每个建筑学生应该参与的7大年度竞赛
7 Annual Competitions Every Architecture Student Should Try at Least Once

由专筑网李韧，杨帆编译

当就读于建筑学院的你渐渐习惯于每天学习的苦差事时，偶尔的放松会给你带来一阵舒爽的感受，但如果休息多了，人总是会变得过于慵懒，也许在最初的几天你会沉浸于以往失去的睡眠之中，甚至开始追剧或暴饮暴食，可是不久之后你便会开始觉得这种无所事事的日子仿佛在吞噬着你的生命。

这时候你可以尝试着参加建筑竞赛，那些充满建设性的设计大纲也许会深深地吸引你，将你从无所事事地刷新YouTube上的各种视频中解脱出来。而且，你不再受制于老师的指导或学校的课程，你可以大胆地进行自己创造性的设计。在各种国际竞赛开始征集作品的特定时间里，你可以根据自己的时间和兴趣来选择合适的竞赛项目，然而，现有竞争对手数量之多也令人深感困惑。在这里我们列出7项久负盛名的面向学生开放的年度设计竞赛：

When you’re used to the grind of architecture school, breaks can hit you like rain on a warm day—cool at first, but terribly annoying soon enough. While the first few days breeze past as you catch-up on lost sleep and binge-watch Game of Thrones, you realize before long that you’re going insane with nothing to absorb all your new-found energy.
This is where architectural competitions come in handy. They provide a constructive outlet while being deeply engrossing, thus keeping you from hopelessly refreshing Youtube to see if Buzzfeed uploaded a new video. Also, the fact that you’re no longer constrained by the direction of your studio-leader or school program enables you to experiment creatively. With diverse international competitions running at any given time, you can take your pick, depending on your individual interests and the amount of time you want to devote. However, the sheer number of available competitions can be deeply confusing as well. Here we shortlist seven of the most prestigious annual architectural competitions open to students:


1、120小时：快速设计

While the competition’s 2016 brief dealt with the refugee crisis, WDCD has chosen to focus its attention on climate change for the next two years as it invites students, creative professionals, and imaginative start-ups from all countries and disciplines to participate. Interestingly, the competition also allows participants to create customized briefs, depending on their design approach, subject of interest, and project location. The winners, selected and evaluated by an international jury, share an award package worth €900,000 which includes a project production budget.


7、伯克利奖：征文比赛

一般举办时间：第一轮：9月——11月，第二轮：12月——2月

伯克利奖成立于1998年，由加利福尼亚大学建筑系组织举办。这项竞赛只向全日制的建筑学专业学生开放，鼓励参赛者通过进入社区来扩大他们的学术教育范围，并通过调研来了解建筑环境如何更好地服务于我们的日常生活。每年主委会都会选择一个对建筑社会艺术的讨论至关重要的话题，并提出一个相关的问题，参赛的学生们需提交一份500字的论文方案来叙述相关问题。从这些文章中，大约有二十五名参赛者能够进入半决赛，那时他们应该用一篇2500字的论文来更加仔细地阐述他们的观点。

7. The Berkeley Prize: Essay Writing Competition
Usually runs: Initial round September – November. Semifinalists round December – February.
Established in 1998, The Berkeley Prize is endorsed by the Department of Architecture, University of California, Berkeley. Open only to full-time undergraduate architecture students, the competition encourages participants to expand their academic education by going into their communities and investigating how the built environment best serves and reflects the everyday lives of those for whom we design. Each year, a topic critical to the discussion of the social art of architecture is selected and a related question is posed; students are invited to submit a 500-word essay proposal in response. From this pool of essays, around twenty-five selected contestants move to the semi-finals where they are asked to submit a 2500-word essay expanding upon their proposals.
