
Futures Task Force is opening a call for submissions of architectural
plans and concepts in the zones recently affected by wildfires. The
multi-day event showcases the current state of architectural adaptation
as it unfolds under conditions of heightened fire risk. Works of any
typology are accepted, and we invite submissions of in-progress projects
as well as speculative or research-oriented works.
Selected projects will be displayed in an open gallery format from
August 8-10 in W.M. Keck Lecture Hall and its adjacent galleries at
SCI-Arc.
The exhibition opens August 8 at 3pm, with brief opening
remarks at 6pm. The galleries will be open for viewing across the
weekend from 11am-4pm and awards will be announced the following week
after review by a distinguished jury.
If your project is
selected, you will have ample time to submit your materials. SCI-Arc
will give clear dimensions and spatial constraints for installation and
will offer model bases and screens on a first-come, first-served basis.
The event will be staffed with support during installation.
Note
that the event is free and open to the public, and offers the
opportunity to meet with many homeowners, homebuilders, architects,
designers, and construction experts.
Submissions close on the evening of Friday, July 18.
