Home > Architectural design competition

An architectural design competition is a special type of competition in which an organization or government body that plans to build a new (often public) building asks for architects to enter differing designs for the building. The winning design is usually chosen by a panel of non-competing architects and government and local representatives.

This method generally results in much more interesting buildings, as compared to what would be designed by a government-appointed draftsperson or similar.
