今年的ASA国际设计竞赛，目的是打破传统的乡土建筑设计方式。“VEX”这个术语可以从多个角度来探讨，但都能用于挑战当代乡土设计方式，判断传统陈规型的观念是否继续适用于当今社会。

人们往往认为，乡土建筑代表反对现代建筑和生活方式，也有人认为乡土是传统的东西，因此它常常被判定为“低技”产品。这使得乡土设计在今天的社会中变得无关紧要，也意味着它的一成不变。

参赛者面临的挑战是创造出一种新型的乡土语言，其特点与传统形式大不相同。这场比赛目的是展示全新的乡土设计理念，它是可变、有创造力的，甚至能够自我更新。

主办方的目标是重新建立人们对乡土建筑的印象，它具有一定的展示性。评审团将选举出能够展现出活力与创新的乡土设计作品作为本次竞赛的获奖作品。

VEX提问：乡土设计如何影响现代设计？
- 乡土设计是否可以作为催化剂、变量、过程，而不是一个静止的要素？
- 乡土设计能成为大众的建筑语言吗？


提交要求：

每个提交文件必须包含以下内容：
1.参赛者可以选择任何特定的场所作为其设计的基地。作品可以是建筑、城市设计或室内设计。
2.确定场所后，按规模提供概念图、分析图、剖面图、平面图或透视图。表达乡土设计策略的方式与成果。

- 一等奖：4000美元

Type: Design Competition

This year’s ASA International Design Competition aims to upend the typical associations of vernacular architecture and design. The term ‘VEX’ can be approached from a multitude of perspectives, all to challenge, or agitate, the stereotypes of what vernacular should or should not be.
One tends to assume that vernacular architecture is in opposition to modern architecture and lifestyle. There is the perception that vernacular is something that is traditional and therefore is considered to be technologically ‘inept’ or ‘crude’ . This relegates vernacular design to irrelevance in today’s society and also implies that it is immutable and static, and ‘unimprovable’
The challenge of the competition is for participants to create a new type of vernacular with characteristics not commonly associated with vernacular design. The competition is looking to showcase new vernacular design that is mutable, inventive and capable of self-renewal.
The goal is to re-think vernacular as something that can assume performative roles and possess generative potentials. The Jury will reward entrants that can demonstrate vernacular design that is dynamic and is particularly suited to innovation, invention and relevance.

VEX asks: How can Vernacular agitate the status quo?
– Can Vernacular be a catalyst, a variable, a process, rather than a static element?
– Can Vernacular be a language from which others can spring from and use?

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
Each submission must include the following contents:
1. The participant can select any specific site as the site of their design. The subject can be architecture, urban design or interior design.
2. After identifying the site, provide conceptual drawings, analytical drawings, sections, plans, renderings or perspective drawings in any scale. Demonstrate how vernacular quality modifies the subject and the resulting design outcome.
