perFORM 2016 Building Design Competition, Unveiled

[Zachary Semke]

Hello PHnw-ers,

Hammer & Hand is pleased to announce the launch of the perFORM 2016 Building Design Competition!

Now in its third year, this year's competition calls for architectural interns and students to design a net zero energy, mixed-use, multifamily building in Seattle's diverse Rainier Beach neighborhood.

Group and individual entries will be judged based on the criteria of resourcefulness, replicability, beauty, and community response. The community opportunities identified by the Rainier Beach neighborhood's own community planning work will provide the backdrop for perFORM 2016.

The perFORM jury will distribute $6,000 in cash awards, and award winners will receive publication online and in print, as well as public display of their boards in Seattle and Portland. Professor Rob Peña of the University of Washington Department of Architecture returns as perFORM 2016 Advisor.

Guidelines and site map for this year's competition can be found here.

 

Registration is now open and submissions are due Friday, June 17th 2016 by 5pm PT.

Thanks!

- Zack
