本次竞赛意在向全球征集社交空间的艺术装置。竞赛主办方是WHAT’S IN，该方涉及多学科的研究，提倡把城市密度和住房负担能力通过设计和政策来体现。

2012年以来，WHAT’S IN 已经主办了多次体现研究内容的巡展。上一个展出的是为方便转移和调整的用廉价材料制作的自我支撑结构体。方案要求简单的装置形式。获奖的装置将在2017年11月8-9日的Greenbuild / ArchitectureBoston Expo (ABX 2017)上展出。ABX 是在Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC)每年都会举行的盛会，今年也会在Greenbuild举行，在南美打造最大的建造社区。获奖装置同样将作为移动展品前往其他场地展出。


背景

Quad 2017 想寻求的是能强调社会可持续性的艺术装置，包括三点：环境，经济和公平。

环境的可持续性，能让市民在生活中有意识地降低碳足迹。建造环境中材料有限而珍贵，方案要考虑建造的材料及使用效率。

经济可持续性发展鼓励提高资源的使用效率，展品需要在最少耗材的情况下达到视觉上的审美，同时考虑转移的便利和组装速度。

现在和未来的一代若能坚持创造出健康和适宜居住的社区才能达到社会的可持续性发展。方案为达到较成熟完全，有价值能为大众所接受的标准，需着眼有意义，有影响力的空间来安置装置。便宜低价或数字的交互艺术装置更好。


参赛资格

本次比赛对全球的设计领域人士，装置艺术家和学生都开放。可以小组或个人参赛。没有专业凭证的硬性要求，但是提交方案时要出示曾完成过大型装置艺术的经验证明。每组/个人仅交一次报名费。


竞赛流程

第一阶段 截止日期 2017年5月3日
第一阶段会选出6个不仅完全满足竞赛要求，且能创造出有趣的社会环境空间的方案。入选方案有300美元的津贴以把艺术装置制作出要求的规模大小。需要更详细的要求，请在第一阶段的界面寻找并填写注册参赛报名表。

第二阶段 截止日期 2017年7月26日
筛选后的6个方案提交最后的艺术装置，最终会有一个得奖方案得到7000美元奖金。

The Quad Competition is an international call for a social space installation. The competition is hosted by WHAT’S IN, a multi-disciplinary research initiative that advocates for urban density and housing affordability through design and policy.
Since 2012, WHAT’S IN has built traveling exhibits annually to host research content. Past exhibits were all self-supporting structures designed for ease of travel and deployment, and built with inexpensive materials. Proposals should aim to create an installation with similar approaches.
The winning installation will be premiered at Greenbuild / ArchitectureBoston Expo (ABX 2017) from November 8-9, 2017. ABX is an annual event held at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC), and will be co-located with Greenbuild this year, creating one of the largest events for the building community in North America. The installation will then travel to other locations in the city as a mobile exhibit.

BACKGROUND
QUAD 2017 is seeking design proposals that capture the essence of social sustainability by addressing the various factors contributing to the three pillars of sustainability: Environment, Economy and Equity.
Environmental sustainability, promotes a more conscious urban living with lower carbon footprint. In a built environment where resources are scarce, your proposal should consider efficient use, as well as post-installation applications of building materials.
Economic sustainability, encourages an efficient use of resources. the exhibit should achieve the greatest visual and experiential impact with the least amount of resources. The proposed design should also address ease of travel and speed of assembly.
Social sustainability, occurs when current and future generations are actively supported to create healthy and livable communities that are diverse and socially just. Proposals should envision meaningful and impactful spaces that facilitate social interaction, allow exposure to diverse backgrounds and create an environment leading to mutual respect and acceptance. Low-cost and/or digital interactive features are highly encouraged.

ELIGIBILITY
This competition is open internationally to design professionals, installation artists, and students. Submitters may be teams or individuals. No professional qualification is required; however, submitters must demonstrate experience producing large-format installations. Only one entry per person/team is permitted.

COMPETITION SCHEDULE
PHASE 1   DUE DATE: May 3rd, 2017  
The first phase seeks proposal entries that not only satisfy all programmatic needs and demonstrate experience and capabilities in fabrication, but also create a lively social space. Six finalists will be awarded a $300 USD stipend to develop a full-scale physical mock-up of their proposals.  For detailed requirements, please refer to the Phase 1 page and fill out a registration form.

PHASE 2   DUE DATE: July 26TH, 2017
Up to six finalists from phase 1 will be required to develop their design and produce a full mockup of a portion of the full design as the submission content for phase 2. In the second phase, one final winner will be selected with a $7,000 USD award towards the final execution.
