桑德堡（Carl Sandburg）将语言比喻为我们人类社会生活中必不可少的工具。通过精湛的语言和沟通技巧，让人类在地球上能够更好交流，从而成为地球上的优秀种族。与其他形式的交流相比，人类的语言沟通独一无二，通过语言我们能够用有限的词汇来尽可能地表达内心的感悟。

现代语言的发展时间跨越数千年。言语的表达已经发展成为词语、释义、文字、语法、字体以及语言学沟通系统。有组织认为，世界上大约有7099种生活语言，但是它们并不是均匀分布在世界各地。世界一半以上的人只使用了其中的23种语言。大约三分之一的语言的使用者几乎不足1000人，这些语言的使用者数量过少，所以将来有可能会消失。

语言不仅仅是一种交流手段。也是我们文化中不可分割的一部分。事实上，语言与文化的存在相辅相成。语言使我们能够将想法、知识、甚至人生态度传递给下一代。语言使文化得以发展，让人们通过经验的传承不断超越自己。语言是文化表达基础。作为沟通价值观、信仰和传承习俗的工具，它具有重要的社会功能，培养群体归属感和团结意识。这是文化及其传统和共同价值观得以传达和保存的手段。

语言是特定文化遗产中最重要的部分。随着一种文化的消亡和另一种文化的增长，语言也会发生同样的变化。语言也是珍稀文物，需要像其他发明和古老文物一样受到好好的保护。这是一种无形的文化遗产，通过它人类也许能够解开遗失在地球上的秘密甚至古代文明。

比赛的目的是在伦敦的市中心设计一座标志性的语言博物馆，将语言学的科学解构为语言、文字和意义等方面。设计方案不仅要记录过去和现在的语言历史，而且还要将其发展成语言和未来通信系统的学习中心。

Carl Sandburg has accurately described language as the most indispensable tool in the life of us social animals, men. Men have traversed through ages and grown into the most superior race on Earth because of their advanced linguistic and communication skills. Human language is unique in comparison to other forms of communication, as it allows us to produce a vast range of expressions and emotions from a finite set of elements.
The timeline for the development of modern day languages spans thousands of years. Sounds have developed into words, meanings, scripts, grammar, fonts and a formal system of communication called linguistics. One organization suggests that there are about 7099 living languages in the world, but which are not evenly distributed around the world geography. Only 23 languages account for more than half the world’s population. Roughly a third of languages are now endangered, often with less than 1,000 speakers remaining.
Language is much more than just a means of communication. It is also an inseparable part of our culture. In fact, language allows culture to exist. Language allows us to pass on ideas, knowledge, and even attitudes on to the next generation. Language allows culture to develop by freeing people to move beyond their immediate experiences”. Language is intrinsic to the expression of culture. As a means of communicating values, beliefs and customs, it has an important social function and fosters feelings of group identity and solidarity. It is the means by which culture and its traditions and shared values may be conveyed and preserved.
Languages are the most important part of a particular cultural heritage. As one culture dies and another grows, the same happens to their languages. Language is a relic that needs preservation as other inventions and objects of importance. It is an intangible resource that can also unlock some of the lost secrets and even civilizations that existed on the face of the earth.
The aim of the competition is to design an iconic museum of language in the heart of London that will deconstruct the science of linguistics into various aspects of- speech, script and sense. The proposal must not only become an archive for the past and present world languages but also serve as a learning center that works to develop languages and future communication systems.
